I just have a hard time believe ski companies (let me reiterate, ski companies) are fighting for a spot on a filter. Just sayin.

I'm guessing it wasn't a large transaction, Atomic probably just jumped on it.

Please explain to me how you know about the ins and outs of snapchats business? You don't, i don't but I'm making an educated guess. The first takeovers were this summer and you think that companies are fighting over who gets to be in the snapchat filter?

I don't know the ins and out but i know the price snapchat asks is 750,000 a day for a takeover, putting that into consideration you can make an educated guess that being in the filters isn't a 'who ever wants it' scenario.

I didn't say people are fighting over it but snapchat has a huge audience, im not sure how the filter works but if any brand got in there for free snapchat wouldn't be asking 750,000 for a takeover. Maybe if you had an understanding of how advertising, marketing or brand placement works you coulda figured that out.

progression like noahs switch dubs should score higher then more common dubs that might be grabbed slightly better / a couple feet higher, his other tricks were flossed too. Just my opinion though

I definitely agree but was just trying to explain, my guess at why the judges felt that way. I would've loved to have seen Kevin's run if he'd had one more gnarly trick on the opposite site. His flat 3 is seriously the sickest thing ever though. Bowman's run was so ill.
 
Did vinc even do a double? From this angle looks like he pulled the sickest rodeo 12's of all time

[VIDEO]

Debatable dub, but definitely a 16

Apparently it was definitely a dub from other angles, just the tv angle sucked for that axis. When I saw that first I didn't even think it was a single...

i definitely thought it was a 16 when i saw it happen but it's a 12

i thought it had to be like a 7 to 9 but it's like a 3 to 9. so weird and sick

God I don't know why these things bother me so much....

I'll say it again, you're pants on fucking head retarded if you think that's a 16. Where do you kids even get these ideas from? Ugh

it's not that crazy. i consider myself really good at IDing tricks and when i drunkenly half-watched it at the bar i thought it was a 16. it's really weird to see someone do a 3 to 9 and the 9 coming after the 3 is really spinny and sort of made my brain assume he had started with a bio 7 kinda thing and spun out of it. idk.

honestly one of the tougher tricks to ID i can think of. can you think of a harder one? i guess switch trip 18s or something

Yeah you're right, it probably is one of the tougher tricks to spot especially with that grab. At first glance I guess I could forgive someone for thinking 16, but for people to still think that way 5 days later and with all the replays available is just... Brutal. It really only bothers me because people are just so convinced it's a 16
