I know it's a repost, but that thread was made in August and it was more of a prediction thread.

I'd have to give it LJ

before you go trash talking an amazing skier like LJ you should at least know some of what he's done. just because he isnt doing the same tricks as Andy Parry doesnt mean hes not progressing the sport.

https://www.newschoolers.com/web/content/viewvideo/id/145590/search_string/misty+/

how many misty 6 tail tap ons have you seen? it that "the proof" you were looking for? if little kids were trying to do LJ's tricks they would die, and nobody wants little kids to die, do you?

McCheese has got a lot more ahead of him though, especially if he keeps it up. i expect to see him at a dew tour stop some time in the next two seasons

all the dudes people said kill it hard. However most have been known, at least on Newschoolers, for a while. Montage Inc dudes. Parker White? Chris Logan? Bernie Rosow? Dudes have been slaying it all season EVERYWHERE. Jump Tricks for days, Rail game, Urban tricks, Slay Pow, BC Tricks....... Everyone in the thread kills it, but mostly in the park and urban. These dudes have been putting out park and pow edits consistently that are just hammers. Another person that I haven't seen too many people mention is Walker.

Ware will next year. He got super good this year, but Im going to say next year he will. Kids super sick and he was just throwing down a bunch of new stuff out here a few days ago. Straight killing it.

LJ, Timmy, and Martini have definitely stepped it up this season. All will have super sick segments.
