What are everyone's thoughts on who will win this years superunknown. No disrespect to any finalist, obviously all made it this far because they are insanely good at skiing and deserve to make it big time.

Personally, Lundberg is the one to beat in my opinion. Who agrees/ disagrees?

Liked nearly all of them.

And not that it normally happens but I am so stoked that there is such an emphasis on style and creativity in this contest. No one in the finals was just chucking their meat around on a bunch of doubles.

Shay Lee was filthy. However, we need to wait and see who steps up at the park shoot and goes for the gold. All of those entries have a legitimate shot at the title.

I'd like to see Shay. The Edoggo guys really stacked themselves in but i think Anton's the cleanest.

Anton's landings blew my fucking mind. When he landed it just looked like he hasn't even done anything. I seriously couldn't, still can't, fathom it.

Magnus Graner is easily the best finalist pick in my opinion. He is the only guy that was truly "unknown" to me and he has a really sick unique style. Short and sweet edit cant wait to see what he does at this jump shoot.

Anybody feel like Laporte got super robbed last year? Cause I'll be honest, this years entry is kinda meh... But last year I swear his edit was straight out of a Level 1 movie.

Ya I think his edit from last year was more impressive too. He showed some different skills this time around.

I'd have to disagree with you, IMO the way he dropped his head way low on his switch landings looks weird to me and there were some somewhat sketchy forward landings in there.

I'd love to see Lundenburg (sp?) Otherwise, Shay Lee, I think skiing needs more people like him.

Shay Lee and Sandy Boville were the edits that got me the most stoked to ride, but Bulzan had some serious urban bangers like the last 180 drop, overall though the Toy Soldiers edits edged it for me cos they made me want to go out and ski the most.

I'm not sure why Shay and Sandy even need to prove themselves anymore at superuknown, might as well just skip the formalities and film with them, everyone knows they both can get it done in pretty much any setting (Shay especially, very well-rounded skier)

In my opinion of course.

Threads for later edit sprees. Also anyone have the link to the Finals video part 2? I'm just too lazy to try and find it.
