he is a 100% shoe in for the reason of your other post...you've never heard of him, and he has solid next level urban, backcountry and park. he grabs in ways you cant even do in Jibbin' the game, and he makes it look like a unicorn prancing through a field of roses on a sunday afternoon.
Mike Mertion kills it soooo hard. He has the most unique and steezy grabs of any rider, he kills BC, and he slaughters urban. He is an unkown, and he is gonna make a huge appearance.
x games pipe will go to tanner, dumont will win one of the ski tour stops but i think that if hatveit starts going higher in the pipe he will kill it, also riddle and colby will be great
I vote Lj. And no one has mentioned Steve Stepp, hes getting and has gotten very good. ALso this kid named Leo is good. Dane Tudor slays, and lots of the big mountain skiers can have my children. OH and Ahmet and Tom and Will Wesson for jibbing of the year.
nick martini and moxham are both moving to summit county and are gonna get so filthy. i really like what casabon, aj kempanen and sean logan do on skis too.
I bet Matt Walker will have a good year too. He won the Aspen Open, He's really good on rails, and everything he has done with PBP and whatnot has been dope. Spong is amazing too, he can do everything both ways.
dude, i completely forgot about spong. after how horrible of a crash that kid had, and to come back and have the year he did last year is amazing in itself. he did right 7 and left 9 over the 80" transfer at schweitzer... that thing was scary big and he was the only one to hit it both ways. he should have done better at aspen open too. the kids style is amazing, and he is so young. spong is probably going to be one of the next big ones...
