What do you guys think is the single greatest shot of all time? I'm really having trouble thinking of my favorite, curious to see what you guys think.

Candide's massive 5 over the hip at superpark.  Or perhaps Tom's motionless zero spin.

Definitely when Robin Hood split that douchebag's arrow right on the bullseye. Best shot ever.

It's not the best(I can't decide which is best, and I'd be forgetting others), but this has always been the most memorable(3:00)

In the eighth episode of the B and E show Phil casabons back foot slide on the down flat down is insane in my opinion.

when i think of a classic ski edit this if the first thing that came to mind. know one can deny this video didn't change a little something in skiing. the amount of no pole skiing there was the following season was a little overwhelming!!

I came in here to post that. I've never watched a clip on repeat so many times. Still my favorite double.

There's also this:

and a lot of shots of Shane McConkey come to mine especially his quadruple back base jump in the Hitlist.

Henrik's dub 12 blunt in Refresh when all the doubles were starting to be thrown, or maybe Wallisch with his 270 on that quad kink also in Refresh, which was is first shot of his opening segment. The more I think of it, the more I'm not sure because they were so many bangers throughout the years.

I judge this by which shots made me shit my pants the most at the time.
1. T-Hall's cork 3 in yearbook. (The crowd flipped their shit during this shot at the premiere).
2. Pep Fujas's closing 180 off a cliff in Session 1242 (non center-mounted Seth Pistols. WTF)
3. Tom Wallisch's Mt. Hood jump segment in Turbo (the zero spin holy shit).
4. T-Hall's motivational speech to edollo before this years winter-x (I know you have it memorized)

(want to quote the seth morrison huge backie stomp but can't cause there's no text)

that's easily one of the most badass things ever done in history but the shot itself isn't amazing...personally i still vote for tanner's sw9 on chad's, the shot from across the valley is a classic but especially the shot from the lip is just gaaaaame

Wasn't the opening scene to The 86 done in one shot? If that counts it's got my vote.
In terms of photography I'd go with Thall's dick pick, so epic.
