Can Gus Kenworthy do the most of any other skier?

there are only 7 tricks that gus kenworthy can't do. (out of all the tricks that have been landed by anyone in the world)
nosebutter dub cork 10/12 and nose butter triple cork 16. Also i haven't seen him do a zero spin, quad backflip(if that video wasn't a fake), and dub cork 7/9
HE CAN ACTUALLY DO EVERY OTHER TRICK
someone prove me wrong. If someone proves me wrong we could ask to do the tricks.

Gus can't switch dub misty 12/14/16 or at least I haven't seen one out of him, but yeah he probably has the worlds biggest bag of tricks.

Why all the Gus hate? He is without a doubt one of the most balanced skiers; in the air, on rails, and in halfpipe.

his jump game is on point, but for rail tricks I'm sure there are plenty that have been done that he hasn't

I am pretty sure that he can neither blindsoul nor hippie killer.

On the subject of wizard tricks, can he slide a moving box?

LJ did a backflip after running a marathon. Can Gus do that?

He can do a triple 270 on and a triple 450 out so I think that speaks for itself

I am almost certain Gus can dub 9.

And probably dub 7 if he tried for long enough

What are you on about, anyone who can beat Casabon at Skate whilst also having one of the biggest bags of slopestyle/big air type tricks clearly has enormous variety. As for creativity the switch cork screaming seaman japan he threw at the Vars comp was easily one of the most creative and stylish tricks of the whole contest.

Agreed except the fact you said on point. He can pretty much do every trick in the air but there are definitely rail tricks he hasn't done

to be honest,alot of the urban that stept hit isnt super technical stuff, its ridiculously huge shit that takes balls the size of coconuts to hit. im like 80% sure that if gus had no worries of getting hurt, he could do some crazy urban shit that would get close to the level of stept.

He never did a dub screamin semen. Although I have no doubt he is able to do it. I keep asking myself why Gus has only 2 sponsors right now.

probably some, but not many. I think he is probably one of the best technical rail skiers in the world after Andreas, Wesson, and Wallisch.

That whole edit is just so on point. There isn't a sloppy landing/trick/grab in the entire thing.

If i ment tail butter, i woulda said it. No, a switch nose butter is going switch and doing a nose butter and bringing to to forwards. That is a crazy tricks thats never been done on jumps.

It's a more complex rotation. I've never actually heard of a dub cork 7, but a dub 12 is basically a cork 7 linked to a cork 5. You load up a cork 7 and then keep going over and open up at the end. Doubles with lower rotations are more complex, they require you to have more presence in the air and shift your rotation midair more quickly and more precisely.

Correct me if I'm wrong?

You can try to justify it factually but when it comes down to it, Gus is not a fun skier to watch for me. I'd way rather watch tc, b and e, totally trevor, real skifi, LSM, etc. who do more than just spin a lot on rails.

Gus is by far my favorite comp-only skier. His rail game is unmatched, in terms of smoothness and technicality. There is nothing to be said about his jump game that hasn't already been said. He slays. I usually don't enjoy watching skiers in Gus' type of freeskiing ski, but Gus is an exception.
