hey guys, i just want to know your opinion about these two young riders. both are very good but some say it's hard to compare their riding skills cuz one rides cable and the other one rides winch. let's hear what you think? feel free to post videos and pictures of the two. Smile

Theyre both nuts, but i wouldnt say Austin is only a winch rider.

fatstacey, considering austin is probably top 5 riders in the sport, id go with austin.

I haven't seen Daniel ride anything but cable, Austin shreds boat, ski, winch, and cable. That said I don't think there is much of a comparison. Daniel kills it, but is nowhere near the level of Austin/Drew/Ben.

To save my words, i will state simply that I agree with frye, but daniel is very talented.

fatstacey, Just curious, who says it's hard to compare their riding?

No offense to this Daniel guy but i'm leaning towards this thread being a joke..

Slapdown, i think it is weird to compare them, austin is a pretty sick rider there is no denying that. I think daniel is one of the best obstacle riders in the world, that counts for something in my book. However i never had the chance to see austin ride obstacles at a cable so i could be mistaken.

pipo, completely disagree. there are much better and more technical obstacle riders. but I also have only seen his videos, so that is just my opinion.

daniel grant kills it, but like most people are saying I don't think he is on the level of riding that austin is.

electricsnow, probably one of my favorite tricks in his part. aside from the 15 ft. high backside 180.

Evan71, nope, cut him open. just wakeskates, winches, and front bigs.
