Yo someone find nolliebackflip. All these years his username had me questioning if it was possible, and the one and only Mista mango answered with a resounding "yes it is"

Ok I've watched them all multiple times now and I gotta say ABM deserves the W on this one. Honestly I'm overall a much bigger fan of Peyben and Mango's skiing, but ABMs part really has it all:
- unique interesting tricks (the shots on the rainbow rail)
- massive jumps/gaps
- massive rails (that dfd elbow that's like head high, plus the ender
- more mellow stylie tricks (the switch on pre nose)
- does crazy flips off rails and shit
- jibs a fucking dump truck
- segment is pure heat, doesn't have a lot of filler shots
all the segments are dope but I don't think any are as well rounded as ABMs, I also just want to see him back in the comp next year lol

how the fuck do you judge that? all of them were so sick. Henrik, abm and bdog hit the biggest features with really technical and stylish trick choices that are unique to each skier. Peyben and mango had the most interesting and creative tricks while still going pretty big (peyben's fackie ollie over the fence and mango's nollie backflip like how though?). Kim's part was sick by anybody's standards but didnt leave my jaw on the floor as much as the others, thats the only one i feel comfortable sorting into last place (still crazy good though).
Creativity its 1 peyben, 2 mango, 3 bdog. to me creativity matters most which is what makes overall impression so difficult
technicality i got it 1abm 2henrik 3literally anybody based on your own definition of technicality
gnarly features 1abm 2 henrik 3maybe bdog? there were scary spots in all of them
overall: its anybody's to win. i do not envy those judges

Ive watched them a few times now and still having a super hard time. But here we go....
1) Mango - That first trick...
2) ABM - This clearly was a season's worth of bangers and was so heavy. Dude loves backslides too
3) Kim - I think this one is getting super slept on. For some reason it just really resonated with me. Awesome style and was the one that made me want to get out there. Most of it was long lense but those rails were huuuge.
I also agree with others that Henriks was a little underwhelming, (for his ability*) But the entire time I was just thinking "When the hell did he have time to film this??" Its insane how much content he puts out while still competing in just about every event and releasing his own movies. Crazy. Still the GOAT imo

Clearly an unpopular opinion but ABM shouldn't be top 3. He had a couple of heaters but it was 90% comp tricks on massive builds with winch tow-ins. He had 3 essentially stock jump shots (bleacher gap + don't tell me that bin lid made any difference to that dub 7) and 3-4 shots on pretty regular downrails. He hit a couple of scary features but nothing close to what Phil hit. It's a sick edit and he'll probably medal but it's not very 'street'. Henrik is the GOAT but clearly didn't have the time and or conditions to film something to challenge the other guys, his was probably last place. His ender was death though.
Phil is clearly going to win again, at least with the judges. He hit by far the scariest stuff, had a bunch of super creative shots and his style is unfuckable with. He also did some really technical tricks (I challenge anyone else in the world do what he did on that rainbow without dying) and hut the most unique spots except maybe Mango. For me second would probably be Mango for that reason. His opener was mindblowing, as was the Nollie backie, and he didn't really have any weak shots (same with Phil) and great unique spots throughout. For some reason I don't think he's gonna get a medal though. Peyben should probably narrowly edge Kim for third. It's hard to call because he had crazy creativity but a lot of his stuff was pretty low consequence compared to others. Kim had great spots, some gnarly shots and he's definitely getting overlooked here, but I would say Peyben probably edged him with a couple of moments of total insanity like that tips in two pretz two and having no filler.
1. Phil
2. Mango
3. Peyben
4. Kim
5. ABM
6. Henrik

This is a hard year to choose who should be crowned the Real Ski champ!! It seems that a lot of people are voting for ABM, which I understand, his part was so crazy. I respect his level of skiing, but I don't think that is what Real Ski is entirely about. He rides more like it's a slope style run in the olympics rather than a street part.
My votes would either go to Mango or Peyben because of how creative they were in their riding and the spots they hit. I like to see how creative and funky riders can get, not about how big they can go off kickers built in a park. I'm not trying to shit talk ABM, but I think the gold should be given to a riders based on creativity, not how technical their riding is.

