Big props to Walker and Joss for making this happen. This might be the best thing to happen to skiing in the last five years. It will be cool to see how far they can go.

Its time to switch up the MUNDANE comp format that has plagued skiing.

How awesome would it be if all pro skiing comps were games of skate instead of stupid runs that are completely subjectively judged.

That would be SO much more exciting to watch

Also... wally clearly had an off day when he faced evan, bc joss just got torn apart
 
Laker is a pube. He is a really good skier, but something just rubs me the wrong way, about calling all tough jump tricks at the end to win a game. He looks like he's not having fun.

I'm rooting for Evan. His stoke on skiing is real.

True, dumbass calls dubs on the last letter

If Russ, Evan, Ellias, Goepper all wore the same shit I would put a pretty large amount of money on you not being able to tell them apart from the stylish skiers like Torin, Clayton, Sean, Henrik, etc,etc if they all did the same tricks.

Off course there is no actual way to test this. So I am just going to leave you with this. When Evan was just a regular newschooler, the majority of the comments on his videos where about how stylish he was. Now what has changed... His style or his fame???

hahaha......I'm not offering an opinion on whose style is good, or not, but this is dumb.

Just because you can't pick up on the nuance and subtlety of people's skiing, doesn't mean other people can't. Clothing has NOTHING to do with my perception of someone's style. I might infer things about their personality and taste in clothing (I might be wrong with that inference, but I could make it), but what they're wearing tells me nothing at all about how they ski.

You could put Adam Delorme, Nicky Keefer, Duncan Adams, Parker White, Henrik Harlaut, Tom Wallisch, Sammy Carlson, Jossi Wells, B-Mack from the Bunch, Kieran Mcveigh, Jon Brogan, Eric Pollard, and so many others in the most non-descript, unassuming shit ever, and I'm going to know it's them after a few tricks.

From how they carve jumps, how they pop, how much they prewind their arms, how upright/pencily they spin onto rails, how they do different grabs, whether they land switch looking over the continuing shoulder, or looking back the direction they spun from, how they land, whatever.

There's a HUGE disparity in people's styles, trick selection, execution, and the "personality" of someone's skiing (are they in an athletic knees bent stance all determined, or are they lackadaisical, non-chalant?), this argument that has been presented FOR YEARS that if you took skier x and skier y and put them in each other's clothes somehow the perception of them would magically change is totally bullshit, and you're actually selling the individuality of skiing and skiers way fucking short.

No one says dumb shit like "pfft....if dennis busenitz didn't wear those totally non-descript crew neck sweaters, no one would think he had good style".

Yeah, this is all based off of watching him ski for 10 minutes, which probably means that I'm the pube. I'm just not liking this trend of him beating all the people I enjoy watching with dub 1260s and shit for the last letter.

I mean you understand this is a game right? The point is to win, he and everyone else who plays do tricks they know they can do that others might not be able to. Most games of slvsh both skiers do tricks theyve never landed or maybe even tried before. Thats how the game works :)

Also, laker is a boss, you are a pube.
 
13500292:SDrvper said:
No one would be taking shit about evan if he didnt win, so just because he beat wallisch doesn't mean rip apart his skiing.

He is better than all of you commenting on him and I bet ya you wouldn't ski up to him on the hill and say "hey I dislike your style" so stop writing about it on the internet.

Aha true^ Kinda funny how many people talk shit.

Clothing has nothing to do with it? Name one skier who wears extra baggy clothing that has" bad" style.

And no you wouldn't know it's them after a few tricks. You're lying to yourself if you think you could. Brogan, mcveigh yeah probably but not Sammy or more of the neutral skiers.

And personality of the skier? Yeah because doing a blind 4 shows me how nice x skier or just how rough y skier had it growing up throwing up gang signs in his edit. Skiing isn't art, you don't express yourself.

hah i very heavily doubt youve been involved in skiing or been watching skiing for long

casual nailed it 100%

You are right, the main point of playing a game is to win. However, this is skiing, and the main point of skiing is to have fun. Really, all it would take is a clip of him enjoying himself to change my mind. So Chris Laker may be the coolest guy in the world, I don't know, but I'm going to watch him more and figure that out for myself.

Also, if I'm a pube, then you are the longest, curliest, smelliest pube of them all.

You're just wrong, about all of it.

