3.) Seth Morrison/Jeremy Nobis. Big mountain pioneers. No more jump turns. Alaskan face pow 11s.

This. Especially Nobis,

Shane, Candide, and Plake would probably round out my top five

Jp Auclair

Mike Wilson

TJ Schiller

Phil Casabon

Jossi Wells

JF Cusson

Jonny Moseley

Seth Morrison

Andreas Håtveit

Sammy Carlson

Pollard

That was harder than I thought it would be. There are so many great skiers but some were just more influential. I didn't really want to put Wallish on there at first but he has had an insane following. Henrik was close to my top 5 as well.

 

[JoeMadDog]

1. Shane McConkey (by a mile)

2. Tanner Hall

3. Sarah Burke

4. Seth Morrison

T5. JP / Candide / E.Dollo

Tried to base this around progression of freeskiing, number of people inspired, and progression of technology... I'll get my nerd coat.

 

[bisiostyle]

Candide THOVEX PLS, first chads gap, first cork on dpwnrail, biggest jump la bertha candide invitational was the best event on the earth, linecatcher and fwt win easily with a broken back and x games domination !

 

[Frediboy94]

In no particular order:

-Jon Olsson, for making people realize that "newschool" doubles were actually possible to do

-Candide, for obvious reasons

-Tom Wallisch, for illustrating how easy tech tricks can actually be made to look. After he grew famous it seems as if steeze was taken to a whole other level across the board

-Harlaut for once again pushing the boundaries of what people thought was possible. I'm talking about forward and switch butters to multiple corks, dub sevens and huge spins early on

-Whoever was the first man alive to intentionally land or set a trick switch
