I know you said thats what you think, but this is what Level 1 thinks:
"When all was said and done, Nick Martini had produced the most technical, well rounded, and arguably most outright impressive video, but Jon Brogan's smooth and unique style, and the fact that he embodies everything that the Superunknown contest stands for, put him over the top."
I know it's reading between the lines, but what I take "embodies everything that the Superunknown contest stands for" to mean that Jon was truly unknown. I don't understand why else they wouldn't want the most well-rounded skier to win.
