Watching Gus try all the new wave fuego would be very entertaining. I think Mango could keep up with the comp jock tricks too. He used to be on the US freeski team for super pipe.

Honestly Gus is technical enough that he could probably improvise the swerve, he’s got like everything in his bag

I had 0 idea mango was on the pipe team that’s so ill!!!!! As far as the game goes I think it would be close but Gus would take it in the end like 5 to 4, just because he’s a bit more tech (I think mango is an insane mix of style and tech though)

to play devils advocate, I think it might actually depend on park. Like gus would probably crush at like keystone, but like a sierra at tahoe maybe mango. Mango is seriously a freak given I think all his yoga stuff, but Gus is also obviously top athlete for sure. Might kinda depend on just who gets that first set. If mango was going hard, he could drop some sort of press flip, and i sorta doubt that gus could come up with that on the fly. Realize that's like one letter, but i think mango would have a chance in certain circumstances

all very impressive stuff, especially that dub 12 nose once he got it good :o!

I was more referring to the sierra at tahoe park ive seen in past slvsh games tho or a park with a lot of transitions and stuff, maybe the kimbosessions park if mango got a hang of that "anti-gravity zone" knuckle

It depends on how good of a sportsman gus wants to be. He could pull a colby (vs vinny) and call technical unnat everything and win easily. He probably wouldn't, but it's different playing to win and playing for fun which varies from match to match. Mango has amazing style and more difficult to produce low-fi tricks but gus can probably cover that more easily than mango could cover the tech.

Both are impressive in their own way.

I don't think it would be one-sided at all. Mango has a lot of unique tricks. Also I think people would underestimate him the same way they underestimated quinn wolferman in slvsh. My bet is that he'd surprise a lot of people if the match ever happened
