FredyFerlhaha thought of doing that thread when I saw the underated one. There's a couple of skiers out there that whatever they'll put out they'll have a ton of upvotes. Like Mcveigh or Talkington, they're both really good, but they can put out an edit filmed in 5 runs without even trying and get 300 upvotes
brotoI don't think McVeigh is overrated... do you have any idea how difficult the shit he does is?

FredyFerlOh I'm aware that he does really hard stuff, but is it that hard anymore for him? He's for sure unique and doing his own thing, my point is whatever he puts out, people will go bananas. If I take some of my favorite skiers, I'm for sure hyped when they put something out, but I'm not always 100% stoked or amazed on their edit or part, sometimes yes, but to me, you got to have your own opinion, it can't be I'm a 100% hyped or not on that skier
CashmereCatYou pretty much just described henrik. Yeah what he does is different, but I feel like nose buttered tricks are given too many points in big air competitions.

gerptrumpitsniffAspen Spora. Anyone could be as good as that kid if they were given the same amount of opportunities he's given. i.e. red bull training camps, trips all around the world, skis at least 200 days a year etc.
ZMillerbest part is is that he doesn't really give a shit about comments on NS
_g-dog_Tom wallisch, he's good but gets way too much attention from the 12 year olds

Matthew_DenhamHave you ever tried to butter off a decent size jump? It's hard as fuck to have enough control of yourself after a nose butter to do it on a big jump imo. Now imagine doing that but going 80 plus feet and doing a triple. Fuck that.
CashmereCatI spin better out of butters than not. It helps me set it. I'll say it, I think henriks over rated. Don't get me wrong, I love his personality and skiing with him on the demo tour was unforgettable. I just think the butters are getting kinda stale

skeazlaurenThe reason butters are so highly awarded in big air comps is because no one else is doing them. There's only a few other pros who have them.
CashmereCatNo one else is doing what Vinny cash is doing, but his crazy shit is still awarded less points than the a trick henrik has done two years in a row without a grab
SkiingsnowI just think the butters are getting kinda stale
How do you feel about regular take offs?
skeazlaurenHenrik-Nose butter triple
Vinny-Double bio
Which one do you think is harder?

theabortionatorinb4 this turns into a jealousy/hate wagon.
