I kept scrolling down thinking "someone has to mention Tim McChesney". The guy is freakin sick, just look at his rodeos how fucking smooth they are. He can bust a rodeo 12 while having his hands in his poclets.

But nonetheless henrik progressed alot this year and so did Tom Wallisch.

as much as i hate to say it, simons style improved a lot this year as well as his rail game. he DEFINITLEY should NOT have won x games, but you've gatta give him props for looking steeze as hell the whole time big air. he just needs to sack up and try some dubs, and it would have been way more legit of a win.

LJ and HH are my two new favorite skiers from this year, so looks like they are doing something right!

What if we took away the violent connotations of "killed" and replaced them with "caressed?"

Which skier caressed it hardest this year? I've no idea, but Luke Tanaka is pretty underrated.

Jon Olsson for sure

There are so many new up and comers that killed it this year, like Kelly Gallacher, Charlie Owens, and Nick Martini. They are skiing's future, and they're going to be amazing. But like I said in another thread, Jon Olsson has brought so much to the sport, coming up with these double's, and hosting these events with jumps big enough to do these doubles and experiment with these big tricks. He's got so much talent, and he's such a great asset to the sport.

1 problem: HES A RACER. lol

If your so dedicated to our sport that you die in the name of progress, you go down as both a shredder and an icon

for the guys i work with, i'd have to say martini....never shot the kid before, but then we met up at skibowl to work together....his style in the air and bang on the ground made my job easy....he makes it look so effortless while still having power. i wish i had more time to shoot with him. well, next year's projects are a few short months away.
