Dylan Tremblay, think he's such a talented rider, good at most disaplines, and sets a good image to mountain bikers all over the place... A rider to aspire to in my opinion.

Gotta say you likely missed some of the top riders in the world. Gracia and Simmons are glaring ommisions in place of Tremblay haha
Top two Gracia and Simmons. Two of the smoothest riders I have ever seen and both incredible at what they do. BEyond that, Shandro because is an awesome person and a genuine nice guy. (the other two are as well haha)

Come on, noone's mentioned Nathan Rennie, he is fast and a bloody good freerider. Also has anyone ever seen him muscle his bike around, it is freakin awsome. Also not many people think of Mick Hannah or Jared Rando, these guys may not be as fast, but they are super smooth, I reckon Rando could be pretty close to Gracia when it comes to being smooth.
Sorry but I don't see why Klassen is the best, sure I'd say he is good, but not the best. To me the best should be able to do a couple of different disciplines and have style. Klassen is basically another Bender who doesn't crash as much and rides a different bike. After watching his segment in Kranked 5 it made me wish that he had never tried to do a moto-whip, he looks so bloody ********.

Yeah, Aussie pride, next time there is a World cup on in your area, hell, they may eveb just go to Whistler have a look at Sick Mick, he is fast and powerful and look at Rando, he will be on a Giant DH Team, he is super smooth. We were talking on an Aussie forum and none of us could recall him ever crashing and he is stoopid smooth
