Vars Tournament (S.K.A.T.E. competition)

thanks for the sharing, I was watching them on skipass 2mins ago. What a nice and original contest with some of the coolest skier.. can't wait to watch the others videos
 
yea!.. Torin is the man! I probably took a big break after the big crashes in the backcountry jumps.. the kid is strong and determinated!
 
P-White vs TYW was definitely the best one (loved P-White's 180 Frontflip haha).

The 2 others quarter finals are Henrik Harlaut vs Antti Ollila and Gus Kenworthy vs Phil Casabon.
 
their videos load so incredibly slowly. Was liking how they were doing it on the backcountry booter. sucks they weren't landing anything
 
apparently harlaut is in it. he'll destroy everyone no doubt, all he has to do is go first and no one would stand a chance if he was calling out some of his crazy weird tricks
 
Really. Well first of all Gus won, so there's that. Second of all I think Gus really held his own when it came to some of the more Casabonesque tricks, I really enjoyed seeing such different skiers battling it out, probs to both!
 
Vars Tournament is so sick. I wish there were more of these comps. Imagine X Games S.K.A.T.E. live on ESPN. It'd be so sick.
 
I'm currently in Vars, I live about 30min from it so that's my home mountain. That's a huge thing for Vars and its notoriety as a Park Resort destination in Europe. I'm happy to see it welcoming the big guys, especially after X games, everybody is pretty stocked, especially both TYW and McRae !!
 
i could maybe agree somewhat but you gotta give it up to gus tho for staying with him on the rails and not just taking it to him by throwing every dub imaginable. and that switch cork 5 screamin japan?
 
Semis were Henrik vs McRae and Torin vs Gus.

Henrik and Gus won, and Gus won the final. Videos should be uploaded on Skipass.com in the next hours or tomorrow.
 
In the Gus v Phil game, on the lip tail press back 2 at 3:53, theres no way Gus got the tail press, and Phil barely did. If it was Stept skate on snow they would've called it because they're usually more careful with the press calls. Regardless, props to Gus for not pulling out dubs (which he probably could've easily won with) and still getting the W.

this contest is so sick. surprised it flew under the radar up until now, considering prize money is $25,000+ USD. Can't wait til Henrik/Antti goes live.
 
@Mathieu.fr

I can't believe you just fuckin did that, what the hell were you thinking! Good work on ruining it for the rest of us, douche!
