well, there are tons or good skiiers out there, but who do YOU think is the most underated.

i feel that even though LJ strenio is pretty much a full pro, most people don't realize that he is throwing 3 kinds of dubs,

i know the list goes on and on, so lets hear who you think it is?
 
i feel charles gagnier is actually underrated, he kills it so hard and i think he deserves some more recognition. You could def put lj in that group maybe even andreas
 
SETH MORRISON!!!!

Fanboyism joking aside I would have to say Charles Gagnier (probably butchered his last name).
 
yeha andreas for sure, he pulled kangs either way, i was watching it at IF3 and i started cla[[ing really loud, but no on esle really appreciated how sick he is
 
wel CG was sick, but he kinda stopped doing well at comps, lik e2 or 3

years ago he came second in X games big air, with a sw 12 octograb, but

he has kinda dropped away :(

prob cause of his knee injury
 
thats cause ns nowadays is blind to anything but those two. i guess you could say his prime was a few years back but hes definitely not underrated. he did invent the octograb.
 
Ture.

Also, I guess it is also my fault cause I barely pay attention to park and am more a fan of Big Mountain skiers like McIntosh, Alosa, Morrison, Nobis, Hjor, and others.... to each their own though.
 
andreas has been throwing equally sick tricks spinning left and right for a loonng time, lj is definitely in there, finn anderson has sick style, im not sure if ive ever seen a full park edit of sage, but he also kills it and has amazing style
 
I loved his sw 12 octo from us open few years back... longest octo what i have ever seen...

its sad that he is not in big air comps yet... for me his 12 is better than todays dub cork 10 mute..
 
underrated? How can he be underrated when half of the threads on NS are saying how awesome he is and how sick his edits are.
 
MIKE MERTION! he has really creative grabs and really sick doubles. he had amazing shots in pretty good, but nobody seems to talk about him ever.
 
it depends on what you mean by underrated. some pros are well known and loved, but they get nowhere near the money they deserve. if thats your thinking, i would say lj. he's one of the top 10 rail and jumpers, plus he shreds pipe pretty hard, yet he still lives the life of a broke ski bum.
but in terms of progression that goes unnoticed, i would say its a tie between andreas and charles. andreas has been spinning both ways better than most people spin one way for a long time. i mean he did a right double 10 mute in reasons, that was when there were only a handful of people who could do that trick natural. he also murders urban, i mean he was doing pretzels on urban pretty much at the same time or before wallisch's superunknown, but for some reason people always credit wallisch with bringing pretzels into the game more. and charles invented a grab, does crazy rail tricks that were hated on a while ago, but now people can't get enough of it. plus he has always spun both ways really good too.
 
underrated, because kid has been killing it for years and only now is getting a bit of recognition, although happy people are starting to take notice.
 
JF Houle is technically one of if not the best rail skier. Spins every which way, has a bunch of cool double flips.
 
Andreas? Come on guys... His X-games gold and JOSS win say otherwise...

And LJ just got invited to KOS... dont get me wrong. I am a huge fan, but he is stepping into the lime light as we speak. LJ will get his.

I think Delorme deserves more credit. He is so much better than his level 1 footage shows. if you haven't seen him ski in person, then you don't know the half. It is like everything he does is in slow motion.
