Blake would have gotten my vote because he’s clearly better, but he doesn’t wear 1 piece leather suits while he’s snowboarding. Shaun White it is.

I’m bored of seeing one-hit-heaters. I want to see shots where they hit 7 features in a row and destroy them all. Blake did have some cool double grabs though.

both cats are good, Blake a little more so, but because grabbing tindy is always cooler (which these guys clearly dont know) Shaun wins once again.

but yeah, I think Spencer had better tricks, but I liked Blakes high-paced, no-artsy-shots, more urban edit more

This is a case of style over technical tricks. The coaches that made these edits must be real proud. Shaun White is the clear choice here

Maybe you should learn how to hit a rail before going straight for the dubs. Just a suggestion…
