This is an interesting topic, but I will be 100% honest, I don't know as many boarder names as I do skiing ones. haha

I would honestly say Travis Rice/Candide I know both are hard to compare to anyone but both revolutionized thier sports in similar ways

Lol What?! I am very interested to learn how you think Candide and Mark are similar. Outside of X games multi discipline wins I am having a hard time making the connection.

IMO, T Rice is the only snowboarder you can relate to Candide. There are others that have done great things in snowboarding but T Rice has been honored for his riding at super park back when he was a young man, essentially invented a new trick (double back rodeo 10,12 grab switch), won several X games medals and then went on to be the first to really put some heat down into a lot of big mountain lines.

McMorris has done a lot of hard competition tricks and been on some bc trips. There is no comparison.

Stale Sandbech = Oystein Braten
Markus Cleveland = Nico Porteous
Rene Rinnekangas = Matej Svancer

That's because there are no snowboarders, just tourists riding snowboards.

Sorry, that was mean. I'm just old and salty af.
