SLVSH

[Aharrelson358]

No idea why I can't find it, but I've looked through every game. I'm looking for the game that was filmed at either Aspen or Alta outside of the park. One of the sets was this dope Lincoln Loop through this little gap in the trees. It was bluebird the day they filmed. Any help would be appreciated!

birk did the first real sw cork 3 in slvsh history

 

[gravel]

Super nice game with solid reffing from Cody, Birk's slash to opp spins are moneyyy $$

Solid reffing? He made a few good calls but he wasn't consistent in calling out Hunter's "corks", most of them were pretty much normal spins. It's weird because he normally has like dub 7s pretty good, but all of his ones in this game were just regular 7s

I disagree. They definitely weren't very corked, but there were for sure 2 distinct rotations. Was not a regular 7. Dub wobble 7 would be more accurate.

birks got the sauce

 

[dadi]

this boy birk needs more hype, he's under recognized and under appreciated. get this man some love

 

[Saga.]

Birk is dope

 

[IanAvery-Leaf]

that game heated tf up for the 2nd half, Hunter and Birk are damn good

 

[SofaKingSick]

crazy tricks in that game. park looked super sick too

loved the studio review on the one cork haha

 

[JohnnyDope]

Who did they call for video review?

 

[SofaKingSick]

Who did they call for video review?

Joss Christensen, one of the Slvsh creators/big dogs

 

[jjams]

Birk is too good.

 

[wameron]

Okay that was probably the worst game I've seen. Love seeing the local hill and I know conditions weren't great but just not entertaining at all.

agreed. like yeah cool concept and all, but yeeeesh.....

 

[psizzle]

not sure what was a bigger headscratcher...a matchup between a kid who can’t hit jumps vs one that can or the fact that kid was just wearing a hoodie and no goggles lmaoo

 

[north_coast]

cory lookin cold af during the intro haha

[Just_Send_It]

At least they had fun?

 

[AGOF]

Yeah not really trying to be mean but Corey just looked uncomfortable skiing. Obviously a good rail rider but just riding into things he looked out of his element

 

[Park.]

I fucked with the game based on them choosing locals that don't normally get that kind of exposure. Obviously it wasn't up to par with a normal slvsh game, but giving exposure to kids and putting out games that are more relatable to the majority of skiers is a really good thing imo. I know a couple years ago I could relate to that game a lot. Since slvsh has the capacity to get the best riders in the world on that platform, I honestly think it helped them get more of a connection with the skiers that could go into a slvsh game at that level. It also gives a good comparison to JUST HOW SAVAGE some of these skiers are. actually insane to watch games with Henny or A Hall in them.

Its not always about watching the sickest tricks in the world with the best riders. Sometimes its really cool to see some youngins going at it, especially when a ton of people have been there at some point in their lives.

Slvsh, I fuck with it. Definitely not the move to make that a consistent thing, but sporadically tossing in games with younger guys that people can relate to is cool and keeps it from being stale.

I’m all for unknown names and all of that but like come on... it’s slvsh... you’re not gonna even try a rodeo 5? Rodeo 5 is about comparable to a kfed in difficulty imo. Very basic jump trick. The game just proved Corey is a very un-versatile skier

Except those kids aren't actually springs locals...

I'm glad SLVSH is giving love to young guys.

Idk if you have hit east coast jumps, but Whis jumps are some of the best in the world. The learning curve is insane on East Coast jumps. I can barely rodeo or cork when I hit jumps on the East, but when I hit PC jumps it felt like I had training wheels. I'm not defending Corey for not being able to do a rodeo, but I am saying that trying a trick he hasn't done before on flat jumps in icy/shit conditions is whack and I don't blame him.

I live in Ontario so I’m skiing east coast conditions and flat landings all the time. For sure east coasters are generally more advanced on rails than jumps but it’s crazy how he can’t even do one of the most basic jump tricks out there for the tricks that he has on rails. I guess if you’ve never flipped before (which it doesn’t seem like he has) a day like that isn’t gonna be the day to try but it’s surprising he hasn’t got them down with the amount it seems that he skis

To be honest it doesnt even look like he knows how to ski from the way he handles himself on skis. Not trying to be a dick, dude is a monster at rails, but it looks like he should learn some basics.

Yea I was uncomfortable riding that day for sure. I was like sticking to the snow and couldn’t get speed for anything. But don’t try to judge my skiing based off of a 9 min video. I skied all mountain for years before I even touched rails.

 

[JmckR]

Seriously? If you'd done it for years you must be pretty good. any vids of said all-mountain skiing?

Sorry that's just a bit hard to believe

You sound like you're expecting extreme pow footage of the kid, hes from the mediocre portion for skiing on the east dude, he probably means he skied normally on trails and shot.

Nope not expecting anything like that. Just curious.

When I get back home for break I’ll get out the GoPro I used when I was 13 years old and post some sick east coast groomer/off trail footage. Then will you stop being jealous that I got in a slvsh game and you didn’t?

1He didn't have speed for that jump on any of his runs. 2. A rodeo 5, regardless of actual difficulty is a lot more high risk and high commitment than a k-fed. 3. Assessing risk and knowing when NOT to do something is more important than being able to execute a trick.

 

[psizzle]

Nobody is jealous, mostly just confused....I like to think you got exposed as a skier who just sets up a tripod and hikes a park rail countless times until you get your insta clip but to each their own

The amount of edge control it takes to do a lot of Iyoob's rail tricks is similar to the control you need for dynamic carving and

even billy-goating through technical terrain.

Lol there’s a difference between trying your hardest to get speed and not making it vs not trying very hard to get speed then using speed as your excuse to not try the trick

Weird flex but ok, you still prove my point

 

[hstedman]

Not all skiers have versatile skills and I don't really think that should be a reason to shit on anyone - for instance, everyone respects Wabs too and he has only ever done like 1 backflip (it was on his Instagram) but he is dirty at rails as well. If skiing to Cory means sliding rails and to me it means dropping cliffs, then that's fine for both of us.

However, I think a lot of us are disappointed, myself included, because we expect SLVSH to reward riders with a versatile skillset instead of people who are incredibly good at one unique thing and take advantage of their opponent by doing 4 front swaps on a down rail. Not to mention, a lot of the enjoyment of watching SLVSH comes from seeing riders who are way better than we are trying shit they have never even thought of trying. It's great watching riders progress in a pretty raw format that doesn't always result in them landing the trick cleanly, but we get a lot more respect for them either way.

Yea I could see what you mean by that for sure. Personally I don’t think choosing a 17 year old kid that mostly slides rails would make for a good slvsh game either. But I got the opportunity so I went for it.

Yeah I mean I suck ass at rails and if for some reason I got selected to play a game of SLVSH I wouldn't say no either although I'm sure I would similarly get shit from the NS community.

Maybe now that you go to school in Utah you should just hit Chad's and instantly redeem yourself

 

[skiP.E.I.]

Strange but true my guy. Rails (particularly technical rail tricks) Require a ton of ski/edge control, requiring highly refined movements/ fine motor skills from the toes through the feet, ankles and lower leg. The same fine motor skills and muscles, in fact, that come into play in dynamic carving and technical big mountain skiing (bricage, jump turns, hops, balancing on logs or rocks, etc).

I hit rails often. I do a lot of technical skiing. I see the overlap every day.

If it was an all around skiing slvsh without going in the park I'd feel good about my odds. If it's rails I'd get absolutely destroyed.
