I see a lot of people omitting K2 here... if we're basing 'best team' on the criteria of skill and well-roundedness, then I think K2 is a clear choice.

Pep & Andy destroy BC and park
Frank Raymond is hands down the best urban-pro
PK Hunder should be on top of the comps pretty soon
and Seth Morrison is a living legend.

i think there is like 6 pros that hit urban to begin with, so being the best urban pro can't be that hard.

if you want urban riders on k2 check out shey flynn and matt something that skis for them they are not good but super good i think.

For skis, unfortunatly the marketing machine of Salomon has a lot of the more high profile riders.  Armada are up there with them too.

So true, they rival redbull for the best. And thats not including Eric p, who is basically a k2 rider as well.

If your talking about one single company than oakley takes the cake for sure.
