this is from freeskier.com

"..Calculation error? Well, maybe. Ninthward scoring them a 0 after four teams posted Salomon a 10?"

anybody know the story behind this?

the zero didnt count because they didnt count the highest and lowest score, they got what they got.

no, ninthward hated on every team other than armada, because they hate on any company that isn't """core"""

way to go 9thward, really great for our sport...

Everyone scored ninthward low because they didn't ski well.

ninthward scored everyone else low because the other companies aren't core.. except armada. for example, giving salomon a 0. had nothing to do with the skiing.

i was there.

age: 30
how much I know about skiing: everything

there ya go, dcrew.

yea nobody really watched 9thward, i still dont think anybody knows how ridiculously max destroyed that first flat rail, or that tosh did all four ways of 450s off in a run, and that every way was better than any other 450s by anybody... anyway, salomon gave them the lowest score out of everybody, by atleast 2 i think... but then they went and did cab 10s...

o and also there was this whole thing before the masters about how salomon told orage that they better not be setup next to 9thward because they would fight... or something

all this cab 10 talk is nonsense. how many cab 10s did they do? maybe one? fuck man, they seemed to be having a pretty good time!

everyone was watching ninthward, and two dudes definitely crushed it. but their girl did nothing (maybe more than kristi) and compared with the other teams, they weren't that rad.

def did not get scored bad just because they're a bunch of retards.

biggest inferiority complex ever!

on a different note: are you sure that the highest and lowest scores were dropped? or was that just what you were told?

i think that didn't happen.

With the exception of Ninthward (who spray painted obscenities on the half pipe in front of them and threw empty beer cans onto the course after getting kicked out in the first round) the spirit brought to Mammoth by all the teams, with their elaborate costumes, decorated home bases and exceptional skiing made this the best Masters yet.

^the sport needs more companys like them

its been mentioned a million times now, salomon graded ninthward completely unfairly in the first round which made ninthward not make it, and they told the orage people not to put them next to the 9th booth, hatin on them. 9 doesnt stand for that gay shit

why are kids being such fuckers?... it is JUST A SKI COMPANY. that happens to make dope skis, have dope riders, and maybe smoke some weed and listen to rap... why the fuck do you keep bringing this back up... the orage masters is just a fuckin comp were the riders go to have fun, when the nine gives another team a zero for cab tenning, i say more power to them, it matter so so so little

Who cares 9thward is a joke only 14 year old white kids from suburbia that try to justify dressing like gangsters like them because their loser hero Mik D is what they aspire to be.

Put it too rest, and cab 10s are getting played out comp wise. I saw casco's rev mute to truck in the robot trailer. Thats new, and i imagine 9thward threw down and got robed... fuck haters.

ur an idiot, ahmet is the man. Before Ahmet was on Ninthward, my image on Ninthward, was that they are a bunch of wigers. But when Ahmet was put on their team I gained a whole lot of respect, because I know that Ahmet isn't just a thug, hes also a nice kid...
My opinion of Ninthward stands nuetral, I still think that the whole Ninthward Salamon thing isn't good, but whatever there problem is, its beetween them.

i dont think you have to be on the ninthward team to realize that its stupid when someone says the only kids who like ninthard are the 14 year old suburban wigers.. so you should probably try letting your balls drop and grow a few hairs on those nuts before you go throwin around words like that

sure im on the ninthward team, but you really dont have to be too be smart and realize how stupid you people are, like i already said, i dont think you can see the valid argument i mentioned above because you already have your mind made up, tell me why in the first place you had to call me out saying that i am bias, just tell what would make you even bring that up from what i said

keep killin it ninthward. i know for a fact those boys are throwin the techest shit with style and i could care less how they act outside of it. although the image is kinda sick how its different. the silly stuff will pass and ninthward will receive the props they deserve. keep throwing it down dadali and the ninthward team. who gives a shit about the haters.

is the second part the valid argument? so you think salomon graded them unfairly. i was there at the comp and my overall impression of them was that, yeah a few kids were throwing down, but not the whole team. i don't think they deserved to be in the finals. i'm not sure what salomon gave them, but o well. both teams just need to grow up. that's pretty stupid if salomon did say "they told the orage people not to put them next to the 9th booth".

giving saloman a 0 is kinda harsh but a switch 10 fest over a 30ft table? thats just rediculous for the "anti-comp". i can see where judges should be looking more towards style in a comp like this and especially consistancy. i wasnt there so i cant be too sure but i think thats the major factor in this.

i dont see why there is so much hate genorated towards ninthward because they have a "gangsta" appearance. It seems everytime i go in the park half the kids are acting "gangsta" not to mention almost every snowboarder. It isnt ninthward you hate its popular culture. And as far as protesting salomon, it sounds lame but i wasnt there so who would care about my opion. yes thats right, to all the kids who say fuck ninthward, your posts are immature and disregarded by anyone with any respect for skiing. Everyone needs to grow up and stop getting in stupid dramatic fights over what team doesnt like who, or what syle is the best or what tricks are overdone/beat. its all unessisary. on the other hand i am guessing that this post will not be read because it is over one sentance long and i doubt that some of you can read very well.
