i think we are asking rhetorical questions here. but ill give you the answer your looking for.
tom wallisch and henrik H are known around the freeski buisness and community as great skiers, and have very high popularity status's. they each competed in dew tour and joss, and atleast one of the two will be in x games next year im sure, and steve stepp does not comppete in these events, or really any large ones at all, and therefor does not get the same amount of recognition that skiers such as t wall and henrik do
