I am definitely stoked on Tom Wallisch. I've seen so many of his edits and the kid is killin' it. Other than him I have always liked Eric Pollard's style but everyone these days seems so smooth just because there is so much competition. I saw a podcast with Garrett Russell or someone and he did these really smooth butters where he'd go up on his tips, spring off, and at three he would tail press, pop off his tails and land at 540. Definitely sick

Allen lam, mike hornbeck, andy parry, will wesson, ahmet dadali, giray dadali. Just to name a few. Anyone having fun and skiing all the time has style in my mind. Whether they r sick nasty at skiing or gaper.

tom wallisch definitely. hes got this unusual floatiness about him, everything is so damn smooth. when he lands you cant even tell when the impact is. when he lands switch hes in the same position in the air as he is landing. other skiers, when they land switch, usually bend down cause of the impact. but not walnuts. he just keeps floating. look at what im talking about in this vid

here in his KoS edit, every time he lands its incredible. its almost as if hes still in the air, but just floating 1mm off the ground



especially at 0:42

Not sure how much people appreciate him, but Eric Hjorleifson is one steezy dude. The man has a turn. You just watch him like make a pow turn, and you're just like "fuck, no matter what I do, I will never be that good." So effortless and smooth in everything he does.

Riddle. The guy probably poops with more style than most people ski with.

And as for why, mostly because he puts style and grabs into the super tough tricks that all the other pros have to fight around. For example that switch 10 in the pipe had a grab that looked as good as Simon and Tanners forward 9 grabs (if not better), and when those guys do switch 10s in the pipe they are just doing whatever it takes to get the thing around and land it.

And same thing with the 12s he was doing at X, freaking supertweaked grabs in a trick that most people have to gymnastically spin around.

I agree with the stuff he puts out in his edits, it is just so forced...but seeing him in person, it is a lot less forced and just a lot smoother and better...super sick.

I am a huge fan of Colby West. He is always mixing it up. He tries to tweak stuff.. always doing a different grab. Double grabs on a good majority of his tricks too

Pollard, because watching him lazily carve through some trees is more engaging to me than some skiers throwing down huge tricks in the park.

There are so many skiers that I love to watch.  Tanner Hall in the BC and in pipe just because he links tricks in the pipe and he makes them look smooth.  And also because the way he skis in the BC with such ease.  You don't see many people go straight from doing basically all park to BC and see how easy of a transition he made.  Also Wallisch in the park I believe is amazingly smooth with every trick that he does.  It doesn't look like he forces anything.  He just kind of lets his body flow with the trick and makes it look easy.  And finally Eric Pollard because he just has such a different mentality it seems than so many other skiers.  I just love watching him ski.  He always looks like he's enjoying himself and that's what skiing should be.
