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:
Todd Richards. Circa 2000
Brooke
Peter Line
Jamie Lynn
Travis Rice
Gigi Ruf
JP Walker
Terje
David Benedek

The fuck…Bjorn isn’t mentioned once? And don’t get me wrong, Bradshaw is sick, but he doesn’t deserve a spot on anybody’s list over someone like Jed or Stevens.
Terje
Nicolas Muller
Gigi
Craig Kelly
Bjorn Leines
Jamie Lynn
Travis Rice
Jake Blauvelt
Scott Stevens
Jed Anderson
How can you even try put Scott Stevens on this list? He films one foots on park benches, when half these dudes are badass powder hounds…Scott Stevens isn’t even top 10 today.
You do understand this is a list of a single persons top 10 right? It’s going to be subjective.
Yea i know. I’m just sick of people acting like scott stevens is the best in snowboarding, when he just fucks around and has fun, and doesn’t do any legit tricks anymore.
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.
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
its not a contest, bruh
Both Stevens and Jed can throw down pretty hard in the backcountry so I have no idea what you’re talking about there fuckboi.
style is well deserving to be on that list!
Once again the YO beat staff who can’t ride at all and just spend their time talking smack can’t put a real list together to save their lives.
First off shaun white is def on that list whether you like him or not and guys like Pat M, Scotty W and Dylan T don’t even come close to making the list. And ummm have you ever heard of shun Palmer?
Yobeat sucks and that’s why nobody thier garbage.
R U SHUN PALMER??
Make your own blog and then you can post your own fucking list. Anyway fuck Yobeat lets go practice our boot grabs.
Pat Moore makes it every time ass hat
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.
I never heard of Shun but there is a guy named Shaun Palmer!
y’all aint got no love for Jim Rippey? Dave Downing? Todd Schlosser? TSSSSSSS!
Kazu.
Downing! How could I forget! His part in lost in transition was so sick
Kier Dillon.
I guess I’m better known for being a rock star now!
Peter Line
Xavier de La Rue
Jeremy Jones (Backcountry)
JP Walker (Me)
Travis Rice
Craig Kelly
Gigi Ruf
Nicolas Müller
Jamie Lynn
Terje Haakonseen
Pat Moore
Gigi
Mikkel
Muller
Terje
Travis
Kazu
Blauvelt
Keegan
Furguson
probably the first of many times ben ferguson will make someones list.
Why am I on the list, twice? Is it an inside joke? I’m confused. I’m surely not bad at snowboarding and have been fairly popular over the last decade, but I’m not worthy of being in these ranks. Did you mean to say Bryan Iguchi? Maybe you are getting us confused?
I’d be curious to see what the lists would look like if you asked 10 random people at Hood this summer. From campers to old legends to whoever is passed out in the Caked RV at the time…would be interesting.
Damn alexa did you start snowboarding yesterday? Worst list ever. Attention yobeat staff, your fucking stupid and you know nothing about snowboarding.
The fact that Halldor Helgason is on that list is fucking wack. How stupid can you be that you would think Halldor has been more influential than fucking Craig Kelly or Shaun Palmer. Educate yo self BITCH
it took me at least an hour to come up with this list.
Maybe you should have taken a little longer
you just made this article so you could make a video of the best comments didnt you
How about Shaun Fucking Palmer? And no Salasnek? Travis blew both of those as well.

Dylan Thompson? Really?
nah son, dylan thompson got second place to denis bonus for most 540’s onto rails
Good thing you left MFM off the list. He probably try to get you to invest in a pyramid scheme.
this list is in order, best in the history of snowboarding
1.brendon rego
2.mike ravelson
3.ian hart
4.dylan dragotta
5.scott mccurdy
6.chase chicone
7.devon therrion
8.dennis filteau
9.bar dadon
10.chrissy carelli
stan u should get your ass kicked for putting (rail) jeremy jones on your list
dylan gamache
any list without Peter lIne is without merit.
your pics of Todd Richards and Peter Line say different years, 1999 and 2000 but in the caption it says they were taken at the same time, looks like the same balcony. Just curious…. and any list should include Peter Line and Mark Frank
yeah they were taken the same year. I think it was 2000, but I’ve hit my head a lot of times since then.

Yobeat went full retard on this one. Jed danimals and frank april have to have a whos dick is bigger contest to see who gets the spot on my list around 8 or 9 for heavy heavy heavy style, Scott stevens (mad respect) but hell no, maybe top 50. Hate jp but he is like 5, hate shaun white but he easily makes the list so ill put him at 10, noah s, roach, peter line, muller, def not corey “sellout” smith, jamie lynn, palmer, maybe magoon post head injury, kazu for sure, idk its basically impossible to only do a list of ten, fuk yobeat haha
Really justin? No Scott Stevens? How are we sapost to rep western mass?
Cardiel!
B.Leines, T. Parker, Clancy, Pat Moore, Whittlake, JP, Line, Rice, Lynn and Chad Otterstrom!

Guy that lives in his RV in the Skibowl east lot that bought me beer when I was 16
you win for putting ben maki first on your list. Yobeat will send you some gloves or some shit for winning. congratulations.
any list that excludes travis parker is invalid
I’d be more interested to hear Shaun white’s top ten.
yoooo fuck palmer.. you all are crazy.
wheres MAGOON
…he’s taking a break?
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

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.
