Seems like the top 4 guys to me. With all the summer edits he produced, I give it to Torin.

Who ever can future spin better so they can go forward in time and poke holes in the other competitors condoms so it sidetracks their careers in skiing and bam...gold podium.

If you're asking this in terms of style, why the hell are you even asking?

The answer lies in the man who keeps it snazzy with his pooch.

What does the number of summer edits posed have to do with the style of a skier?

But Bobby....and...and Red Bull....and triplez!

Yes, it's Tom. I'd say for second place would go to Russ, he's a beast

I know it's cliche but id say tom wallisch...he's got the style..Torin is sick but he's not so much as an all aroudn skier..Then theres tom on the other hand where he does backcountry park and hes not terrible in pipe...just my 2cents

Im going to agree here. You can't put the king of afterbang in with these guys. Tom is all around a better stylie comp skier.

One thing to say, gus is a great skier all around. He is good in slope, big air, and not to shabby in the pipe. Then after all the comps he still puts out a great edit with some good urban. He still has his own style when he is not in comps, I'm not saying he is the best in comps but he does do pretty good all around.

Not Bobby.

Tom Wallisch's style in 2009 when he won 1st at Dew Tour at Northstar...
Torin's pipe style is so sick. The double alley oop flatspin that got him 2nd in x was too clean and so stylish.
Gus's jump game is insanity too.

i think woodsy deserves to be thrown in there. Otherwise Wallisch who stomps everything and ABM who is so creative

Out of those 4, I would have to say Gus. He tries the gnarliest tricks out of the 4 all while doing all 3 events! (Maybe Torin is better at pipe tho!)

He gets labeled as a pipe jock, but his all around skiing is really sick

I have always thought this was one of the most stylish slope style runs of all time.
