I've been wanting to make this thread for a while & finally have. there are a lot of skiers that get less credit than they should be given. post links to edits of people you think should be more recognized. I've been watching Justin Bellas's edits & they're all fire https://www.newschoolers.com/videos/watch/821803/Justin-Bellas-15-16
your turn
I could watch Jake Carney ski all day
Queen_SelassieI could watch Jake Carney ski all day
I don't know, he has been hyped up by everybody and their cat this past season.
Fredrik Green has one of the sickest styles out, yet nobody know's who he is
Everyone loves Vanular, Rainville, Carney, and most of the others mentioned here. I feel like they constantly get hyped on NS, for good reason, so you can't call them underrated.
I actually feel like Jesper Tjader doesn't get the respect he deserves, probably because his style and vibe are a littler mainstream. I think that laid-out dub 10 he did in Supervention was the probably the scariest, most awe-inspiring trick I've ever seen. Don't see a lot of people talking about him. He should do a quad haha.

WTF? I almost never see T-Rains' name on this site.
One skier I think that gets less credit than deserved is that fricking wacko from Ruka Elias Syrja. I think we need answers about how he didnt even get into at least the semi finals of superunkown with his edit. He does a lot of tricks most cant do with one leg crossed over the other. Even if you're not into that 'rollerblading-esque' stuff he has really smoth doubles and even pregrabbed both noses into a frontflip off of a 45+ foot jump in that edit. I have only seen that done one other time and I think it was Sami Ortileb off a 10 foot pillow in which I think he rolled on his back for part of it.
Having said that, Sami Ortileb I feel is also pretty slept on. His wizardry combined with all mountain prowess is unique for sure.

I came here to say this. He is getting more popular now, but he has been throwing some really technical creative and huge tricks ever since he was in Being There, and yet he still has gotten labeled as just another spin to win comp skier.

I believe all of NS has been watching jake carney all day.
I'll say zam matchett for most underrated.

the simple edits are literally the hottest thing in skiing right now/one of the most upvoted edits of all time, so I'm pretty damn sure he is not underrated. at all.
