Who has seen Goepper's X Games Run? Do you think he can beat Wallish at the Dew Finals?

If you haven't seen the video you can check it out here...

you also spelled "wallisch" like kids did back in 2008.  so correction on that as well. 
and to answer your question- no, he' would have to become at least three times as thug in order to beat tom.

hum nope, he's far from being more technical than twall on rails, not even on jumps. wallly have one of the biggest bag of trick(including unnat tricks) of the game.

yall are high.

Of course Goepper can win...as could about 4-5 other guys on any given day. Totally dependent on about a dozen other factors, many of which lie outside of the control of either skier.

Anyone claiming Goepper is just simply "more technical" are jokers. I don't know that you could rightfully claim that there is a more technical park skier on the planet than Tom Wallisch. There are guys that have the capability of landing more technically difficult runs than Wallisch perhaps could on a given day, on a given course, etc. but that doesn't mean that they're definitively more technical.

Does anyone here really believe that Tom Wallisch couldn't learn ANY trick that another park skier is doing? I feel pretty damn certain that Wallisch could put any trick to his feet that he wants to assuming someone else has done it. I know that sounds mad dickriderish, but I've seen the guy ski enough to know that there isn't a more talented park skier doing it right now. I'm not saying he's just simply the best, but I'm saying that no one is really clearly better. I'd say three consecutive W's on the biggest stage back that up pretty solidly.

I think what you meant to say here was when Nick gets more technical on rails he can beat Tom.

Tom is human and therefore can be beat. The way he is skiing right now though good luck to anyone out there trying to. I think this whole thread should be more about how damn good Nick is skiing right now especially since he is only 17. His stomps are rivaling Tom's right now and the kid has crazy good air awareness.

Of course he can, because Tammy's glory days are over, I read it somewhere, can't remember where, but it seemed legit.

lets not forget that most of Toms Wins this season have been EXTREMELY close. Especially Dew Tour Breck and X games. Had he fell or bobbled on either of those runs Goepper would have won.

Obviously Tom is the favorite to Win any slope competition right now, but anyone can have a bad run or 2 and fuck up

maybe in a few years but Goepper will have to improve his style... he doesnt a style of his own. For me he just does tricks without anything special
