While Henrik and Wallisch are defiantly some of the best park skiers around right now I would not call them legends. Neither have done much (not saying they won't) to change or redefine freeskiing, for one they have not been around long enough. If you read the names of the people posted for the most part they have all really influenced the future and direction of freeskiing.
My list in somewhat chronological order.
Plake
Schmidt
Coombs
Shane
Seth
Krentler
J. Leventhal
Ostness
Mike Nick
Shane
Mike Douglass
Vincent Dorien
J.P.
J.F.
Shane
Boyd Easly
Dave Crighton
Jon Olsen
Tanner Hall
Simon Dumont
Shane

I just think its hard to designate somebody as a legend while they are still a kid wearing baggy ass shit. Amazing, sure. Legend.... eh,,,,,
