There are so many to choose from and so many young guns killing it. But whenever I think of anyone in mind...it always comes to LJ Strenio. Kid absolutely destroys jibs and has improved at a rapid rate on jumps as well. Seany J from Big Boulder holds it down as well, but Strenio is a step above every underrated skier in the industry. And surprise....another east coast killer!!

LJ is the man for the job.  He has the tricks, and the style to be the next big pro rider.

Seriously though, LJ is sick or perhaps kiesel or maybe even nyman.

LJ and Jordan are on completely different levels

LJ for sure would be a legit choice.

I hope they pick either LJ, Hornbeck, Ahmet or Gus. Although only LJ and Gus are doing the real technical stuff.

LJ makes more bigger contests then Gus, although Gus does have some sick doubles. No body has a sicker jib game then Strenio besides the pretzel man himself and maybe martini....who would be my pick but is hurt. LJ's bag of tricks is bigger and his altitude as well.

you're right. especially since there's no MEGAMO© at the super sessions to trick the judges into thinking his double frontflip was cooler than the doubles everyone else is going to throw.

first of all kenworthy seems like the perfect skier to join team usa, his bag of tricks are endless and secondly IMO, strenio's more of a rail skier than jumps
