What about the revolution that's just happening?

We have Shane McConkey, Eric Pollard and Pep Fujas to thank for this one!

well... i mean in that way, they sort of moved in the same direction because they ride together now. stylistically, i would say tanner has the more "revolutionary" style, just because its different than traditional big mountain skiing, but they both do revolutionary things...

but still, they arent really comparable because they are both revolutionaries. you cant say that seth is crazier than tanner or tanner is crazier than seth because they both dominate sooo hard. obviously on in more forum than another.


a better thread would be: idea crew vs believe crew/ who is most innovative in the backcountry/big mountain forum. because if you dont think pep, andy and pollard can keep up in the big boy stuff, or that tanner cant do butters off of pillow lines...

Seth INVENTED big mountain, he's been throwing things most kids don't do in the park off of 70 foot cliffs and is what every big mountain skier wants to but never will be. Tanner won everything and is a househould name because he is super consistent with big tricks, but he hasn't invented anything.