I just typed out the names of several skiers whose style I really don't personally like who happen to wear baggy clothes, and I deleted them because there's no reason for me to criticize them, especially not at your behest.

As for these "neutral" skiers, I could pick out a Sammy "poke" on his high mutes, his flat 5 "bro kang" (the high safety where he kicks it out in front like a truck driver, but the other leg is tucked up kinda like a liu kang), the way he spins onto rails, how he spins late 180s into tranny/qp's, and on and on. Simon Dumont is "neutral" I think a lot of people would say, and he has VERY distinctive style and trick selection. You wouldn't know a dudemont truck 5 in the pipe? A cork 9 blunt? A cork 3 on a park jump all gorilla'd out?

How bout a Candide pole plant cork 7 tail grab?

And, I said a skier's clothing can lead me to infer some stuff about their personality—personality as in the "color" of the person, the flavor, how they want to present themselves to others, etc., not whether they're "nice"....c'mon dude.

Growing up rough? What the fuck are you talking about? How's that at all relevant to what I said?

My whole point in bringing up "personality" (obviously you're really hung up on my choice of word, though I bet almost everyone else knew exactly what I meant) was that a skier's style (eg. their individual/distinct movement while clicked into their bindings) is a totally separate thing from their clothing choices (which I said maybe clue us into their influences, their idea of "cool", blahblah, all the things one's clothing say about them/don't say about them, their PERSONALITY).

You're shit about how rough some skier's life is or whatever is laughable and doesn't need a response.

As for skiing not being an art and not being a form of expression, I don't know what to tell you. You're obviously very wrong, but I don't care if that's what you believe, doesn't affect me or my perception.

Can't believe I even replied to your dumb shit.

What are you even saying dude? Skiers have very distinct styles, regardless of whether most people think they have good style or not. I would know it was Sammy after one of his flat rotations. And I don't even know what you're trying to say with people having it rough growing up, Idk how that was brought into your head. And if you don't think people can express themselves through skiing, what would you call it when skiers choose to dress a certain way, ski a certain way, do specific grabs and tricks? Every choice someone makes is an expression of themselves, including skiing.

Depends which tricks they did.

That could be an interesting contest.

Riders wear the same outfit

Do one trick

Each round someone guesses and wins ski gear or money

Ski up to evan on the hill if you really have an opinion, stop writing about it people

I hate when people say shit like this. Are people not allowed to criticize the contestants online, when the contest is being broadcast online, mostly for the members of Newschoolers?
 
all the skiers are dope but they are tying to win so obviously hard tricks are going to be called. also sjw consistently has awful posts
 
Casual has it right. You put all the pros in the same outfit and have them do 3 different tricks, people in the know could tell them apart. If you think they couldn't, you don't know what you're watching.
 
No one hated on Evan when he played against Woodsy and Johan.

Ainters gonna aint.

PS: The haters wasn't all that stoked on Torin in the beginning with all that "blah blah, no style" bullcrap. Ain't seeing them around now. Oh wait...

dude if you had working eyeballs, anyone could tell the difference between these skiers. casual pretty much fucked your ass but you are high if you think otherwise. knock it off.

please stop spewing bullshit
 
Good last game. Evan's switch bio 10 was so sick.

As always, can't wait for the next game. I'm guessing there will be a bit of a wait? Or have games been played on the low down that may be posted
 
i just looked at evan's bio.... he was born in 1997

everyone just got taken by someone who just got their drivers liscence last year

well done to him

This makes me sad because im only a year younger than him and no where near as good as him.
 
laker calling left on the dub, evan matching even though it was unnat, then turns the table on laker and not even an attempt.
 
13503381:SDrvper said:
Sick game. Laker should've tried that right dub, evan did the dub 9

If you've never done a forward unnatural dub, I'm pretty sure you don't just huck it randomly...
 
13503403:Musikunat said:
but Laker has done a forward unnatty dub, it was a 12 though (@1:51):
https://vimeo.com/38286735

Also, in his comp runs he has done a right dub twelve multiple times.

I think this is the same situation as maybe russ? or someone else from the slvsh cup where they definitely could unnat dub 12 but didnt try dub 10. I'd guess that they learn 12 and cant stop? Maybe laker can chime in, if professional skier doesn't try a trick they probably aren't comfortable with it and don't wanna risk an entire ski season likely if they got hurt over one letter in a slvsh game. nah mean?
