The Mik D steeziest title

Alright, so I just got Wski from netflix (super dissapointment btw), and while Mikeal only skied for about half of his segment, I noticed that there are two dudes skiing right now who follow up on his steeze - Laurent Favre (switch approach to US Open jump) and Travis Heed (stand-up steeze on rails).
Since we're seeing less and less of Mik D, who do you guys think will get the title? Lolo or THeed?

laurent, because he does comps so he will actually get more and more exposure.

figment, stop being such a bot. T Heed has a BOT hack that is way ahead of anything else out there....either he's brilliant or has a time machine because that is one damn good hack.

First off, Wski was a sick movie i dont see how you are disappointed in it.

Secondly, Favres a jumper, Heeds a rail skier basically so kind of hard to compare(both have amazing style unique to each own)

It was just too short, and I didn't think the skiing was too epic, the mood was kinda slow and it the movie never really got going with a good rythm. And I wanted to see a complete Mikeal segment really bad. Plus I had been looking forward to seeing it since it came out, so the anticipation killed it for me, I'm sure.

I agree completely with your second point, I'm just wondering which one will achieve the kind of cult-following that Mik has inspired.

Vanular is more of a DC with Mik influences. Tech and steezy, you know?

Alright, the thing with Vanular is this - he is obviously the most dominant tech rail skier that maybe we've ever seen (Gagnier is close...). He's also super stylie and can dominate pipe and park as well.
But he's not stylie in the same way as Mik D. The biggest spin I've ever seen Mikeal to onto a rail is a 270, which differs quite a bit from Vanular's flat810. Whereas Vanular's focus seems to be fusing tech with style (like THall kind of), Mik's focus is just to be as big of a steezebot as possible.
Plus Corey doesn't have that whole fake-gangsta (not hating) image going on, which both Lolo and Heed do.

they are both good in their respective fields, cant really compare the two unless suddenly lolo starts doing rails all the time and THeed starts doing insane jumps
