that was absolutely terrible.1. Sam Hill - carving on ski's...jumping from corner to corner. Real upright back and knees pointed way out, looks like a turtle
2. Cedric Gracia - lush
3. Jared Graves - both dh and 4x skills, mad pump
4. Bryn Atkinson - real crouched/ leaned forward, emo, myspace
5. Andrew Neethling - greasy smooth style, hips hanging off to the side always. best unturndowns / style in the game.
6. Greg Minnaar - very rigid upper body, no body movement on the bike. does good whips/ has good style while not downhilling
7. Mick Hannah - short tasmanian devil, gaudy outfits, exploding energy, death stare, jesus freak
I haven't posted on here in months and bikenweed you're usually right on but this time I'm going to pull the flag. When Cedric is on it, no ones style or smoothness comes close. If it isn't obvious that he's burnt out on the competitive side of the sport and just trying to make a living then look again....Cedric is not smooth at all from what I've seen, he barges things way too fast and out of control, kind of like Fabien. He does jump well, and he has some amazing results, but there are definitely smoother guys around.
