SLVSH

Not saying it should or shouldn't, but I think that judges in fis/xgames count it as a make as long as you show control and don't revert immediately if it's the last booter.

This cup has got me catching SLVSH fever, going back and combing through old games to see if there are any I haven’t watched yet. Just found this and it’s definitely in my top 5 all time

Maybe you missed my point, I’m just saying the judge (and one of the best we can all agree) is there for this exact reason. And he says it counts.

If you mean generally speaking, I would have to lean towards if you rode away and it was basically an equipment malfunction, then yes it should count. That’s just my 2 cents though.

Your logic says someone could win slvsh by landing 5 tricks, all of which their ski came off but they didn't fall over. Woodsy's logic as well.

Unless specified otherwise absolutely yes. If you land a cork 7 but rip a ski off with a mute grab and land and ski off on one ski it should absolutely count

why in x games/FIS everytime someone loses a ski they call it a crash run? are they wrong?

People would've said that about JOSS too. But if you knew how JOSS played out, you would know how short sighted your statement is.

How did JOSS play out?

I think that after people put in mad work, it got pretty competitive, and when the judging went terribly (the year team canada won) people were pretty pissed off, rightfully so.

I get your point, but this isn't X-Games or FIS, and that's the best part, it's everything we love about skiing for the most part, just a bunch of guys going out, having fun, hyping each other up, and putting a competitive spin on it. I think this particular call we're arguing about was a little sketch cause if i remember correctly there was kinda some revert/shuffle type stuff going on, but as someone said before, if you ripped your ski off with a grab, but you ride away cleanly it should count, unless it keeps you from completing the rest of the line, but in this case it didn't. Also Woodsy's a dope ref.

What other team had a shot of the macarena on a box? I remember it being more of an issue when Symms and Colby West won with 'My Friend is a Pro'-Simon and Wallisch were butthurt. Pretty sure neither were the reason JOSS ended though. I think Jon Olsson just moved on. It was a pretty crazy logistical feat to pull off.

Wrong, its defense in a game of slvsh> would you play a game of skate and someone stomps their trick an a wheel falls off the board so its considered not a make? fuck no. Defense is always reffed different than offense.
 
a few loose calls in hugo vs finn. But another sick game... was surprised to see hugo get another chance at the 10 lead stale mid game because of miss understanding the call: never seen that before! Either way the ball doesn't lie

Honestly could care less though I just love watching these guys throw down for fun and push eachother's skiing

lol, the contrarian population on NS is high af.
 
Sad to see Hugo go, especially with the loose grab calls on Finn’s part :( but still a fuckin banger of a game and Finn is a beast, excited for the coming games

totally agree that reffing should be looser on defense. Maybe not with some standard shit like a 2 on pretz 2 out but when you have guys trying sketchy stuff for the first time, a little shuffle on the landing, or a small backslap or hand touching should be allowed as long as the trick was completed correctly and they rode away. If you tried your first ever cork 7 and landed a little off balance and put your hand out a little to stabilize yourself would you not go tell all your friends you landed a cork 7? Don't need to stomp tricks for them to count IMO, especially on defense.
 
I have my doubts that finn grabbed on the dtp sw cork 3... but hugo's was easily the most insane axis I think I've ever seen

Kinda silly to say Oscar is a better skier. I'm not saying Vinnie is a better skier than Oscar either tbh, although Vinnie has a more innovative approach and seems less comp focused. There aren't many (if any) big air jumps that have matched that kind of technicality to this day.
Click to expand...

Vinnie is definitely a more innovative skier I can't argue that, although in a different since Oscar is a bit more innovative than the average comp jock, Have you seen his switch dub backflip blunts? Fucking fire. But he is after all a comp skier and can throw all kinds of unat dubs, both way rail combos and so on. If he had got the set back and started throwing down the kind of tech rail lines that we've been seeing in the other games, or just going buck off the jump with all kinds of dubs, Vinnie would have been finished.
 
Couldn't believe the ref wouldn't give Hugo a pass on that last attempt. Hugo was on defense, at match point and finn had a pass for a very similar "touch" on the sw cork 3. But hey it's whatever, very good game nevertheless.

Orange and apples. Feel free to elaborate though.

Subtle shade on Finn for calling that last switch dub to the right, which I believe is his natural direction to spin switch and Hugo's unatty. Seems like a low blow and it would have been more sportsmanlike to differentiate the spin direction between left/right and nat/unatty.

I guess i'm just kinda bummed Hugo is out :(
 
Finn and Hugo was a hard one to watch as I really like both of them.

Reffing was a little odd in this one and i can see why Hugo fans are kinda bummed at this one.

Now how awesome is Tasei and Colby gonna be???
 
Also Hugo didnt look back for shit and they gave it to him which would be fine had Finn not just dropped one of the nastiest look backs right before.

Im pretty sure Hugo spins right naturally? Watch his past games - every trick he calls without specifying direction is spun to the right.
 
Does anyone else feel like the riders aren't using the entire park during the slvsh games? Like the horseshoe rail was only called once by jesper and I havent seen anyone use the blue wall ride or the down c rail. Plus I feel like I've seen the black down to donkey and then the flat to down like 5 times in each game. Are these rails just too hard to do tricks on and they dont want to lose their set?

it would be sick if the guys both kept calling the same trick on big c rail until someone got it and then go back to playing a normal game.

That's why this video Jesper just put out is so satisfying to watch, and I normally don't like POV park footage. He saw the demand and delivered.

Yeah that video is what made me think about it cuz there were so many rails that jesper hit that I was like oh shit I totally forgot that was even in the park this year
 
How can one be so consistent in doing ridiculous spins off of rails. Like seriously Taisei looked like he had no trouble throwing an 11 off a rail, but either way switch 4s got to him. Great game Colby showing some good stuff
 
Taisei = spin on/off specialist

Colby= control and experience

Wasn’t a hard call for me, but I guess it was cool to see how many spins are physically possible off an up-rail..

Seemed like he could have done a 1350... insane
 
Gutted ahall isn’t in this year, after seeing what he did on that cannon last year it would be cool to see if he could’ve stuck with taisei on his big spins
 
Colby was definitely more tech, but Taisei was coming close to a lot of the tech grabs. In a game of slvsh he might not get them, but give him 3 or so tries and he has it.

yea those carved dubs off the qp in the first game required no edge control and air awareness at all.

I’d actually say taisai did t look consistent at all. I feel like this game really showed how he’s pretty much only has spin outs and can’t do anything else.
