This guy has been in the game for so long and is still pushing the envelope on style. I think he's well underrated and not really sure why. Just been around too long maybe?

Lots of respect for his skiing, but he's definitely a try-hard in the lifestyle department. If he just pumped the brakes a little on the whole fashionista diva thing I think I'd like him more. But no he's not underrated.

jossi has always had severe knee issues. combine that with over a decade of prominence in freestyle skiing and numerous surgeries he was bound to peak. the man is still 23 though so dont count him out just yet

EVERYONE FUCKING RIPS OFF EVERYONE. Max hill ripped off snowbaorders who have been dressing like that for years, and his butters are a rip of of mike d back in the day. Who was the first person to hit a rail? Everyone is ripping their awesome underground style off. Fuck off jossi kills it, you don't understand freesking.

I used to really like Jossi, but then when he went into this whole hipster phase thing I began to not like him as much. I don't hate him, I just don't like him nearly as much as I did

I don't care about how many funny little hats he wears off the hill, that WOW 13 edit was straight ridiculous. All-time top 10.

He has always had questionable style. I remember seeing him in the skate park in Wanaka in 07 and he had the true lollipop style going on. Supper skinny jeans with a huge Parker jacket on top. To cap it off he had a Paris Hilton style dog under his arm. Sick skier though and his dad Bruce is awesome.

Oh I'm certainly not knocking his skiing, he's sick. I guess I just don't really like his style like you described it

Number of right side spins in that video: fucking zero.

Always disliked Jossi for that. Not that I don't think he kills it but he hardly ever spins unnatty.

I know he has sw right dub 10s now but I feel his right game isn't where it should be

i dont think he's underrated at all. in fact he's probably rated exactly what he should be, which is pretty fucking awesome and full of steeze.

I love how I was always wondering when Jossi was going to come back and destroy pipe again, and instead he just nonchalantly silvered euro x after seeming absent from comp the whole year. His run was so sick, and I just did not expect to come back to the comp scene in such a big way

In my opinion Jossi is one of the few skiers who's not underrated or overrated. He's been solid for years despite his nagging injuries.

He's sponsored by Nike and has participated numerous times in X Games, not to mention his many film parts/edits. He's not underrated...

It's not that Jossi is doing any new tricks, or laying down shit that most others cant do, it's how clean and smooth he does it. That's what keeps him in the game.

if anyone thinks jossi is underated you have no knowledge of skiing at all. He's BOSS. one of my favorites to watch for sure.
