just observing the threads about these guy this season and it tends to be that everybody loves them and i do to. now my question is that which does newschoolers likes the best. whos the most progressive, stylie, etc.. we should have a offical NS debate
 
i would have to say that the majority of newschoolers members like pollard the most.

but hey, thats just from what i see. dont hold me to it i could be completly wrong.
 
I really like pollard because his skiing is awesome but i also think hes taking line in the right direction and skiing as well, im no expert but considering he does the art for so much of lines skis i would think hes pretty high up there and is opening up a new kind of skiing with his 'idea' and influence together.
 
i'm reallly split between pep and eric. pep is more parkcentric, and pollard was the original no poles switch bc steeze master. who knows, they are both sick skiers.
 
probably pollard cause he is always pushin the envelope and changing his style and people follow his style i like how pep skis more of everything though.
 
Pep, He was the first person i saw in a ski movie when i started skiing a few years back i just loved his style and it just gets better hes always got solid movie parts to and we know he can throw down some big spins but hes doingit right now with the smaller much more steeze filled spins, I may even try and bite his style a bit when i ski
 
pep is soo damn good and always has been probably one of the originals of the backcountry movement. 180 off a 40 footer and a switch 5 thats bigger then anything done today all back in 1242. They are all really good but pep is defanatly the most rounded of the 3.
 
i like pep cuz he is so good at skiing and he can do any trick he wants nat or unnat.

he also rips big mountain and brings his park skills to the bc.
 
so hard to decide, no single one of them is clearly better than the others. theyre all equally talented IMO
 
Peps always been one of my faves he just so good at everything. So outta three I deff gotta pick him.
 
different style, man...vanular is pretty steezy but he's very park-oriented, while the three mentioned above are more my style, BC jibbing and messing around in the natural terrain.
 
I know Peps 1242 seg was so sick and progressive but I think his Hit List Seg was by far my favorite of his. I still havent seen idea but so far this is my favorite seg of his.
 
pollard, his innovation is alway years ahead, go watch his seg in RFA right now! you'll see a seg similar to stuff people try to put together now, but it will just ooze style way more than the imitators (which includes his idea counterparts), while pollard may not always have the most difficult tricks or toughest line, his outstanding style and eye for the future easily put him in front, especially combined with his ability to make switch pow look more natural than most people are skiing forward, no hand drags or flails.
 
Pep for sure. He has the amazing style, and crazy tricks.

As amazing as pollard's style is, his tricks are pretty repetitive.
 
I think Chris Benchetler needs to be on this list. He is the only guy that was added to "idea" film crew for this season and he easily had the best part in "yeah dude!!"
 
the MAIN crew. there are a few other people that ride for k2 and such that are in the crew and upcoming movies also, who also deserve some style points.
 
i love how there is no clear favorite in this thread but for me, its Pep for sure, homie kills it everywhere with tons of originality and style. i think hes probably the most tech of the 3 for sure too
