ESPN top 20 X Games skiers of all time

Ok, that list has the right athletes, but not in the right order. Tanner should arguably be no.1, Simon, Henrik and Candide should definitely be higher up, and Gus should be lower on the list (the guy has never even won XG-gold, right?)
 
Boom

These lists are put together by people who do not follow the sport, but have read a bunch of reports put out by NBC or Epic or somebody putting on the live event. This list was compiled by somebody who probably has an incredible knowledge of skateboarding or BMX or maybe snowboarding. This person and his supervisor are not skiers. None of the showrunners for any of the big ski comps are skiers. Take this list as such.
 
Sounds about par for the course

These types of lists are made to be politically correct. While sildaru may dominate the women's events, she doesn't hold a candle to the men. And obviously Gus will be higher than he is supposed to be cuz he's gay, yet I think he is raw as shit and might deserve the spot he got.
 
Why was Kelly Sildaru #1? I get she is really good for her age but henrik, dumont, and tanner are easily soooo much better than her.
 
I think lists are created to stir up controversy and get people talking. If so it seems to work. I think it's rare that people say "Wow, that's a really good list, I agree with almost everything!".

Usually it just starts a shitstorm.
 
They’ve butchered this so hard. You guys have pointed out the major issues.

Gus and Kelly haven’t done enough to be so high (serious that Gus has never won gold?)

Candide has won all disciplines

Tanner/Dumont the most epic rivalry
 
Actually im the best skier in the world.

I got a sex change operation and am a girl now.

The other day i did a penciled out switch 12 with my arms flailing all over the place. Obviously you cant judge me against the boys, bc im not a boy. Even the physical impressiveness of my pencil 12 cant compare to what even the 100th best male skier in the world is doing, but muh girlpower doesnt care about that. Girlpower says im a fabulous skier and much better than candide thovex, who barely made it on the list.

As an aside, i think ppl should know serena and venus played a set each agains the 204th ranked mens tennis player after he had spent a day drinking and playing golf, and lost 6-0 6-1 to him.

If you want a fair list, youre gonna have to have a mens list and a womens list.

Amelia airheart should in no way be considered a better astronaut than neil armstrong, just because she was a girl.

Also, if you know 3rd grade sports physiology, you will know that for a 90 pound kelly sildaru to be able to absorb a big impact isnt nearly as much a feat of strength as it is for a 210 pound hatveit to absorb the same impact. Almost any kid with fairly good coordination can become very good at a sport where being light on your feet is an asset. Its the same reason why sheckler used to win x games and now can hardly stand on a board.

You tools at espn are humongous cucks. No offense, but you know as much about sports physiology as a turkey sandwich.

Dumont should easily be in the Top 5 - no question there. Henrik and Candide should be Top 5, too.

Tanner Hall easily deserves to be #1.

Sarah Burke deserves to be Top 5, too.

Otherwise, all those others are completely mis-ranked. This list is lame.

Kelly Sildaru at #2? Are you kidding me?
 
Gus is not #5 and Candide is not #19. Switch those two around and the list doesn't become good but slightly better.
 
Pay ESPN little mind, just because they set the stage for the best doesn't mean they're competent to rank them. Henrik, Simon, Candide all need to be higher. Should honestly do two lists for male and female. Comparing the two sexes in the sport of skiing is cringe-worthy.
 
It s funny, because espn would never put some girl ahead of michael jordan and kobe on some “best bball players of all time” list.

Its funny how they think they skiing community is a bunch of liberal pc fuckstains, and they can pull one over on us. You espn tools obv dont respect the freesking community, so literally go climb back into your mothers ass you fucking losers.
 
Also, cant wait till kelly sildaru goes to uni and freshman 15s up to 160 pounds. Then we will see what the second best skier of all time can choke us - i mean show us...
