If you could ride like a pro…

I’m a big fan of Shaun White but I never see him riding big mountain or pow. The kid is too busy, I want to be more of a bum.  raspberry

Have you watch first descent Jeremy? You can see shaun shred AK in that movie. And in it’s always snowing somewhere (I think), there’s a short section where he’s shredding pow in Revelstoke if i’m not mistaken.

Yeah, I’ve seen First Descent. I was going to mention it but decided not to. You could tell he was very new to big mountain riding but that was more than 5 years ago. Someone with Shaun’s skills should get out there more often!

Yeah, that movie really showed the difference between him and a guy like Terje!!!!!

After watching more snowboarding movies, I think I have to say just for riding down the mountain making turns, doing lines, getting air here and there (not too worried about tricks) I would have to say Terje. He makes riding big lines look effortless, has insane board control, and in my opinion has the best pow turn in snowboarding. But in terms of creativity, vision, doing tricks of natural feature I want to ride like Nico.

you and I think very much alike on this matter, skip!

oh this hard because I think a lot of pros bring some thing different. I would have to say Halldor but Bode Merrill has a nice style. Jeremy Jones has such a high motivation for street and that wall ride he throws down is craze.

Eric Jackson, watch good look.. he looks like he is having the most fun I have ever seen a boarder have!!  And that’s why I love it.. freedom and having an awesome time!!

chalk me up for a bode merrill at the moment, but it all seems to depend on who im watching in vids at the time
