Gnarshmallow Flip ups are getting out of hand

In the COC contest almost every edit has flip on, 360 flip up, flip off, we might as well be playing SSX tricky and taking off our skis on wild double flips

i had a flip up in mine that i submitted early on but wish i didn't now, cause they're awful


[BP]'s run is sick as hell, and tech with all realistic but sick tricks, this should be what all the runs are like

Yeah I agree. I think it has to be realistic to win, not just everything stomped and not all dub cork 16's and flip ups and stuff. Like not too many people do 450 on, its usually like 90 on, 270 off

Are you seriously complaining about skiing style in Gnarshmallow?  I mean, it's one thing when everyone bitches after the X-games, but for God's sake it's a flash game on the internet.

not tryin to hate but your missing the point, the point is to see who can do the best without anything edtited and the best doesnt need to be realistic, because everyone can do realistic things in it
remember its a game, not real ife, there other contests for real life skiing

I haven't entered the COC contest but I was the third person to post a video (including COC entries and edits just for fun) of a flip-up. After my video I've seen like 10 COC entries with flip-ups. I'll agree its getting a little out of hand. But hey, if they wanna trick them. Let them trick it.

It would be cool if you ahd to submit an edit of yourself skiing, along with the gnarshmallow video.  Then the person's tricks in the game are the closest to what they do in real life could win.

LMAO at this thread.  Its like the whole style vs. tech debate and people won't accept other peoples opinions and will just keep arguing because they think they know better

Guys the sport we all love and adore is progressing way to fast for any of us to handle. the few that are leading the ranks are so far ahead of us that we are honored to be graced with their edits and amazing talent, but its gotten to the point where when i get to the top of my run and am watching these amazing people i just feel so terrible and its not fun anymore. Keep gnarshmallow fun guys and vote for no more flip ups!!...................................................................but seriously why make this thread?
