So I've been recently been watching lot of the Slope style,and a bit of halfpipe,building up to the Olympics,mainly on YouTube as I don't have Sky. But anyway as I want to get more involved in all aspects of snowboarding, started following Pro riders on twitter. Who's your favourite rider and why? I'm still digging around, TWsnowFILMS channel on YouTube is decent so getting an insight through that (they show lots of interviews and episodes with riders). What you guys think? Sage Kotsenburgh, Jamie Anderson and Jamie Vito all caught my eye. Love to get your guys opinion.

On pipe... Scotty Lago. Style. That's what it is.

On that Slopestyle thing, probably Mark Mcmorris... this one just because he looks so comfortable and a bit ahead everyone else. Some of "the other guys" which have been mentioned here maybe have better style. But Mark is killing it, and he's like 12.

On big freestyle/sort of freeride... Gigi Ruf. But Nico Muller very close.

Being a chick I usually just watch the girls events so like Jamie Anderson, Kjeersti Oaasgard Buejus or however you spell it and Kelly Clark can rip. I usually prefer "clean" style like smooth finesse even if the hits are not as big over like mad air flips that end up looking sloppy which is what you sometimes see when you watch the women... I guess I'm old school grew up with Barrett Christy, Shannon Dunn, and Tina being the main like female boarders I looked up to.

My three favorites would be Shaun Palmer, Terje, and T. Rice. The Palm was going strong back when I started riding (I'm old) and I really liked how free spirited he was which, to me, epitomized the snowboarding culture. Terje can just flat out rip anything and T. Rice is insane.
