Who is the "toughest" street skier?

Just watched all the parts to Mutiny and I gotta say, Shea Flynn sounds like a tank crashing when he slams but gets up to do it again. Same with Dom Leporte and Clayton Vila from what I've seen.

Its pretty important to be tough if you want to take street skiing seriously which is why I brought it up. Some people just can't hang when it comes down to getting the shot after a few hard slams.

Also "tough" is pretty hard to define when it comes to skiing so its not about who can take the most pain, but who can slam hard or get beat up and still get the shot.

Charlie Owens gets broke in like every Stept movie and he still puts out banger segments.

He tore his ACL in Mutiny, broke both arms filming for The 86 (maybe it was Weight), Slammed his ribcage in 10 and 2, and broke his neck 2 years ago. I'm pretty sure he has retired from urban, but he still shreds.
 
Tim McChesney has taken some gnarly bails in some of the more recent level 1 movies. I havent seen pleasure yet though...

Still gonna give it to the Stept guys, but Tim is worth mentioning here
 
Came to say Shea Flynn but y'all beat me to it. Jesper Tjader has some super gnarly crashs in his street segments but still usually gets the shot.
 
Amhet for sure. Guy gets beat up and comes back untill he gets it in partly cloudy.
 
Pretty much all the stept guys have taken some huge urban crashes and always recovered pretty well. They throw tantrums when it happens to haha.
 
If you're talking the ability to eat shit and keep trying, Ahmet. I've never seen or heard of him walking away from a feature he'd been hitting without a shot unless he couldn't walk.

If you're talking about who can fight, Darhkness (he used to hit handrails) and I've heard Karl can scrap.

just to speak more on ahmet. I can verify that as well as attest to him not being able to walk after coming up short on a huge urban gap (2nd time at the spot), taking 2 weeks to heal and going back to that spot for the 3rd time.
 
Sarah Burke is the toughest female that was hitting the street.

I cant decide at all on the guys side. Anyone doing that stuff has to be tough as fuck. Could not even start naming them
 
surprised no one has mentioned phil and henrik. They've likely hit more urban features than most of the others mentioned and have also had some gnarly wrecks in the process. They're both just so good that the don't wreck as much as some of the other names mentioned in this thread but they've definitely taken some big bails and got back up until they got the shots
