Dude Shannon Schad was badass and Smiley was pretty dope too but Skogen was fucking SICK, if he hadn't had that motocross accident I think he'd still be big on the scene, he was throwing sick rodeos both ways way before people were thinking about unnatural shit.

Oh come on, Shannon was doing it all too. He might not have had the technical prowess as Skogen, but the guy ripped it in park, pipe and BC, and was one of the best all around skiers at the time. I idolized those huge japan's he could do, and he was the first and still only person I know who did a japan to tweaked mute in a halfpipe.

Plus, he was missing a finger.

Szocs can frontflip just about anything you can get air off. Too bad he broke his leg and can't handle hardpack landings well anymore.

fair enough, he was a damned good all around skier and his huge japans were pretty sweet. I also liked his massive stalled out 3 mutes where he always looked right back at the camera and tweaked huge at 180. Plus like you said his finger was pretty gnarly.

smiley is a supermodel ski star. He arranged the soundtrack to Happy Happy. He also rocked out in Global Storming for all you pre-skimovie kids.

he does commercials and can be seen smiling in many whistlerblackcomb ads.
