Spiggs needs to learn how to grab during his spins. Those videos he posts are painful to watch.

Spriggs is 16, he will learn to grab on the 9's and 10's in the pipe once he grows into his lanky body. He will be a huge force in the time to come. And yes, rookie of the year no doubt. He podiumed (3rd) at WSI Slopestyle and WSC Superpipe, and he finished 5th at the US Open Superpipe among other victories at the Core Comps.

I am very discouraged to the fact that the site adminster didn't look at my profile or ask before doing something like this. I may be new to this website but I have been skiing more then most of you.

There are a lot better 14 year olds out there. Tosh just soaks up Ninthwards glory, he got on the right team at the right time and now he is "hot shit". Spriggs should get it and if not him Spong should.

Personally I think Spong is better, I think more people would agree if they were witness to the air attack that he brought to Vail this year. He was better that almost all other competitors attending. He tried a switch 12 in slopestyle. What pro of any age tries that? Tosh gets a lot of attention here because Ninthward gets him a lot of exposure (which sometimes he mis-uses). So people talk him up just like any other pro. Spong on the other hand, has no sponsors that get him exposure that I know of, he uses snowboarding outerware for god's sake. So people praise him for a week or two and then forget him. So talk up Tosh all you want you are just further proving my point.

just wait till everyone sees dorey's part in safety meeting. the other day i saw him do a switch cork 5 off of a really big drop in the BC.....just wait for his part in safety meeting. he also won WSI superpipe, by the way. my vote goes to dorey.

yea props to spong for how he did in the Open, but besides those few tricks where else have you seen him. Russel has been killing it everywhere he goes.

This thread is about "the rookie of the year". Not guys that did well. Sammy Carlson and John Spriggs did more this year than any of the other kids mentioned. Yes, some of the other guys won a comp here or there. Sammy and Spriggs finished top 10 in almost every major event. As a competition skier, Spriggs killed it from pipe and slopestlye with podiums at World Superpipe Championships, WSI, Core Comps and top 5 at US Open. Sammy is going to have a breakthrough filming segment in addition to his great competition season. Both were relatively unknown until this year. the other kids you are mentioning are really good but no way can they be considered "rookie of the year". Spong is a bit behind the Carlson and Spriggs but had a great season.
I own you

what pro of that age does that? well alexis godbout was trying switch 1440s in the US open slope, and he's 14 too. that more than answers your question. also, he had an unreal season as far as the medium sized events go...i dont think he finished lower than 1st...won the cote obscur, won a bunch of ste sauveur events, and won all three jr events at the vermont open. siiiick year for alexis.
