SLVSH

[CharlzHub]

Joona trying to explain how to set a rodeo at the end made it sound easier than walking

 

[milo-mcsenderson]

Trying to find a SLVSH game and for the life of me can't wonder if anyone can help. I could have sworn it was like Tom Ritsch v someone like Dale Talkington (?), idk they're just the names that popped into my head, think it's Ritsch tho but can't find any of his games that are the one I'm thinking of... Think it was at Absolut Park and someone sets a switch bio 9/10 stale and whoever is defending absolutely laces it up.

Want to find this game purely to watch that trick again... pls help

 

[corona]

Are the cup games every 2nd day?

Such a sick game, one of my favorites. Also use the slvsh search plugin, it's really helpful in situations like these

You sir, are a fucking hero.

Did not know about the plug-in, was searching on youtube...

Dylan Sondrup was on the tip of my tongue and in my head that was Dale Talkington... similar enough I guess

EDIT: I always forget how lovely Ritsch's accent is when he speaks English

Yeah, not all slvsh games are on youtube for some reason.

 

[firecrotch]

jeezus that was gas, alexi was so clean on some of those first hits and anttis run was unreal

 

[BrawnTrends]

As expected, the locals are bringing the fire. Never lose your turn to Antti.

 

[cheerio]

Seriously thought Alexi could win the whole cup after the first few letters.

Sick game

Side note: Anti looks like a fisherman

 

[C.Wood]

Looked like Antti grabbed safety when he was supposed to grab japan on the rodeo 5.... TSN turning point

 

[Just_Send_It]

Antti for the W

Safety was called it was mislabeled on the screen

 

[oldworld_newlife]

I love slvsh but am I the only one who isn't into

the SoundCloud-esque trap beats in the background? Would honestly enjoy silence/wind sounds more.

 

[BigPurpleSkiSuit]

Wasn't the last call 270 to switch? And technically didnt Alexi do a 270 to switch, even though he added another rotation in there shouldn't that have counted?

the call was 270 to switch but to do it properly you have to stop your direction of spinning and scissor to land switch, which is harder than continuing the rotation and doing a front 2 out. I get what you're saying but it's two totally different tricks.

that game was crazy. Anti and Alexi ski so fast and smooth, could have watched this game go on for days.

 

[thebusiness19]

I’ll start this with a popular opinion that I wholeheartedly agree with - Slvsh to skiing is almost like the iPhone for cellphones. Serious game changer and I honestly don’t know where skiing would be without it.

Unpopular opinion-Slvsh humor is just the worst. Jokes like “brag” , “cork”, and “guacamole” that keep coming up are just painful. I mean seriously their making all these shirts now it’s just getting out of hand... It’s almost gotten J Skis bad.

Again, small complaint and really small price to pay for the biggest content pump in all of skiing. Just my 2 cents

 

[BrawnTrends]

Yea I was a little sad it didn't last longer too

 

[BigPurpleSkiSuit]

I guess its just a terminology thing

I like Slvsh not iPhones

 

[Auzy]

Mad props to the boys for throwing down for us in what looks like some real cold stormy and shit conditions.

 

[_____alfredo____]

that lip 2 to sw is debatable for sure

 

[DesertStix]

Nah they are two different tricks lol. Continuing with the rotation is much easier than stopping your momentum and riding out switch. With a 270 on, your body is moving around pretty quickly, it’s difficult to stop that mid-slide.

 

[BigPurpleSkiSuit]

I get that, but if the trick called is 270 to switch, shouldn't that mean you just have to end up going switch? I dont know, this isnt a hill i want to die on, it just seems to me that some clarification is needed because I thought as long as you got back to switch you were fine, kind of like how when there was a game at Whistler blackcomb, someone called a tree stall to switch, and one guy went straight up and down, while the other did a 360 back down to end up going switch so i thought this was the same

A SKATE purist, and in turn a SLVSH one as well, would not count the trick you just mentioned or the one from the game we are discussing now. It would be a letter.

I think in this case the "to switch" part of the call implies that you need to pretzel out. I can't say for sure because I've never done it but I'm assuming that doing a 360 to go back down switch off a tree isn't that much easier than spinning 90 the opposite direction back to switch, thats why there wasn't a letter on that call

 

[DesertStix]

The object of the game is to throw a trick that the other player needs to imitate. Imagine if you’re playing HORSE (the true origin) and you made a shot, someone else walked to an area remotely distant from the goal but not where you were standing, sunk it and said “well the shot was about as difficult and they were both within the arc so...” like nah they would get handed a letter.

