title says it all:
Gus's rails (sw ups, sw ups, pretzel 450's, 360 sw ups, pretzel 360 sw ups)?LJ's rails (sw up to misty off)Wallisch's rails (just like Gus but done with style)Andy Parry's rails (50-50 combos and weird crazy grinds)B-DOG's rails (presses, bluntslides, grabbing while grinding, 50-50s, sw 50-50s, surface sw ups, trannys, etc.)JF Houle's rails (nosebutters, nosebutter 4's, nosebutter 810's, 450 on 270 out, etc)
?????
 
purely creative jibbing => TC crew
best flow/style but not realy "jibbing":Hornbeck, Brogan, delorme ......
 
I enjoy watching it all, every style has creativity, weather it be Andy's hippie killers, or Tom's disaster over the bridge walkway in Helsinki.
 
None of the above.

Switch ups are cool, but the truly impressive shit, to me anyways, are the gnarley rails and jibs. The stuff thats so long, technically challengin or high consequence that its enough just to clear it or grease it. We had this back in the early days (Mike Nick on that C rail, Pollards back 270 off the cornice rail at Hood, etc), and it does show up rarely today, but nobody has taken the charge in just finding and stomping big stuff... thats what I wanna see. In my mind, Frank Raymond is the only guy that comes to mind that might be considered a leader here, and if you've seen Arena, we have some catching up to do compared to what snowboarders are doing.
 
FIZZLE FLIPS!!!!!!!!!!!!

LOOSE CANON (skiboards) PLAYAZ foreeeeeverrrrrrr. Canada what what! They might have been in a gang, it might have just been the Boy Scouts, but they might not have earned their merit badges. Uuuuggggghhhhhh!
 
I like to see the banger tricks stomped on urban rails. Proves just how on point the skier is when they can still do their park tricks on gnarly handrails
 
What about stept, they do a lot of high consequence gnarly jibbing?

I like that too. I also like the Nipwitz and Gpsy Feelin approach of hitting big stuff on the streets with a creative style.

My favourite out of the list is probably b-dog closely followed by andy parry though.
 
I have seen Gus do some sick stuff on rails...like an up rail on a stairway that he did like a rodeo 9 off of. It was soooo sick
 
I think JF houle is one of the most underrated skiers, he is so fucking sick at everything, jumps rails you name it. So I like his style and probably Casabon just cuz he is crazy
 
stept dude, they've got a ways to go but they're doing big things that most other skiers aren't.

i wanna see less cheater jump-ons in urban. people should abide by the old rule of no taller than 1 stair. a rail loses half it's credibility when your jump is half as tall as the rail itself.
 
You're all wrong, unless someone said backcountry jibbing and I didn't see it.

Nimbus type stuff, tree taps, bonks, all on natural features or pow kickers
 
Stept would have blown your mind if the weather had cooperated...we set up a shooter rail 15 feet off the "ground" into a tree with a 40 foot gap to the landing...unfortunately they only had a one day window and the weather didn't work out.

But this is what I like to watch:
