Official War of Rails V Thread.

Steve and Kutcher didn't advance to finals (they skied earlier). Pretty sure Torin and Joss aren't even there (just because they're invited doesn't mean they'll go).
 
I'm predicting Dom has the W, some real heavy stuff from him in the finals. Karl and Seany J will also definitely be up there among him too!
 
FUCK YEAH KARL!!! The most deserved win. I don't think there was a part of the course he didn't hit, never saw him fall or even look sketchy. Dominated.
 
I'm so surprised that LJ even got on the podium, I didn't see him do anything that stood out. Dom definitely got ripped off there, but congrats on best trick. Karl also killed it all day
 
Big ups to Karl for slaying it! disappointed that John and Steve weren't in the finals, but a sick comp nonetheless!
 
I think consistency generally plays a huge role in these types of events. It's hard to really stand out when everyone is throwing down, but when you don't fall and still do big tricks every run the judges notice. That being said, LJ is one of the most consistent rail jam skiers there is, so it's really not that surprising to me that he's up there. It's why LJ wins R2R all the time...the shear number of tricks he throws down and lands is mind-blowing

Dom did good, but wasn't consistent, he fell a couple times...that and I don't think judges really get the point of the caribou on to the rail thing. Scrappy was another one who was throwing down, but just had a few wobbles here and there.

If you look at the podium, they all stayed on their feet the whole time, hit different sections of the course, threw big tricks, and did different tricks every run - and generally 3 tricks per run on top of that. Taking nothing away from the other finalists, but I see no problems with the podium.
 
Super hyped for LJ! And if anyone had to take the title from him glad it was Karl. He was on one all day. Bummed none of the other boys made finals but the format for the qualifiers didn't seem like it was the best. Oh well. Big thanks to Bear Mountain and Craig Coker for putting together another sick contest despite some challenging weather.
 
The 4bi9 guys were filming all week and during the event. Their edit is probably going to be fire.
 
Ok sweet, because I haven't seen any footage. I definitely want to see something, because the stuff going down there is sick.
 
ya boy tall t was on site with that all access VIP media pass. Handicam lurkin amonst REDs and whatever else. Teaser dropping shortly and full cut in the next day or two.
 
You are almost correct, but my motive was so that my Pops could see me. He was watching the livestream for the sole reason of seeing his swagged out young man posted in cali doin his thing. At one point i went and filmed from a different spot, he called me and told me to go back where i was cause he couldnt see me anymore.
 
After rewatching the live stream last night we decided Simon created a pretty awesome drinking game. It should be pretty easy to figure out, especially from this video.
 
Best trick went to Dom laporte's switch 6 on to the wall ride unless you're not counting that as a rail
 
This for real. Karls gap was absolutely insane. Even more so. Other guys looked at it and said no fucking way. But no one in their right mind except Dom thought about doing a 6 up onto that wall
