SLVSH

[whistleblower]

I'm sure at the top ahall was like "fuck ive never done this before, ima land it" and then was stoked when he landed it and was fucking around with aleksi. You guys take shit way too seriously.

i was working out yesterday and one of my workout partner lapped me. I gave them a light-hearted middle finger as i was walking over to the erg and realized they had lapped me. should i have just been gracious?

how grown are you that you can't discern when someone is fucking around and doesn't really mean to say "fuck you?"

People who were there were not happy with the way Alex was acting. He was not being light hearted.

the fact that you made a "whistleblower" account over slvsh game is soft as baby shit

 

[yungsteeze]

Surprised nobody here said anything about ahalls sw bio 10 being a cork not a bio. Sick game, but kinda made me feel like there should only be one last trick redemption.

 

[chicknfriedsteak]

Watching this thread is almost as much fun as it was watching the game.

That said is anybody here really surprised that Aleksi went so hard on Alex? Alex is a slvsh cup winner and aside from maybe Henrik he is kind of the guy to beat. Aleksi obviously wants to win I mean who wouldn't? So he isn't going to go easy on Ahall and let him just take it. Also if you think that Aleksi was not playing cool and calling to many hard tricks remember that Alex has called seatbelts on people who can't do them before and in his game with Laker called a stall to 540 off the close out tube after Laker had been unable to do a 360 stall off of it.

Finnaly, as far as Alex's attitude goes, everyone has bad days and after a couple painful crashes, nonstop tough tricks and too many nose grabs no wonder he got pissed off. It doesn't make him a bad player, it makes him human.

Lol the way Hall took that seemed like it was like Magic Johnson v Larry Bird beefing on the court. It was like he was trying to get into Aleksi's head, so that as soon as the set changed Aleksi would hand over the game.

I think people are too focused on the middle finger there was other stuff, like A Hall saying "the set better not change", AHall saying "fuck this" after he didn't land the cork 5 double nose, and Im not sure if I read that right, but when Steve gave AHall the letter on the BS, B2 on the DFD, AHall was audibly saying "really??" in disbelief. Im sure that probably intimidated Steve a little bit to give a no-go to that highly questionable call on Aleksi sw bio 9 nose.

Overall it seemed Aleksi was there more to have a good time, and AHall was there to win the Slvsh cup again. Like Aleksi was clearly rattled, and after all the shit that they were doing, I feel a SWR5 shouldn't have been much of a problem for him.

Everybody tries to act like this Slvsh cup is like everybody just being best friends, making cork jokes, and having a good time, which it might be 99% of the time, but in that game AHall was acting like a total dickhead. At times he sounded like a kid in little league storming back to the dug out after striking out, throwing his helmet. Which is understandable for someone who seems like they want to win at all costs and would be mortified by being iced in the first round.

 

[Turner.]

you think people need to be gracious in a game of slvsh? are you joking?

i was working out yesterday and one of my workout partner lapped me. I gave them a light-hearted middle finger as i was walking over to the erg and realized they had lapped me. should i have just been gracious?

how grown are you that you can't discern when someone is fucking around and doesn't really mean to say "fuck you?"

1. Your workout analogy fails, because in your case your partner actually bested you, whereas Ahall gave a kid the finger after landing the same trick

2. Ahall' s jock behaviour went way past the 1 middle finger incident

3. Jocks gonna jock, we all saw what went down

4. Steve called a great game, aleksi's last hand drag was heavier than the previous, and set is more demanding than revenge

oh my GOD dude cry me a river. Ahall had arguably the same EXACT landing earlier in the game on a defense trick and steve said if he was on offense he wouldn't have given it to him, so he had to not give aleksi that last make. They were jabbing back and forth as early as the first trick where aleksi was saying "please fuck up please fuck up", then the back and forth they had before the backslide front swap. the BSB2 on the DFD was arguably closer to a make than aleksi's last trick, steve was hard on the sets all the way through.