It seems like this years real ski would be a totally different story without edgeless skis. Henrik was using them in a few shots, Phil was using them a lot and specifically his ender was not possible without edgeless skis. Also the whale tail in ABM’s part was aluminum so edgeless skis again. So dope to see the range of possibilities once you take edges off

Don't think anyones gonna listen to another opinion but here it is
As everyone has said this is insane, so hard to choose
Mango is one of my top votes for sure, the opener was absolutely mind blowing, Nollie backflip was insane, bunch of other dope tricks, and overall the filming and color/vibe were reeeally nice.
It is hard to give Henrik love here because of his past success, but I thought his part was so good.
Not sure why everyone is putting ABM at the top. I don't want to say it was bad because it wasn't, had some crazy/respectworthy tricks in there. But I agree with whoever said it felt like a comp. Just don't love his style
yeah
Also it was hard for me to like Phils kinda because a lot of his tricks were really similar to his real ski part last year. But watched it a few more times and its def one of my top votes. So dope
Peybens was soo gas
Again impossible to choose, everyone kill dit.
Like someone said, we need more mango/peyben in street and less ABM (sorry ABM ur still dope)
I choose Mango and Philster

I am struggling with the responses in this thread that suggest there is a style or formula for “RealSki”. The people suggesting there should be “more this and less that” are way off. All of these insane videos represent a different form of style and creativity all brought together by out of this world skill and balls.
I would have a ave a hard time saying who or what belongs in street skiing because it is the different styles that make it unique as a whole.

Mango easily had the most creative but it looks like it was shot on a Sony action cam. Phil is definitely winning, he had the best one and it wasn't even close, there was maybe two or three unique features outside of those two videos in total. Most of it just looked like shit you would see passed around on IG by accounts called "sendit.dank" and "ski.swerve.send"

Lol @ everyone saying ABM's felt like a comp. Do you see tricks like frontside to misty, up rail to rodeo, or freaking TORQUE slide in comp? The only reason you guys are saying that is because of how clean his style was, but not everyone needs to have a super loose style to be enjoyable to watch.

3abm
But I'll probably change my mind soon, i could see any order of those 3 on the podium. peyben had some really interesting tricks and henrik was just gnarly but still stylie too.

Meant that as a joke as, yes, my wife knows nothing about skiing. That being said, a Dub 7 off a trash can (not to mention the rest of his shots) from Jake, Magnus or Peyben would’ve had everyone shitting their pants. I’m a huge fan of those 3, and a bigger fan of Henrik and Phil, but imo ABM had the most well rounded stack of bangers this year.

1.) Phil
2.) ABM
3.) Kim
It’s all about who hits the biggest spots going the fastest. Save that creative shit for Line Traveling Circus. I’m looking for Stept style shots and big pro spots. Some of these dudes were hitting spots... others were hitting spots that only a top pro could step to.
Also, Kim is getting slept on big time. I thought his edit went so hard!
Bummer Henrik didn’t have more time to film, would have been ill to see him and Phil take this over.

No one has provided a solid argument for it. "Dur he did nice spinny thing on pole before straight sliding a mini dub kink. like his hand plant on a 10ft. wall ride holding grab was so revolutionary. Almust as good as when he used hand assistance to get on a 1ft. tall crete ledge on a child's slide to front swap, so far ahead of time. Dunt furget about his 10ft. long wavy rail that's 2 ft. off the ground with no stairs. so epic! he slid 2ft. of woodsy before getting on!"
Its all fucking bullshit.

Oh let's not forget about the "creative" use of his hands to settle himself on the rails because he doesn't have the skill to do it solely with balance edge control. That's like so legit and tech. I wouldn't expect anything more from The Bunch fanboy club where fucking up can be passed off as purposely done poetry on sticks. What a joke.

I see what you're saying but I guess I'm just not mad at it. Like for something like that concrete ledge slide thing, it doesn't make so much difference if he allied, aired, or hand planted in its more the fact that he's sliding that fucked up round curvy ledge thats cool and impressive to me

Lmao do you have any idea how hard it is to spin around on a spherical pole-top with flat skis? And jump right into a full multiple kinked handrail after it? People fall off rails all the time, imagine now having to do a full surface swap on something that you basically have to keep perfect balance on.
His wallride was huge and steezy af, you're belittling it.
I don't think he used hand assistance to push himself up so much as keep his balance, and either way, that spot was sick.
Also, way to ignore his nollie backflip.
Just because shit isn't big doesn't mean it's not technical or fun to watch.
