Snowboarder Magazine does an annual "Rider of the year Issue" and ranks the top riders of the year. Since there are so many different styles, tricks, terrain and varieties in Snowboarding, it is difficult to give one individual the title of "best," therefore all of these riders probably could be one of the top 3, and there are probably some missing from this list.
