I have to do an essay for english 101.

It is a compare and contrast essay and my teacher forced me to do it on two skiiers styles. So i immediately thought of Terry Wallnuts. Who to compare him to? It needs to be someone who obviously doesn't have tha same style and isn't a person that everyone would assume if i were to put it up on NS.

+k and much love.

i would compare him to some older pros that are into BC now, like Seth Morrison just to show how different people can be and still have the same love. Or somone like Pep Fujas who blew up big and had arguably the most influential segment in skiing (1242) kinda the same way wallisch blew up with his segments. theres alot of possibilities

i'd say pollard.

both wallisch and pollard are on 2 opposite ends of the freeskiing spectrum, but theyr both got sick style for thier respective areas of skiing.

pollard is pushing BC and pow lines farther than any skier has taken it before him and wallisch....wallisch is just straight up dirty at anything he does in the park. he's prolly my favorite park skier to watch, just cuz he's so smooth wit any trick he throws.
