Dustin Miller

Most Studious

He has a side job as a history teacher, but he's also the only guy I can think of who reads. There aren't many freestyle guys who are non-ADD enough to sit still and be the nerdy kid.
Ronnie Renner

Least Likely to Woo the Ladies

He always thinks he can just show up at afterparties and all the chicks are gonna want him. But I've seen so many drinks get poured on him.
Nate Adams

Teacher's Pet

He's just so damn standard: He does his homework, rarely cusses and is neutral on girls. He's never in trouble and he isn't tatted up. I want to pick on him, but I can't find anything wrong.
Travis Pastrana

Worst Driver

Travis may be a good race car driver, but if there's one rider I would not get into a car with, it's him. He's a real in-the-moment dude, willing to try anything. He's done some dumb stuff.
J. Stenberg

Most Likely to be Sent to the Office

At Winter X one year, people were saying Twitch had a big mouth. Sure enough, he started cussing on live TV. He's the reason for tape delays.
Mat Rebeaud

Biggest Loner

Everyone likes him, but during contests, he's so focused; he just goes off and does his own thing. At X Games last year he just sat inside his van by himself. He's his own guy.
