NS. He was clearly pretty hurt for the whole cup (bruised heels do not heal in a couple of days) and he sent it the whole way through... that shit hurts so he has my respect for that too.

I've bruised my heels before it hurts so fucking bad, i basically had to tippy toe everywhere for like a week and a half

cant believe he kept stomping tricks for so long

im pretty sure you have it backward, the "britney" came after the k fed actually (and it didnt stick nearly as well as a name). then ray charles and ellens the names kinda make sense in a jokey way but those havent really stuck either. but then theyre not quite as much of a staple as k feds are

That poor guy who said english isn't his first language is probably even more confused now lol.

K Fed = Kevin Federline (who was a dancer and married to Britney Spears for a while)

Never heard of a gay fed always called front up fronts an Ellen all those names have been pretty prominent in my skiing community

Thanks dude. Weird name choice tho, right?

13910449:SofaKingSick said:
youre welcome

yeah it's kind of a jokey name. ive always heard the reason as "because it looks like you're dancing on the rail" but it's also just a funny name that some dudes (tyler barnes maybe...? i forget) threw on it at some point and it stuck

Maybe I'm missing something, but why is everyone calling him Quan when his name is Quinn?

There are these things known as nick-names im sure you're familiar with the term?

No need to be a dick. Seems like an odd nickname to phonetically change only one letter and have it the same number of syllables. Kind of defeats the purpose of a nickname, which is why I was asking.

I’m guessing you weren’t around in 2008 when Henny was doing more rotations than anyone. I can assure you he can set spins up there with the spinniest of the spinners

#Facts

Your right Mr. Imlach, I only got into skiing in 2010 youre right but...

Im not saying dollo cant spin im just saying I think AHall has the pencil spin advantage for low rails

Sorry lol

There’s a rapper named rich homie quan

Quinn/quan kinda go hand in hand I’m sure that’s how it came to be

Imo it's more of a reference to the song "hit the quan"
 
Perhaps irrelevant at this point, but does anyone else think Hugo got screwed by the ref in his game against A Hall?

Hugo landed the 1170. It wasn’t perfect, but it was in control. Idk, seems like it was kind of an unfair call.

Of course it evolves, but you have to have good style to begin with. You can't evolve style if you don't have it to begin with. Jossi and Magnus have been dripping in it since birth. Sure they have changed it up over the years, but its always been built off of a base that is made of natural steeze. You either have it or you don't. In my opinion, Hunter Hess's style is garbage. Sue me kids

I agree hunter doesn't have very good style.. but fuck does the kid have some skills..

now there is literally no argument you can have against armada being the most stacked team out there. fuck so stoked rn for quan

Umm ever heard of Faction??? I'm not going to say one team is better, but with Candide, Delorme, Ahall, Antti, Duncan, Hanka and the rest they can certainly five Armarda a run for it's money
 
I am entirely torn on who to root for but I feel like there is no “bad” outcome in this final.

Go Armada Woo! Haha

Both equally stacked I'd say, Armadas just got that style tho

Everyone forgets K2 aswell. You got Joss Christensen (SLVSH GOD), Kai Mahler (Style God), Jake Carney (Send/Style God), Sean Pettit (does he ski anymore?), Dylan Sondrup, Sean Jordan, Pep Fujas, Colby Stevenson, Joona Kangas, Birk Irving, Christian Nummendal, Knut Fineld. This is a pretty stacked team if you ask me

Definitely stacked as well, there are so many good skiers today that it is almost hard to not have a stacked team. As far as having the most legends on a single team though, I'd give that cake to Armada, literally a team of legendary names in skiing.

Carney is on ninthward I thought, at least he was on his instabanger

I feel like I'm the only one who tries to avoid looking at the time, so I don't know when it ends!

agree

also, as far as slvsh goes, i feel like i would have a serious hard time remembering all the tricks on a 3 rail/jump line with multiple variations. I'd be like like, "what? say all that shit again?"

I've just completely given up on paying attention to the sets so I'm just watching if they land and do the same thing + watching the green and red. It's much easier for them to remember sets when they have the features before their eyes IRL than just watching talking heads!

Haha same. I block the bottom of the screen with my arm. But then you can't really go back to rewatch anything because then it might spoil the ending.

I wouldn't even remember the tricks I've set...

TYW, THALL, Bdog , quan , sammy c , hornbeck

Every. Single. Set.

Last one sober enough to preform the trick wins

Couple of my friends used to do drunk all 8. Have a shot/drink after each one, try to get all 8. Leave the easiest ones for last but it's still damn hard 5-6-7 drinks in lol

I do the same thing haha I'll even try to purposefully blur my vision when switching to full screen etc. then I just rewatch stuff once it's over
