 Even though he couldn't finish the season...I'd give it to Rheeder. He progressed so much this year, he has killer style, insane tricks, super chill personality, and fun to watch ride.

 ^My thoughts exactly. Sort of came from nowhere to be a threat in every comp he entered, regardless of what the style of features were. Great personality, smooth style and he showed nice trick progression as well. Pilgrim had a strong bag of tricks and didn't seem to really progress as much this year and the baggy v neck/sleeveless shirt thing is, well, just awful.

 Just think about all the great web edits of him that came out in 2013

 Rheeder has come a long way from Havoc Jam and Norco. He hurt himself on what was shaping up to be the winning run at les deux alps. He is the best dude! Rheeder is definatly my vote!

 Soon as I read the Question--- Rheeder's was the first name I thought of...........the dude is a killing machine. Watching some of his video segments yesterday, and Brett dominates at Every style of MTB.........

 Got to be Söderström purely for the effort he put in to the run that crippled him. Ultimate respect.
  • 5 0
 so true. everything he does is effortless, and he still works the hardest out of everyone. it looks like he has such a good time when he rides, and he always sends out a good vibe in everything that he does, especially his riding. go Soderstrom!!!

 I thought the point of a people's choice award was to not have judging criteria. I vote Aggy because he makes me say "f@#% yeah" and then want to get out and ride that instant.
  • 3 0
 Well... I guess he would have to compete to qualify for that.
  • 2 1
 I was thinking Aggy too. pilgrim would be my next guess but I think Aggy deserves it.
  • 9 1
 Isn't rampage the only event he does?
  • 4 2
 Rampage is the only real freeride event to me. Slopestyle is something different. I agree, Aggy gets me stoked to ride!

 Soderstrom

 Vote for Kelly!! He had some insane slope style runs and he was unreal at rampage!

 Seriously I HAVE TO HAVE A FACEBOOK ACCOUNT TO VOTE! What kinda BS is this!

 I'd vote for Yannick Granieri. He was always a top contender for the win at every contest he participated. He designed the amazing slopestyle course at les 2 alpes. He was always there to give what evrybody watching or attending the competitions wanted, some of the best tricks of the year combined with a superdialed riding style and attitude. For me, he's the wholepackage for a freeride athlete. Soderstrom was next on my list because he constantly tried to push himself to the limit, he even took a nasty bail at joyride because of that, plus he's gotta be the most stylish rider outthere. Pilgrim in third for consistency giving him the overalls.

 I would say Thelander. He was unknown and he just killed it at the most events with awesome runs!
  • 11 9
 Got to be Pilgrim, not only did he win, but he seems an awesome personality, comes across great in the media, runs series on how to do bike stuff (new one just started) plus he does some great edits too!

 hands down pilgrim cos he doesn't take it so seriously such as other riders like semunuck
  • 4 1
 They are both really chill dudes, but take the comps very seriously!
  • 4 1
 Come on, don't forget Brett Rheeder !
  • 3 0
 martin Soderstrom for the win
  • 3 1
 They're all good so this is tuff
  • 6 4
 Just give it to Szymon Godzeik automatically.
  • 1 1
 Rheeder gets my vote, mainly for his X-games win, X-games was so crucial to the progression of freeride mtb and he smashed his run and won it... doing everyone a favour!
  • 2 2
 Has to be Tyler McCaul. Showed a lot more style, especially with the backflip at Rampage.
  • 2 0
 Semenuk

 brett rheeder!!! he came off a big injury, and he turned some heads
