I think Matej unicorn guy is going to explode. Kuura Koivisto is going to bring some heat too. I don’t know if he has the jump game that Matej has though.



I know I’m missing people here. What’s everyone’s thoughts?

If his pants were just slightly baggier people would be obsessed with him

Yeah I agree, if he gets triples he’ll start to blow up like crazy

Taisei Yamamoto's rail game is insane, and he has a really unique jumping style. Gen Fuji is also looking really good. Japan's snowboarders have been ridiculously good for a long time so it is cool to watch the skiers come up too.

I want to see Syrja in more big air comps too, his jumps in X games qualifiers last year were nuts.

Agreed. Now he needs a new sponsor though. Amer (being Finnish/Chinese now) will probably snatch him up and stick him on Armada or Atomic
powpatrolCan’t wait till Syrja is back

Yeah but only thing is he’s already 22. I didn’t realize that. He seems to have a lot of potential but it seems like it’s just him training all the time and never competing.
And yeah he can be a little cringe. His outerwear style is a little whack with all the bright colors

Hey let’s be nice let’s be nice and I’m a freshman. Sounds so bad now that I say it “I’m a freshman” only time I’d ever say that confidently

pretty sure kuura has both way triples, and he has done sw quad but so has matej. kuura is a lot more tech and consistent on rails compared to matej tho

I'm a big McEachran fan myself, I'm just saying that lots of people have huge boners for massive pants.

In like 5-10? He did a quad off a stock park line. He's already up and came, just needs some competitions to take place now.
