Chris's looked way better, yeah sure torin's a better skier but he was flailing all over the place and Lakers looked much smoother, plus he 'banged so hard Russia felt it and started a war.

torins is pretty hard to tell if it goes off axis twice but lakers definitely dubs, both are real sick regardless

not sure how torins was flaily at all but i agree with the criticism that it was hardly a double, overall id say Torin

Jesper's wasn't nearly as "inverted" as Chris's, but it was grabbed.

I'll vote Lakers

Why does everyone always leave Henrik out of this? He pioneered this trick, look at X games big air from 2 years ago, I still think it's the sickest one I've seen

Torin is a better skier than laker?
where is all this shit coming from? I wouldnt say either of the two is better or worse, but i still think torin still needs a couple of years to catch up to laker. Why is torin better?

Torins was sick forsure, but chris pulling it around on that small jump with the super inverted flats and the banger landing was way sicker. You can also tell by the wallisch hype on that trick haha.

Defiantly liked lakers more then TYW due to how you could easily tell that it was a dub flat 12. When you watch torins (not that it's bad it's fucking sick) it doesn't look very duoble. You can tell he goes off axis but not to the extent that laker did

Torin went huge, but I have to give it to Chris for stepping up on an average sized park jump and throwing that down.

You did it! haha.


Laker's for reference as well.

https://www.newschoolers.com/watch/695892.0/Chris-Laker---Dub-Flat-12

I gotta go with Chris on this one. Torin's was sick, but the second flat didn't stay flat for long at all, where are Chris' looks like he's doing a rodeo 9 with the flat 3 in front of it. Hopefully Cheddar does one soon and shows everyone how to spin after a rodeo, haha.

I liked both of them for different reasons. Torins was a lot cleaner in the landing and looked super sick but wasnt that flippy, Lakers was super obvious that it was a double and was also really sick.
