Who would be alike and why?

Some match ups:

Bobby Brown & Seb Toots
-Similar competition style
-Both kill it super hard on jumps



Vincent Gangier & Scott Stevens
-Both are really creative
-Have a very unique style



Sammy Carlson & Torstein Horgmo
-Both have a good all around style
-Kill it in competitions & casual riding



LJ Strenio & Halldór Helgason
-Both murder the streets
-Have a similar street & park style

More the new LJ from The Grand Bizzare rather than this.


Your turn!
Name a couple, this could be a cool little thread.

No.


MAYBE Tanner and T Rice


But even that is pushing it. Travis Rice is basically his own species, hes not really comparable to anyone else.

very unfair to Dane. Trice is simply 5-10 years ahead of the skiers right now no questions asked.

No, the closest would probably be Tanner, but no one is really THAT close to Rice.

Kay, so don't hate because I don't too much, but what makes Travis Rice so amazing? I understand that he is great, but even though he can triple, so have skiers. I'm not downsizing him at all, just want to know.

the match ups in the original post would be good, except Scott Stevens and Andy Parry would be a way better comparison.
