We were watching Bergeron's edit yesterday wondering how the fuck it didn't make it into finals. Kids got a really good chance of winning.

I think Mcchesney (sp?) has a bit bigger bag of tricks, but I think Paul's edit was the best

just watched bergeron's edit. that was so sick.  his jump skills are so sick and he doesnt bang like a dumbass.  not to mention his urban skills were pretty sick too if lacking a little bit in the style

i think paul bergeron has got the best edit and would be perfect for level1.  But if they're really looking for someone who's "super uknown", i think Niklas Eriksson would be the guy. I've never heard anything about the kid, and he's super good. Not to mention Chris Laker, his rail skills is iiiiiimpresive!

Looking forward to see who wins, when will it be announced?

Most of them are amazing, but also remind me of other rider. most of the kids I saw there have a style that's an exact copy of HH or TW etc... They're are not adding anything new to the sport (besides being incredibly good and doing ALL the tricks)

Luka Melloni is the only one that has a new fresh style to me, but also, he's my homie so my opinion might be screwed up. Some others have a way bigger bag of tricks, althought might not have a personal style.

Paul B has my vote. He is realy REALY one damn good of a skier. His style is sooo fresh, so clean, so fun to watch. He can stomp every tricks that are in his videos 20 times in a row if he wants, he is learning new tricks everyday and is so motivated, realy the kind of skier that can get a part filmed in two days of shooting. He's the king of rider that level 1 needs.

yeah for sure but the only thing that suck whit B paul it's that I heard that he doesn't have a good atitude... like he is breaking spotlight when he can't land his tricks but don't know if all that is really true...

owens fucken kills it.  Hes 16 and has such good style.  Not to mention he's from NORTH CAROLINA... thats pretty super unknown if i've ever heard of it.  Its easy to do banger trick when you have 50 sick rails in a row and a 5 jump line.  I really dont see how anyone could ride pc or summit and be considered unknown.

Video of that.... I think if he can do that over 80 footers 2 years ago he is more than ready to hit the shit at the park shoots...

I have to agree Charlie kills it. When I was in Utah a few weeks ago I rode with Charlie for awhile claim/ but it was murdering everything in sight. I can only imagine what he could do at a photoshoot plut he's only 16

Just watched Niko Soi's part and i noticed that every other urban at the end was unatural foot forward. Thought that was pretty cool.

You can call me out and say this is a claim and what not but I had the chance to ski with Niko for an afternoon in Big White and he killed it. Although it doesn't show in his video, from what I saw, he can get onto rails just about any way imaginable. I even saw a switch butter 270 on to a 40ft down which reminded me of JF Houle at Dew Tour. The jumps at big White weren't too great but I saw some dialed in cork 3s and switch cork 7s. And his backcountry stuff in his video are Wiley Miller-esque is you ask me.

Anyways he has one of the few (note that I didn't say only) edits in there that were different and from what I've seen, he's solid in every aspect from BC, to park, to urban. Sorry it got long.

Here is a realistic analysis....

yes, paul b, warnick, sean j and all those kids kill it. But the reason why there is so much debate is because they are all so similar. every one of them completely emulates tom wallisch. how many kids do you want afterbanging out rodeo 9 mute or flat 3 tweaked jap. weve all seen that shit before. im not denying the fact that most of those kids would kill a park shoot. however level 1 already has so many banger kids that i think it would be stupid to take on another one (look what happen to brogan, just another face in the afterbang crowd).... level 1 needs some fresh talent which is why they need to take:

-luka melloni (personal favorite)
-chris logan
-andrew holson
-corey roberts
-mcrae williams


these kids kill it with their own style

I love how nobody is even mentioning Matt Luczkow.. I mean it was 97% BC shit but without a doubt in my mind it was the sickest edit.. Maybe not the best for a Level 1 park shoot.. but on another level from the others in my mind..

i totally agree with you, i think the gayest thing about most of the edits s that only Corey Roberts did a press. im getting really tired of sw ups and pretzels. Presses are the shit!!!!
