Basically what do you think is the best year of superunknown finalists. I think Superunknown VII...

Aidan Sheahan: filming w/ Matchstick

Austin Torvinen: filming w/ TSP

Alex Bellemare: filming w/ Level 1

Spencer Milblocker: filming w/ Level 1

Karl Fostvedt: filming w/ Poor Boyz

Chris Laker: steady on the comp scene

Clayton Vila: filming w/ TGR, Stept, & Poor Boyz

Sig Tveit: filming w/ Level 1

McRae Williams: steady on the comp scene

Logan Imlach: filming w/ Level 1

Tim McChesney: filming w/ Level 1

I'm not really familiar with the early superunknowns so this is definitely debatable

I'm not sure, I don't think so. Superunknown III also had mike riddle. So that lineup was pretty stacked. And Mike Clarke won it.

As I understood he decided to concentrate on his school/filming more than pro skier career? And he was really ill by the time he won superunknown. Had some bangers in realtime and was one of the first to start doing dub corks in comps.

Still consider he's got a more unique style on that dub 12 than many have today.

This year was sick there was a lot of finalists from Quebec and a bunch of dope skiers like Torvinen, Doan, Anton Jansson and others.

As mentioned, Vanular was in High 5 after winning, which while it was good, wasn't on this level of good. If you want to say who had the best segment in their first year of filming with Level 1 (after winning Superunknown)...it's probably still Wallisch. It's hard to tell because of Realtime's format, but if took all of Wallisch's shots from those park shoots he clearly takes the cake. Between all the perfect landings and the burly shots (450 on to the gap to down box was HUGE...and it showed since only he and Delorme got shots on it and both took huge falls). I have to say, the single best winner all around is clearly Wallisch (multiple amazing segments, contest wins, and had probably the best Superunknown edit of all time).

As far as best crop of finalists...I'd say either the year in the OP or the year Vanular won, for reasons that have already been stated in this thread.
