What you said:
There’s no way past the fact that Rathy has exploded this year. His free-riding is sick with all the 1080s he has stomped, and his contest riding is more consistent than anyone was willing to give him credit for before now. He is well on the way to being one of the best the sport has ever seen. — Ryan Patzer, High River, Alberta, Canada
