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

the most stylish people are the ones that have their own style and they make it look good. they dont force their arms down on rails, they dont force afterbang, etc.  I like style that is unique to the person that does it, especially if they do it and dont even know. i know people who try to force their arms down when riding rails and it looks like shit. just be fluid and dont force your style.

vanulars been mentioned like once, this is ridiculous. his stuff from 3 years ago still blows everything out of the water, not to mention the urban seg in realtime.

casabon, PK hunder, wallisch, jossi, Thall, carlson, vanular, t-rain.

Casabon has by far the best style in the park, especially on rails. Wallisch is a close second tho, he definitely has casabon beat on technical ability railwise.

PK is just so clean, THall is smooth as always, and jossi, sammy, vanular and t-rain have always been so stylish.

Sean Pettit has got to be one of my favourites to watch..
Eric Hjorleifson has to be another one.. Amazing smear turns, shreds so fast.. Kills it
In terms of park/urban Casabon or Hornbeck probably..

Eric Pollard and Andy Mahre in the deep (I'd love to see a modern full park segment from Pollard though) Blake Nyman for everywhere and anything.  Super unique look at any feature on the hill
Tom Wallisch is probably the smoothest park skier out there right now

in my opinion hornbeck and wallisch arnt really stylish
their shit is too forced, i dont get as hyped on them cause it look like their tryin way to hard to have stee
style should come naturally, it should be how shit flows not how you keep your arms at your side and ride away all banging and shit
for real steezz its mick d, tanner, t rain, corey van, liam d.

My top 5: (in no particular order)
1- Tim Durtschi
2- T-Wall
3- Andy Mahre
4- Garrett Russell
5- Mike Hornbeck

...although I just want to throw this out there, if you don't like it, you can throw it back, an honorable mention to Dylan Natale, and Griffin Cummings, just saying...
