Watching the video of his run from Dew Tour again today, and I just wanted give a shout out to Jossi Wells for overall being a fucking unbelievably badass skier.

I mean look at this shit:

He dominated the course that way. As well, he did it without doing stunty gimmick shit... he just fucking dominated the place with technical mastery and unbelievable style.

That's what I love about him. The guy goes into contests, and will do the triples to win the cash, but will also just drop a zero because he doesn't give a fuck.

Probably one of the nicest guys in the game too, super humble and positive every time I meet him. Best style in the game, one of the most tech skiers in the game, and just all around boss.

Whats your favorite Jossi Trick?

favorite has to be his zero's, inspired me to finally learn them years ago. Also love watching his pipe runs and his floaty cork 5's. Never met him, but always smiling and gotta love that!
 
At first it kind of surprised me how ruthless he was against his brother in the slvsh game but then I realized the four of them must be so competitive in order to push each other so much. That being said, I still got a kick out of it.

Also, this thread is nothing without his wife. Between the two of them... can you say #goals?
 
I really like his switch double corks. Genuine corks and beautifully spaced. A great example is found in the Whistler segment in The Hit List

He takes it to 1440 too sometimes and it looks so easy, like in old JOI days and also at Winter X, like the year when Bobby won with 100 and TJ Schiller did the dub 16
 
I've been following skiing since like 2008 and I have come to the conclusion that Jossi Wells is the greatest skier in history. This man has the cleanest style, most creative eye for utilization of jibs, some of the most technical and difficult tricks in the bag, and trademarked the zero spin.

This man can do triples, zeroes, or even simply grind a rail and of all the Jossi edits I've seen he's rolled the windows down maybe twice?? This man has X games and Dew Tour medals in every event in skiing. In every aspect of skiing he slays with complete composure and confidence. Only criticism I have of him is that he cut his hair. But in all honesty I don't think skiers like Tom or Gus or Henrick (Before you comment just remember Henrick has never won a medal in pipe) or B-Dog or TJ or Simon or Brogan or Sammy or Bobby can be compared to him. He's just too good at everything and even if you don't agree, I know everyone has some high respect for this legend. If you made it this far thanks for reading my Jossi vent.

Greatest Skier in history is pushing it a little but he is damn good.
 
He's gonna have to bag some FWT/FWQ podiums before you can call him the greatest skier ever.

He's slayed slope/bigair/pipe and even a bit of urban for a looong time though, and all while doing it with such a proper style; his hard carve dubs are fucking insane.

This thread needs more edits:

I don't think the man needs any more cash.

And for that, I respect his commitment to developing the culture, perhaps, while others have to toss spin2win triples to keep their sponsors and wallet happy.
