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 had never heard of him until his KOS entry was top rated... Given that I think he is way under rated

JF Houle, Mike Mertion, and I understand he is injured and maybe that's why no one talks about him right now, but...

PK Hunder?

Will wesson, giray and ahmet seem to be underrated. They're all throwing sick shit and holding it up everywhere. I never hear bout giray, rarely will, sometimes ahmet but still not a whole lot.

Pollard.  Obviously doesn't spend much time in the park anymore, but he carries the same style he has in pow to the park.

Banks Gilberti, I'm not too sure what his rail game is like cos i haven't seen much of it but he slays jumps with unique tricks and as much style as anyone and has the best sw10 ever yet you never hear a thing about him.

Have you watched his old parts?  I'm not saying he's pushing the limits and boundries of park anymore, but people don't give him credit for having skills in the park.  Watch his bio edit thing in the bonus section of Happy Happy (if you have it/can find it).

Adam Delorme, for sure, he is probably my favorite park skier, such a sick part in refresh.

I dunno how famous these are outside of norway, but they seem kinda underrated: Aleksander Aurdal, Thomas Dølplass, Even Sigstad, Anders Backe, Gaute Silseth, Steffen Hamre, Sigbjørn Tveit, Klaus Finne etc.


Here are some of their KOS edits so u can see what they're all about

agreed. hands down one of the most talented skiers with some of the best style. i thought his KOS was real sick, he just didnt get in cause he didnt have a dub. kid needs way more recognition. also, steve stepp, basically the whole clown school, and adam delorme and joe schuster. pretty much every film skier is underrated in my opinion. dumont is WAAAY overrated. leigh powis, mike henituk, matt margetts, alexis godbout, Ced TF, Shea Flynn, the list goes on and on...

Delorme is a great call! Can't believe I forgot to mention him. His Refresh segment was insanely sick. AD murders.
