Mt Rushmore of Style

bennwithtwonshowdy gang,

curious to hear about your personal style heroes- since it is so hard to pick a single skier, here is my mt rushmore:

dave crichton - his early 2000s movie segments blew our minds. still some of my favorites to this day
tom wallisch - he really changed the game when it came to smooth landings. his bag of tricks was bananas too
dale talkington - dude just epitomizes style in my opinion. probably my top pick from a pure stylistic perspective
torin yater-wallace - these days he's like the dale of the backcountry. could watch him ski all day

handrailshurtSteep Steep, 74yordy, and Taner Blaky

Voyage86don’t throw yordy in with steep steep, he’s actuly a sick skier

handrailshurtso is steepsteep 🤷‍♀️

JalmarKalmarMax Palm(Best freeride style after finn)

snowfinderMickael Deschenaux, Eric Pollard, Tom Wallisch, Phil Casabon

Farmville420Brogan, Mickael, carney, and Leigh powis

Voyage86agreed but his backies get canceled out with all of his phrases that make me want to rip my hair out

SlushSeasonI think this list has to be 4 guys with either very different styles or different areas of skiing
Id go with Jake Mageau, Andrew Pollard, Hunter Hess, and the 14 year old mogul skier i saw at Sun Valley that threw a cork 7 when everyone else in his division did backflips or 3s

AndrewGravesSVthese two lists are based.

Its so hard just picking 4 cause it always feels like you snub someone.

Wallisch, Pollard, Delorme, Clayton Vila for me


Gotta give a shoutout to Max Hill though cause i still havent seen butters like his or tighter pants. Travis Heed an og as well

SlushSeasonBut he's not even the best Swedish freeride skier! Double backflips are cool, but Turdell is overall a much better freeride skier

handrailshurtyou just called a backflip a backie i’m ripping hair out over here😭😭😭😭

Farmville420I was gonna say max hill but in terms of influence there have been maybe 5 dudes to ever rock skinny jeans and tight jackets so I left him off. If we are talking best styles ever I'd put Max Hill first though

BLandzDon’t get me wrong, the OG’s are sick in their own ways and definitely paved the way but the new gen can’t be touched in terms of style. The kits are better, the trick selection is better, and the overall swag is just unmatched these days imo

Jesus I wanna shoutout like 100 dudes rn theres so many killers out there

Farmville420yeah dude obviously, but these are usually about the OG's. George Washington's dumbass probably couldn't operate a baretta but for his time he was like the best military commander in the nation and thats why he has his face on a rock

If we doing best of all time thats a way different question and I probably agree with who you listed