reffing was on point, aleksi had some crazy sets and ahalls defense was one for the record books. mistys with tails and flats with nose grabs are legit some of the hardest contorting tricks out. people need to quit crying because someone was competitive, dude wants to win so he called a hard trick to end it, it's not like they weren't ultra competitive all the way through.

surely you're entire post wasn't directed at me, all things considered. i don't really think the analogy fails in a scenario where the only goal is to match the other person's trick. i gave that analogy only to say that you can do it light-heartedly in otherwise friendly competition, whether you are being bested by someone else are are the one doing the one-upping. he also says something along the lines of "fuck you for making me do that" not "fuck you, i just matched your trick." clearly, the psychology for doing it is different than everyone is stating.

Well put. Obviously these guys want to win, that wasn’t my point. The point is you can be chill about it or you can be a dick. Ahall displayed the latter.

 

[chef_boyardee]

Can't be mad about the last 2 tricks that AHall set. The game had been going on for a while and he tried to end it quickly and secure the W. Fair enough. But I definitely didn't appreciate AHall's attitude throughout the game. Although his win was well deserved, he didn't need to act the way he did. Like why the middle finger? That kinda shit doesn't belong in a slvsh game imo. I'm personally looking forward to a potential match between him and Harlaut.

 

[-Dan]

AHall is a G and Aleksi is also a G. The game was incredibly entertaining. The beauty of slvsh is that every game is different. Some are more homie style where the plays agree beforehand to be friendlier with their calls. Some are like andy parry games where obvious there are 2 very different bags of tricks but its fun to see either rider try out what the other rider likes to do. Others are when people really push it and get the opponent to try something for the first time. That shit excites me cause i can relate to the rush of first attempts.

It should be no surprise that the games in the Cup get competitive. A winner is given a prize here and everyone shows up with the hopes of winning it. If you didnt like this game then you really aren't into the slvsh cup. Has nothing to do with AHall. Go watch any other games from AHall and enjoy those instead.

 

[Chubz.]

Unreal game but giving Aleksej the finger was totally uncalled for.

Waaaahhhhh middle finger waaaaahhhh

you guys must have grown up in fairy land suburbs with gum drops and pixy dust. It’s flipping somebody the bird, I tell my best friends to go fuck themselves on a daily basis. It’s a fucking slvsh game on a trick that was prolly a nbd for him it’s a fuckin middle finger and he gave him knuckles right when he skis up to him.

You guys look waaay too far into shit

You are correct, pretty much only point 1 was directed at you.

You bring up some other good points, though my bottom line is basically that I don't think Ahall was behaving lightheartedly, which was enough for me to watch the game and be like "wait is this guy actually mad rn??" and that bothered me.

Lotsa people with lots of well rounded views on skiing sounding off rn, which is nice too see.

Idk dude, the "please fuck up" on Aleksi's part seemed more light hearted, and AHall seemed more like "fuck this kid for trying to come in and take me out first round"

It's just the overall attitude, Aleksi seemed to be like "wow Im in a game with AHall", hence why he was like "fuck" when he lost the rock paper, scissors, and why he was like "may I rest in peace" when the set finally changed, because he knew he was facing someone who has a good chance of winning the cup.

Im not going to go play for play with you and analyze ever nuance more than we already have. Overall, I just thought AHall was acting like a bad sport, and made the game uncomfortable, way more than Aleksi did. The energy was almost that Aleksi was just giving it away at the end because he didnt want to make a permanent enemy lol. Like Im sure AHalls heel hurt a lot, but I think he was also making Aleksi feel bad for calling a bunch of big jump tricks when it was clear his heel was agitating him.

right. for all we know the cameras could have been kinder to aleksi (sp?) than alex. I mean, in the first half of the game he's saying "please fuck up, please fuck up" on a trick he doesn't want to do. does that make him an asshole? i don't really think so. but it also wasn't to alex's face. if anything, it set the stage for a competitive game, if only mildly contentious game.

What's the prize money for this?

