Tyler was a rookie to watch in 2010 -- he was an "It" kid entering WX but succumbed, as many do, to rookie jitters. Some thought that he'd been passed by in 2011, but he silenced the critics by unleashing a barrage of spins, clean double corks and tech rail tricks to earn Slopestyle bronze. Tyler has a nice compact style and tricks like backside double cork 1080s, frontside 1080s and Cab 1260s. Still just 18, Tyler was part of an all-teen Slopestyle podium in 2011. He enters his first WXG Tignes event off a 14th in Slopestyle and an 8th in Big Air at WX Aspen 2012.
