BEST 3 street skiers EVER ???? you're asking ME???? To put it lightly, there are no BEST 3 street skiers; that would mean that the person in the #1 slot could do everything. I think that you got the question all TWISTED OP. Asking the wrong question renders every answer basically MEANINGLESS. Im gonna reword the question. IM gonna give you MY top 3 most INFLUENTIAL street skiers. (STILL subjective, but maybe just maybe it will provide some more gaugeable answers) I'm gonna give you answers from what IVE SEEN. This will range from the years 2007- present.. the years I have followed street skiing. WE definitely will NEED some OLD HEADS in hear to say who been most holding it down since the sport's cultivation in the late 90's. I'm sure they will be able to reference some of the sports TRUE OG's who really showed the people WHATS UP and got the shit
swinging like a pendulum.
SO from 2007-PRESENT
IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER
-PARKER WHITE
THIS DUDE CRAZY... the masses may overlook him. .. BUT FOR FACTIES he holds shit down. Mr. WHITE was considering QUADS before Triples had even graced the lime light. CHECK THE VID FOR REFERENCE. for this reason I gotta say PARKER was really holding down as a
TOP SKIING INFLUENCER.
NEXT UP
-WILL WESSON
I gotta say.... for the mid 2000's- this dude's TECHNICALITY was off the charts. dude is a machine, a straight BEHEMOTH no doubt. YES ILL SAY IT, this man is lacking in style. BUT, he makes up for it with some straight MIND BENDING rail precision that really got the BALL ROLLING. Will Wesson and his traveling circus compadres brought CREATIVITY and AGILITY to the forefront of skiing and no doubt INSPIRED many of today's STYLE GODS.
So, let me throw a SIDE NOTE at you FUCKS. While you're sitting on your couch drinking Kool AID HATING on people pushing the LIMITS OF OUR SPORT throwing mind bending technical tricks which might SLIGHTLY lack style... LEMME tell you.. SOME CRAZY FUCK WILL THROW THAT SAME TRICK WITH AN UNQUANTIFIABLE AMOUNT OF STYLE MAYBE NO LESS THAN A YEAR LATER AND IT WAS ALL BECAUSSE SOMEONE DID IT WITHOUT STYLE FIRST SO SIT THE FUCK DOWN CHARLIE.
OKAY HERE IS MY FINAL SUBMISSION FOR TOP 3 INFLUENTIAL SKIERS (obviously my list could go on but this is the sad state of this thread. we are only allowed to post 3. im really sorry to everyone I didn't mention.)
-BMAC,,,,
ya I said it. this dude KILLS SHIT. Sure.. He may not be thinking about QUADS like our dude Parker white I mentioned previously. In fact, BMAC may NOT BE THINKING AT ALL. He is in eternal FLOW STATE. He does whatever THE FUCK HE WANTs and is not afraid to invent tricks WILLY NILLY. BMAC might be seen as our sports AANTICHRIST and for good reason. Dude has quite possibly CHANGED THE ENTIRE GAME and I do not say that lightly. MANY WILL HATE on "new wave swerving" ( as you grumpy middle aged whiner baby fucks put it). BUT the fFACt is everyone who is BIG is doing it now and BMAC played an outright HEAVY roll in the NOWAVE's provenance. Thanks to BMAC and his BUNCH counterpart's, skiers all over the world are going out and trying NU SHIT not giving a fuck what happens. BMAC and his bunch buddies EVOLVED skiing from being some FLEX activity for delinquents to being a MINDFUL FLEX activity where one CAN TAP INTO THE ETERNAL CONSCIOUSNESS AND straight ZOOM FOR HOURS whilst pushing the limits of our ever evolving and beautiful sport.
PEACE AND LOVE,
