SLVSH
- Thread starter theslvsh
- Start date
Super underwhelming Slvsh cup so far. Alex Bellemare and Wolf was better the second time I watched it. Also helped I watched it right after I watched game 2. Can't wait to see some of the bigger names. Still mad respect for Slvsh and everything they do for the sport!

You have to remember that at a certain level it's not what tricks people can do (because they all can pretty much do everything within 1 to 2 tries), but who has the set and who chooses their tricks better.
It's sick that this game of skiing has got to the point like high level games of skate where everyone can essentially do (or figure out in their head and attempt) every trick. Now it comes down to trick choice and execution. I find it much more exciting when the games are matched like this and not just about who has the crazier trick.

The rule is there to prevent someone from getting beaten 5-0 without having had a chance to set a trick. It only switches after 3 letters if the other person hasn't set a trick yet. Since Emil started the round and fell, it didn't apply, since he already had a set

I agree, to a certain extent.
There are guys in this cup that couldn't lace a 6 on 2 out both ways first try back to back like dollo just did. That 4 on nose was another one which would have gotten most people i think. I do think Emil could have done a bit more damage if he kept his set off the bat, he is crazy good.
You also have to remember that Dollo has been lapping this (his) park for years now, and would have by far the most crazy/technical lines on every other rider there.
Either way, I can't wait for these games to keep rolling out. Thank you SLVSH for keeping a washed up old-waver like me interested!

My takeaway from that Henrik/Emil game was that Henrik loves freeskiing more than I ever could have imagined. Talking about what segments songs he was listening to were from is cool, but something as oldschool as any Craig Coker segment is amazing.

Unpopular opinion maybe but, anyone think this comp might be heavily sided towards Henrik? Not bashing him. Obviously, he's extremely good, but, the park was built specifically for him and he's been lapping that park for the last who knows how many weeks/months.. He knows each feature better than anyone so I feel like most tricks people will call on him he could have tried on that feature already giving him extra practice compared to everyone

I think that while Henrik has been skiing this park a ton they have been doing a SLVSH cup there for the last few years so it makes sense for them to go back and on top of that Henrik has to be one of the most highly requested skiers to do a game of SLVSH so it was probably just easiest for them to get him to compete if he was already going to be at the park for other reasons.

Yes there's the "it's his park" factor, he's at home, it's maybe a little easier for him. But damn...
Emil is already such a solid skier, and to see him getting letter after letter like that, it really puts everything into perspective on how insanely talented Dollo actually is.

Surprised SLVSH doesn't have a naked lap rule if you don't get any letters. Think this should be instituted.
