2014 was a big year for freeskiing.
At the opposite end of the spectrum, both urban and backcountry skiing hit new heights.
But in a completely undemocratic and occasionally tongue in cheek manner, we’ve done it.
I’m sure we’ve missed a lot, so check that you let us know.
We may even do a crowd-sourced ‘volume two’.
But without further ado and in no particular order…
The top 10 ski stunts of 2014.
Phil Casabon - Keynote Skier… pretty much all of it to be honest.
If I had to pick a trick it would be the noseblunt stall ender (3.28).
This double backflip from Nine Knights is a prime example of some Jesper insanity.

Corey Vanular - Wall to Wall
The all-time MVP (ha.)
He’s also one founder of the universally lovedSLVSH.
Big year, great ambassador for freeskiing.
This has to have been the best single trick of the games.
I definitely can’t say anything that hasn’t already been said.
You fall, you die, simple.
Gus now has the social media power to win every online competition ever.
Puppies > Newschoolers for comp sways, so expect to see him win the lot.
Luckily he does also kill it, as his performance at Dew Tour the other week proved.
Tanner Hall - Pillow line (3:38)… but really all of them.
From a 7 times X-Games gold medalist and legend of the sport that is no mean claim.
He’s also picked up the moniker Ski Boss.
But you know what?
Having seen this edit, I think he’s worthy of it.
And that’s one of the biggest compliments I can pay.
