Baller Nando Posted February 13, 2019 Baller Share Posted February 13, 2019 George was a bit early to fit Horton’s definition, but fits the underrated/under appreciated definition. I believe he won two world overall titles but what I liked best about him was that he competed in jumping at the worlds wearing cutoff jean shorts and a life vest, no wetsuit, certainly no jump suit, no helmet, just out there skiing.

Baller Cooper_Trelawney Posted February 13, 2019 Baller Share Posted February 13, 2019 Speaking of underrated Overall Skiers keep your eyes open for Dylan Schaffer. 10k plus tricker, slaloms into 39 and jumps 190s/200. And he's young and getting better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ lpskier Posted February 14, 2019 Baller_ Share Posted February 14, 2019 @Cooper_Trelawney And he is a great kid. If you really want to have fun, hang out with his parents. Lpskier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller Drago Posted February 14, 2019 Baller Share Posted February 14, 2019 Ise ran tail 39s in the early 90s (@36). Thing is ,though, only @ okeeheelee. (^ I'm having problems with the underrated definition. Does that mean they were great skiers but couldn't get er done @ tournaments? Or never entered pro tours?)

Baller gregy Posted February 16, 2019 Baller Share Posted February 16, 2019 I skied with a guy named Jeff McClanahan in college mid to late 80s. He was the South Central region record holder in slalom M1. He jumped and was a good tricker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller matthewbrown Posted February 16, 2019 Baller Share Posted February 16, 2019 Dimitri Gamzukoff was one of the greatest slalom skiers I’ve ever seen. Knocking down 39’s back in 95’ with a cocktail in one hand and a fist full of cash in the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

walleye Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 Brooke Baldwin & Chad Meny to my knowledge are the only 2 kids to ever win a slalom title 2nd year in there age division. They both continued with consecutive titles after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AustinGraham Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 @Rich Thank you so much for that photo. Leroy was my uncle! I grew up on bethel island and every single day we would be out on the water for at least 2 hours. From fishing to wake boarding we did it all. Unfortunately lee passed away in 2014 while skiing up in Tahoe. He had an aneurysm. But he passed doing what he loved!! He was THE best skier in the world at the time. He still holds world records to this day. My uncle. Leroy Burnett. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Horton Posted June 15, 2022 Author Administrators Share Posted June 15, 2022 @CBR51 Mick was highly celebrated in his era. One of the greatest overall skiers of all time but never underrated.

Baller_ Jody_Seal Posted June 15, 2022 Baller_ Share Posted June 15, 2022 Dr. Mike Morgan comes to mind. still skiing ( mostly slalom these days) on the top end of masters men and men 5. up until a couple years ago was skiing open slalom. he claims trick and jump are in the past however men 6 is coming up and national records are out their in his wheel house. in the days when him and Chuck Forrest were battling it out in the slalom course Dr. Mike was also jumping far and tricking high scores in men 3 and 4. Underrated ? No. we all know when Dr. Mike is in your division your probably going to take second place.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller lhoover Posted June 15, 2022 Baller Share Posted June 15, 2022 Good point, Jody. When Dr. Michaels finally got the boot, Dr. Morgan's records were restored (pretty sure it was that sequence). Anyway, for several years Mike held the record for EACH discipline in Men3. Rather stout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
