I am new to this site and I was wundering who everybody thinks is the best pro snowboarder. I'm a big Shaun White fan and I have been even before he won many metals. (his hair is awesome.)
IAM A JP WALKER FAN BIG TIME HE KEEPS IT REAL AND DOWN TO EARTH HE DOESNT WANT SNOWBOARDING TO GO CORP I MEAN WHO WOULD GIVE UP A FULL SPONSORSHIP TO FORUM AND SPEACIAL BLEND BECAUSE THEY ARE TOO BIG OF A COMPANY AND THEY ARE OWNED BY BURTON NOW. JP WILL AND HAS CHANGED THE SPORT SO MUCH HE WILL DO AMAZING THINGS FOR STEPCHILD
I'm a big fan of Terje and Craig Kelly. I watch the Haakonsen Faktor at least once a week and I'm always stoked watching it. Come to think of it, it has really really early footage of Shaun White too. I've been getting more respect for that kid each time I watch him ride.
Shaun White has to be about the smoothest in resort freestye rider I have ever seen. That being said I would take Travice Rice and Big Mountain Jeremy Jones over him any day because I believe their ability to ride the steep and outbounds astounds.
Has any one had a chance to check out "Let it ride the craig kelly story" yet? What an awesome story about someone searching hard to find a good place in life. It is a must see and might change your mind about what makes a pro snowboarder worthy of your praise.
