um, so mike nick can do a switch 5 and a switch 9.  what does that mean?  so can tanner, but he can do them in three ways, corked, flat (as in straight up, not a flatspin) and rodeo, all with different types of grabs.  i have only seen mike nick do them with safety grabs, and only semi corked sometimes.  sure they are pretty good, but if you are gonna use that as your basis to justify how you think mike nick is a better skier overall (or has more style for that matter) then you are obviously wrong.  sure style is an opinion, but tanner flais less than basically the rest of the ski community, he has a larger bag of tricks combined with more grabs than everyone else, and he is the pimp shit.  there is no reason to even drop him into a comparison like this.  shoulda been 'Rap vs Nick' or some shit.  give the poor guy (mike nick) a fighting chance...
