So you have to be better than the actual pro, in order to criticize them?

I think thats fair. At least to the extent of calling one over rated.

overrated? Kyle strait... turndowns and tables can only take you so far in my humble opinion.
I totally agree with that. Ever since that win at Rampage he has done almost nothing special in freeriding.

uhh sick double tailwhips on a sx trail??? and besides he focused on racing... rampage was good cuz it was at the end year so everyone can go all out
He said freeriding not slopestyle.

I just think to call someone you've never met who's WAY better then you are overrated is some OBNOXIOUS and incredibly arrogant and short sighted bullshit. It's not like Kyle Strait is on your fantasy baseball team or you have money riding on him. This is a friendly sport with a good crew of super nice guys. Walk up to most of those guys at the hill and they won't mind if you follow them down some runs. Hell nine times out of ten you're all burning in someone's condo at the end of the day. This isn't the sport to criticize other rider's ability. It makes you look like an ass.

timo pritzl is underrated, well compared to john cowan who is quite the opposite.
robbie bourden is way overrated, agreed.
every big mountain rider is underrated. (who knows of any other current pro's making a living doing it?) mason mashon (spe?) who rides for brodie, and mike hopkins is underrated, evan shwartz is underrated too. oh yea, shaums march, jay hoots are also under rated.
Kinrade, romaniuk = way way overrated.

"every big mountain rider in underrated" Yet according to you Bourdon, Kinrade, and Romaniuk pretty much the kings of big mountain these days are overrated? Make up your damn mind you hypocrite.
