Who's your pick for the most overrated skier right now. Mine is probably dash Longe. He's good and all but I just don't think he has the same amount of skill as other pros. I give him credit for wanting to learn every trick both ways but it just seems like his level of skiing should not be getting him the level of exposure he is getting. It's my opinion

If they don't have skills then they would have never been recognized in the first place.

tomas rinfret, i wasnt really impressed with his skiing in rfa, but thats all i saw him ski so i might be wrong. i mean most of his tricks were 3's, small ones at that

i think we have the right to criticize skiers, but iw ouldnt say that the ones mentioned were over rated, dash long had like 3 clips in rfa, im sure it was his throaway footage that he could do first try anytime, im sure if he tried and filmed for a year he could put out a killer segment

First off, I think Loubeck and his lack of a legacy have been delt with by the changing times of skiing. Second off, nearly everyone of you, the only ones excluded being the sarcastid kids:), are shut into a strange strange world in side your brain. All this overrated talk with some very professional and amazing names being brought up. So stupid. Seriously, people are there for a reason. Far and few skiers are ever overrated. Quit living your lives vicariously though the latest movies and magazines, clutching that jaded-assed belief that any picture of video is the only and ultimate representation of one's skills. I'm over this.

Whoever's ripping on Candide, you don't know how hard you need to be slapped. In fact you don't know anything.

As for Seth, I think he's a sick skier, and he's got alot of guts, but i'm not sure that I would say he is as skilled as DC or CR or something, just because it really does take more skill to throw a 1260 over a table or a 1080 off a big backcountry kicker than it does to drop a huge cliff. That's just my opinion.

Can't stand McConkey, I think he should have retired a while ago, he's going too far with 2 monoskis for pow days, c'mon
