Yobeat’s Top 10 Snowboarders of All Time

toptenboardersmain

We here are Yobeat are sort of snowboard nerds (in case you weren’t sure.) We all really live for this shit. And accordingly, our ears perked right up when we heard the soothing voice of Ed from Buoloco asking TRice who his top 10 boarders are. Now the news section on this site is I feel, an unappreciated gem, and it’s frequented almost exclusively by old people such as myself (read: 30+) so the lists it has spawned reflect that. However, I wanted to bring it to the greater Yobeat population with this here feature, because it’s a heavy question and it’s very interesting to see all the different answers. Since we all know you care so much about our opinion, here are the staff of Yobeat’s picks:

  1. Satan

    ANY trick is a legit trick you twat(unless it’s tindy or tailfish). Creativity and having fun are the two most important parts of snowboarding and you’re hating on that?! He’s a huge influence to today’s up and coming riders(Rav, Schubert, Jaeger, etc.) and you’re taking the piss out of that…try to look at it objectively and see that snowboarding isn’t just about fucking powder. It’s about what’s available and having fun with it. Besides, I’d put money on you not being able to do even a quarter of the tricks that Stevens can.

  2. Cold World

    …he’s taking a break?

  3. fjsdklajf;l

    Rav and Jaeger are not that good… I just want to see these rail kids spend a whole season in the backcountry and the backcountry guys spend a season in the streets and then see who is better

  4. fjsdklajf;l

    obviously you just started snowboarding in the last decade! Scotty W is a legend and put down some of the most legit video parts…he retired soo early on and that is why you dont think he is a top 10er.

  5. mang

    its not a contest, bruh

  6. Scott Stevens balls

    We aren’t that big but we have a lot of fun plus we’ve been slappin taint for the past 4 years simply because sometimes Scott forgets to strap his other foot in

  12. The way I interpret “best snowboard(s) ever” is they have a very high level of board control and influence on the direction of snowboarding. People that have or if they wanted to dominate any specific sub genre of snowboarding.

    Terje
    Muller
    MFM
    Gigi
    Travis Parker
    JP Walker
    Shaun White

  27. Bryce

    I feel like Cardiel should be in there somewhere.

  28. ble

    While I fully respect Cardiel in all aspects, come on, he is a legend and all around badass but he’s not one of the top ten snowboarders of all time. Skateboarders? Yes, probably top three. At the time, sure, top ten but his snowboard career was too short to qualify.
