Me and one of my friends got into this argument of who was the true king of urban I think its Nick Martini without a doubt but he thinks its Matt Walker whos just as crazy. So I figured i should see what NS has to say about this post who you think is the true king of urban one of these guys or someone completely diffrent

no one has to be the 'king'. Just admire certain segments - skiing's changing so much and when you go as hard as Cam and LJ do you're going to have years where you're hurt like LJ this past year or Cam the year before.

Stept crew and LJ.
Martini used to hold it down in urban as basically a king.

for me its martini, I love his style. He goes big on a lot of stuff. And he is pretty technical at times.

personally, i'm unimpressed with their edits
don't get me wrong, they slay but when i saw people saying how they were so creative i was expecting something insane but then it was kinda meh. nipwitz is far superior imo

and just like any part of skiing, there will be standout people in smaller details of it like how cam does huge shit but not necessarily the craziest tricks where (just for example) the nipwitz crew and wallisch do way crazier tricks

Oh, I'd love to see you do a k-fed or some shit on anything Cam does. To me a straight rail grease on half the rails Cam does would be crazy.

As to the OP, Cam for sure. I just love how that kid exploded outta no where with his skills and slayed rails no one was thinking of in the 09-10 season when he didn't even have a ski sponsor. Hard work and creativity > a million switch-ups on a played handrail.
