Cool thread idea. This stuff changes for me day to day though. There's too many factors to anyone's skiing to give a definitive answer; no one is clearly "the best". I'll take a stab anyway though.

Favorite video part would have to be someone's part in a movie, and most illegal trick would be a trick that you find wack
