Skiings equivalents in snowboarding, or vice versa I guess

[PopsicleStand]

Im not sure if the title was too ambiguous, i couldnt figure out how to word it. Im talking about which pro skiers are like which pro snowboarders. whenever me and the boarding homies watch ski or snowboard movies we always go, "oh yeah that looks like something tanner would totally do", "or oh man trice is just like that". to start ill give my best comparisons.
tom wallisch-->lucas magoon

i have more in my head but ill post em up when i get home.

 

[jblaski]

Shaun White = Tanner Hall

Travis Rice = Jon Olsson

 

[TheMajesticLife]

yah magooners got some sweet style

 

[Shlogan]

naa not jon and rice. i think tanner and rice are more comparable cuz they both shred the backcountry.

 

[Bepo]

magoon and twall is a really good one. but jon and trice? i don't think so. Tanner hall is def the closest in terms of all around domination, plus hes got the movie thing going too.

 

[Jacuse]

Mike Parillo = Eric Pollard

 

[jblaski]

I guess I compared Rice to Olsson as far as people progressing their sport

Jon: JOSS and Double flips

Rice: ^Natural Selection^ and triple flips

And THall and White as far as dominating their sport in contests and as the most recognizable for the general population (gapers)

bittner and wallisch i think is a better fit. wallisch isnt fucking grimy like magoon