Something about that Hall last name and being a beast of a competitor.

this! it was an amazing game so i really hope the two of them have no bad blood, i really don't blame either of them for anything, especially getting frustrated after eating shit trying scary new shit

like this^ guy said, that's kinda the weird part about slvsh. it's jokey and friendly for the most part and it's something of an anti-comp, but the fact remains that it's really difficult and dangerous stuff theyre doing and it must be super frustrating, so i'm sure it's hard to temper that competition aspect with the friendly aspect

 

[SofaKingSick]

basically i'm this guy while watching slvsh. that and hoping for some sick trick matching sprees

[Kretzschmar]

AHall on the last 2 tricks be like

 

[wameron]

Fun to watch people pushing each other, definitely not great vibes when the competitors are more worried about losing/throwing the other person off than getting to try new tricks. Idk. It was like a Henshaw v McEachran game.

Are you saying that the McEachran Russ game was bad? That was probably the most entertaining game to date.

AHall was acting within reason then. Get that $.

 

[AlexHall]

Hahahahah the heated arguments are hilarious. Aleksi and I are still real tight homies actually. The game was savage. That's it. What happens in a SLVSH game doesn't affect our relationship outside the game hahah. Oh and the finger was a complete joke. They cut the shot but we both were laughing actually

 

[PistilHerbal]

I hope SLVSH makes everyone wear mittens from now on to clamp down on this middle finger business. It's just not wholesome.

As a tall skier, I just want you to know how inspiring it is to know that it's possible to ski park well at height. I don't ski park at all, but it's nice to know it's possible.

 

[firecrotch]

one of my favorite games to watch so far

 

[_____alfredo____]

Bam. Y'all are soft af.

 

[BrawnTrends]

That finger was clearly a stoked "fuck you dude I did it!!!" like friends would do in that type of situation. Aleksi sure did seem pissed after the sw bio 9 call though, which is understandable, but I think Steve was a really fair judge on the game as a whole. I hope we see more of him reffing in the future.

 

[Chubz.]

I really hate how the twist of this game is getting overshadowed by a middle finger.

It just shows how passionate these guys are about skiing.

And this game was fucking insane!!! Aleksi pretty much had him beat and ahall comes back and does that! What???!!

 

[TOK]

One of the best games of SLVSH I've seen. A Hall is the man for putting up with all those sets by Aleksi at the end and after those hard jump landings I would've done the exact same thing, Aleksi totally had that one coming.

 

[BrawnTrends]

Aleksi totally had that one coming.

He knew he was done for when the set finally changed: "may I rest in peace". Two letters in a row, game over.

[gorilas]

People here are getting more upset than aleksi losing. And he wasn't even that upset. I mean who wouldn't want an opportunity at even 1k

They were both trying to win. Let it go

 

[J_Christoph]

Alex was SO clutch

 

[jeppesolberg]

These discussions are funny as hell, "HE FLIPPED HIM OFF!", but I´m questioning the cork 5 dub nose from the qp takeoff, gets called at like 9:30 and Ahall does it preeeeetttyyy fucking straight from what I can tell.

Anyways, insane game from both guys, cant wait for AHall vs Hugo.

 

[highpeak]

For you guys flipping a tit, have you seriously never flipped your friends off before?

 

[*St4th0s*]

i liked the a hall game 8

 

[papermache]

This thread is hilarious. so many butthurt NSers looking for drama where there was none. Ahall was an absolute beast in that game

 

[Saga.]

It took until the third watch until A Halls call of “I hope the set don’t change” really sank in.

He basically told Aleksi and everyone that since Aleksi called that trick if he got the set back it was over. That’s a boss move.

Agreed so savage. And I don't think he's a dick for it just a sav. I thought it was one of funnest games to watch ever. And to everyone thinking a hall is a dick for his two last calls, aleksi literally called 5 jump tricks in a row. If he wanted to turn it into a jump competition ahall probably would have beat him in the first 5 sets.
