this thread is just for some thoughtful discussion on which ski pros have a mountain bike pro equivalent.

I’ll start:
Graham Agassiz= Crazy Karl
why?:
-beard
- they both are free ride af
- I would have said that Evil bikes are comparable to on3p skis but now that Karl rides K2s idk

anyone else?

Kyle Straight === Simon Dumont
Brian Lopes === Tom Wallish
Paul Basagoitia === Charley Ager


Also for movies:

The Collective === The Idea

Also fun fact- This is a photo of me under Darren's infamous 360 drop at crankworks:

He’s doing intermediate bmx tricks on a mtb.

It’s definitely unique so I guess I’m technically wrong.

Still kind of mid style tbh

Because there’s a massive variety of styles in skiing.

Mountain bikers ride linear trails that can only be ridden one way. So the challenge is who can go the fastest not who looks the st33ziest.
