Who is the most overated freeskier?

How has no one said RORY SILVA yet?...that kid is such a hack and makes me puke in my mouth everytime I see him flailing around in the air. The kid has no steeze, and is definitly over-rated because he shouldn't be pro in the first place.
 
im gonna have to say jamie pierre is the most overrated skier. all he does is huck himself and hope he lands. he never even lands cleenly. ive seen JT Holmes throw a huge backflip and cleenly land on the same cliff that jamie pierre just hoped that hed land and then flopped on his side on landing.
 
Actually I do believe Jamie Pierre doesn't even try to land. It seems he is pretty content on landing on his back and letting all his gay padding take the impact.
 
are you talking about cnadide, because if so i must agree he is not overratted. he did an 810 with about a 40 foot gap to a rail with a grab on the spin perfectly
 
Tommy, you spin like broken washing machine!!

actually hes not overrated at all, more like severley underrated
 
please give a reason to why you think eric pollard is over rated and don't be a jackass by trying to stir things up on NS its very annoying...

And candide is NOT overrated that is just a ridiculous statment to be made.
 
If anyone on this site ever says candide is overrated again ill kill them, just think about his shots,

first d spin over chads,

huge mammoth cork 5

cork 810 to rail

huge step up cork9

ect

he created style and this sport
 
jon olsson

sure, he's a good rider, but he always stays within his comfort zone and doesnt seem to push that hard - example xgames superpipe...he could've thrown down like nobody's business...
 
well you mean in contests then... because, err... switch misty nine over chads is nothing to scoff at and hardly within anyones comfort zone. oh, and his bag of tricks is bigger than most everyones.
 
i can partially agree with that. droping cliffs doesnt take much skill, just balls. but in booter crunk, he skis some fairly hard lines in the bc. take a look
 
Tanner Hall........sick of his attitude.....his skiing.......and his movies.........Pop Yer Bottles sucked soo bad. Tanner your not black....your whiter then white...doing the whitest sport in the world........just stop.
 
yeah and candides "simple" 3 in war is only the nicest 3 I've ever seen and that 450 out of that deck rail was not to bad either....I cant believe someone actually said candide was overrated
 
Except that he does everything waaaay huge. His Unreal d-spin over chads gap was trick of the year and talked about for so long. The fukin massive cork 5 on that parkasaurus hip jump...everything he does is HUGE! That's what makes him so pro...he raised and continues to raise the bar for the size of jumps and the technical tricks you can throw over them.

He's not overrated, but maybe he just doesn't do the stuff you like to see. But for a kid like schiller see that someone pulled a 120ft dspin...he knows he can push it harder.

I guess that's similar to guys like jaime pierre...they push the limits of how big you can go in the backcountry.
 
oh...and don't forget candids cork 810 to rail...kid pushes it so hard it makes my stomach turn.
 
MICKAEL DESCHENAUX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He won one big air comp a few years back and thats it, he always does the same tricks, but everyone talks like he's the best thing that ever happened to skiing.
 
I hate you all... how can u be overrated on a sport compeletly based on preception... theres no stats in skiing... You rate someone on how much u like what there doing, so if someone is rated high its because alot of people like what they see, therefor there doing something right
 
ya n it was so ahead of it's time too! still one of the nicest sw 10's to date

the only reason he didnt win anything else is because he hasnt been competing
 
He won that comp 2 years in a row with a trick that could still win a big air comp today. Watch Royalty or Stereotype and say that again. He skied so far ahead of his time.
 
hahaha so true, i haven't evem seen pop yer bottlez but everything else in that is true. the only thing i give thall is that he progressed the sport a little bit, but dumont and others have taken over.
 
Tim Russel? I know people in my area (Where he grew up in NY) think he is jesus when really, he doesn't impress me much. (Sorry if that sounds stupid, just my opinion)
 
ok so far ive heard tanner, jon, simon, candide and pollard. ok do you fuckers realize there is NO ONE ON THIS PLANET better than these people.

simon - zero spin over an insane step up in whistler

22+ plus feet out of the pipe

jon - 9 to 9 to 10 in the xgames pipe last week

tanner- sw. 9 chads not to mention everything else this guy does

candide - 810 to rail and ever other insane thing this guys been doing since he was 15

pollard - wow. go shoot yourself

besides pep youve just named the best 5 names in skiing.
 
Man, Candide is sick. Are you forgetting he has a whole video on all the shit hes done. The tree jib the cork 800 on to rail. Without his creativity the game wouldnt be the same
 
very well put. and u cant forget about mahre's zero over chad's. and whoever said seth cuz he doesnt have a big bag of tricks. UR FUKIN STUPID he doenst need a big bag of tricks. hes a big mountain skier not a fukin park skier. seth fuking kills it.