 

[Lemuel]

That game was good. Both of them getting each others tricks with ease. Iffy last call, I probably wouldn't have counted Anti's but that's up to the judge!

 

[FreeFeelers]

I'm confused about the "180. blender sw lip on" call ( Siver Voll vs. Colby Stevenson 3:42). Anyone willing to enlighten me pls? In my understanding a blender is when you look over the opposite shoulder then you're spinning direction.Colby looked over his left shoulder and spun to the left (Siver same to the right). Wouldn't this be like you do a sw lip naturaly?

 

[NPF]

Haven't been following religiously, but did the mercy rule get axed?

technically, what you are saying is correct. I guess the call was just implying the way you spin the first 180 such that you have to change shoulders will on the deck of the butter pad. an actual blender sw lip would be weird for sure

if games were to be called as rigorously as you are asking, you would have to say "switch 7, not hitting the ground in between the initial spin and final rotation" when you wanna call a f***** sw 7 on a single jump

 

[BigPurpleSkiSuit]

I was just surprised because I thought that it meant 270 onto the rail and land switch, which Alexi did, not 270 on, and you absolutely have to pretzel it back to switch. Clearly I was wrong, and now I get it. I was just surprised when they ended the game was all because Alexi landed switch after doing a 270 onto the rail.

Tbh I had a similar thought but he landed 90 either way.

yeah so generally saying 'to switch' means the least rotations you can do to get there. it can make a huge difference depending on the trick;

4 on to switch: you just have to tap the rail and keep spinning, basically doing a 5 with a rail tap at the end

450 on pretz 270 out: you have to land with enough rail left, lock, stop your rotation, spin 270 out the other way.

both are landing switch, but pretty different tricks. same argument applies for a switch 450 on, but in that cause going to switch (not 270 out) is harder cause you have to land and lock with your toe edge

No, mercy rule/trivia crack is only enforced on the first setter’s first turn. So if the person who won RPS scores 3 letters on the loser during that first turn, the set swaps. In both of these games neither first setter made it that far, it was the second setter scoring more than 3 letters which is why no trivia crack.

 

[John18_6]

Antti didn't miss a single trick in that game. Damn. First and last ones were pretty sus though

Fuck I'm an idiot, he had two letters. But after aleksi lost his set the game was over.

It’s like playing horse with basketball, if somebody hits a shot nothing but net from the 3 like and you go up and hit a bank shot but still make it, you get a letter. Even though it went in you didn’t do it how the person who has the set said to do it. Same thing here, yeah he landed switch but he did a front 2 out which is an entirely different trick than a 2 to switch.

thought it was any 3 letters. thanks

I'm risking it posting in the thread before I watched the game, but is there any reason why we can't fullscreen videos on the SLVSH website? Gotta truly immerse myself in the game you know, are the ad monetization numbers better for SLVSH if we all watch on Youtube? Might be a little pedantic but I want every fraction of possible advertising revenue going back to the guys that deserve it like Walker and Lasser instead of Google

I wish they still used their own video player on the website too, now i can't watch slvsh games in school cus the youtube vids are blocked.

 

[Park_Ranger]

Watched the first 4 minutes and then stopped. Bored of watching these dudes hit the same 10 ft. jump and flat tube.

 

[Lemuel]

I gotta watch some more Max Moffet, not really familiar with him but he’s got consistency.

What is the point of shitting on slvsh in a completely unconstructive way like this? 8 pros have got together to produce what will probably be around an hour and a half of sick free content.

What exactly do you expect to happen, joss to read this and think ‘shit we gotta wrap up and move to whistler to finish the contest or else parkranger is gonna be grumpy’ It’s a small early season park, don’t watch it if you want a massive variety in features

 

[cheerio]

Sick game once again, Moff vs. Colby is gonna be good

 

[jwilly]

3/3 on my bracket thus far

Probably because they get an extra video view from people who start watching on their website then want full screen so go to youtube to watch it. More $$$.

Also great game. Max Moffat is sick.
