seriously though, his super unknown for this years finals was filmed LAST YEAR cause he was hurt this year, cant wait to see what this nikka throws down next year skiing at keystone and breck, prolly will contain kangaroos with grabs youve never seen with kangaroos. just dont talk about him too much so he stays superunknown. 450 on, 360 sw up, pretz 270 out??? what was that,like your second or third year skiing? he is arguably THE most talented park skier. give him props. no hate

^hopefully that works, if not im a gaper
 
rails were technical as all hell and really sick, mellow out the flailing around a bit and its money on rails. Jumps were lacking but what there was, was good. Nice.
 
False, 100 bucks says not only does tim mcchesney blow up, but he'll win superunknown.
 
No offense, but no way faturos will be next years big thing. To be that, you gotta be stylie...

How old is he though?

Next year though, I want to see one of the many sick alaskan skiers blow up.
 
gus kenoworthy is next years big thing, kid is sick, 540 switchups, kang flips and spins every which way. also look out for joss christianson, he's got hexos now.
 
Cal Runnerstrum (sp?) does all those pretzel variations and more (360 switch up, pretzel 4 out. Switch in, blind 360 switch up, pretzel 2 out...etc.) and he does them wayyy steezier and with skis that are as tall as he is...
 
he is like 23 and getting sooooo good...

this video doesn't do him any justice..2 years old and when he goes out west he will get so much better... kangaroo flips like whaaaaaa...
 
that vid was from his SECOND SEASON SKIING.

The vid is filmed in 16bi9 or some shit thats why the skis look so tiny watch the vid at like 1:23 when he does the switch 5, pause it once the skis get horizontal they look about a foot long haha
 
Big Ben is fresh as balls son. This edit doesnt do him justice, me and him went to the water ramps last summer and he was gettin rightside cork 9 blunts and kangaroo's with high mutes and shit, he would have taken superunkown easy if he didnt blow up his knee.

 
... i don't know how people could be hating on him. guarantee he is better than nearly all of the kids doing the hate. plus he was super technical and i thought he was actually pretty steezy in the video.
 
yeah, either kenworthy or tim mcsomething. both are super ridiculous but as far as urban goes (as nomensteven said) i dont think i remember seeing any in either vids. i might be way off tho haha i'll have to watch again
 
what im tryin to say man is that like others said..that was his 2 or 3rd season skiing period..when he goes out west his style is going to get real good.. that edit compared to his past edit his style is improving most defiantely..he rips theres no doubt and he will only get better..
 
If he can put some steeze in, he'll be all good. Right now as of that video, not so much, but like you said its an old video so hopefully he will improve style wise
 
Super tech, there is no question of that. It seems that the style gets lost in the technicality.

I know that those tricks are difficult, but to blow up these days you need to have a clean style to do so, and it just isn't there yet.

But if his style gets cleaned up, watch out.

 
Freakin amazing for 2nd year skiing. It'll take more than that to be "next year's big thing", though. But if this vid is old and he's gotten better, that could be sick.

Sure, the style on the boxes and rails isn't so amazing, but that'll probably come.

Give him some bigger jumps, too, and he'll be able to throw those tricks he's got with more style, too, so maybe he'll blow up. Who knows.
 
true, tim can do those tricks on grown up skis. he's got pretty solid stuff on rails both ways though so hopefully he's healthy next season so he can get some real skis and throw down.
 
yea I saw the kangaroos that you took with his phone haha. And yea he definately wouldve taken it this year if it wasnt for his knee
