Uhh.. the video 3 above yours of Ahmet's switch 12 is definitely in turbo. He also does a couple of flat 9's including the one where he knocks his teeth out.

he didn't have any jumps in turbo because he got hurt really early in the season (either late december or january) before level 1 did any jump filming/shoots. the only shots he had were the early season urban filming he did before he blew his knee out

I think it would be safe to say that Ahmet is a amazing jumper and Will Can hold his own.

i think the only rail tricks that are as gnarly as the biggest airs are things like candides cork 810 and switch 630 and delorme and wallishes huge gap to rails

wow did I say they couldn't jump? No
I said they could put out a segment that only has rails and people would still love it but if someone like Jon only has a segment with jumps people start calling him an aerial skier... get real

Big airs can be and are gnarly, but I respectfully disagree. My reasoning is that I would hit the JOI jump without the slightest fear or hesitation after seeing it correctly speed checked, etc. However, there are rails I would never even touch. This is not to say I cannot slide rails, but that some rails are so ungodly (daresay, gnarly?) that i simply cannot fathom, nor can many others that have taken innumerable headers into concrete stairsets, dropoffs, etc. Look to urban, look to large gap-ons, look anywhere else other than the flat rail you slay and I think you may agree.

whatever mang
my point still stands that kids are too fixed on rails, they seem to think that rails are more important than jumps. I have yet to see anyone complain that a pro is too focused on rails and needs to work on jumps
I just found it funny that he calls Jon an aerial skier when Jon is a far more well rounded skier than most pros today. that is all

But the op was "does jon ever slide rails? if he hoes can somebody find a pic or vid of it? ive been looking forever" I am only saying that people recognize them for both while Jon is not ever noticed for rails.

Dadali was injured the season turbo was filmed right and missed all the park shoots, in Realtime there are loads of sick shots of him jumping.

Its still a valid point though I like watching what there doing on rails but I dont wanan watch a whole segment of it.

Haha, I can't believe you guys are fighting about if Dadali/Wesson did this or that here or there. Get on with it or make another thread.. What comes to Jon I recall him saying a couple years back that he doesn't like rails. And that time the jumps got so much more attention than someone's ability to slide rails. I think times have changed a bit, except double flips and Gagnier's air pretzels,  I can't figure out any new standout  tricks that can be done in the air. So the skiing has gone more to the rail side of things where there's still something new to progress. And Jon has imo proven that he masters the mountain all over like someone mentioned above. Still, if someone finds rails the funniest thing in skiing, then do it.

Yea but Dumont was always good at rails, he just didn't hit as many for a few years.  Look back to some of the older Level 1 movies, Dumont had a bunch of pretty good rail shots.  Jon just doesn't like rails as much, and its not really an issue considering how good he is at everything else.
