One of the best (if not the best) segments of the year. Switch cork 7 redirect is absolutely absurd, craziest thing to happen in a park shoot since Simon jumped over a running zaugg (maybe even crazier than that).

Honestly, I respect what Pettit did/does...but I think PBP got the order wrong with the last two segments of WE.

Sometimes the order of movies isn't based on talent (note bobby was first, sean was last...)

Its not all about order, but first and last should be the best two seggys. no one disagrees with that.

I understand it's based a lot on popularity/stardom....doesn't change my opinion. When I watched the movie the first time, after what Karl did to that feature, I just kinda lost intrest in what Sean was doing (not saying it was sick, cause Sean certainly kills it, but the high point of the movie had clearly already been reached). It was kind of unfair to Sean in a way, cause it took away from his segment (for me at least).

Huge segment, only caveat is the repeated features with Powis.

I totally agree with that. But, think about who sponsors bobby, who sponsors sean and who is the title sponsor of the movie....

it gives you wings... and openers and closers. not to mention Salomon and K2 aren't far behind Red Bull on the Poor Boyz sponsor list.

Karl's segment is sick as hell, but I'm going to assume you missed the last three shots of Petit's segment.  The switch rodeo 5 he does is absurd.

Glad PBP posted this segment though.  Karl absolutely killed it and everyone should see it.

I loved the segment and think Karl's gonna continue to kill it down the road. Killing it on one feature doesn't guarantee you a closing seg though, regardless of what went down. He'll have a closing segment one day, and it'll be a good one at that.

I agree the way Karl's seg ended and the music for sean's seg made it seem like the movie was over. Sean should have been before Karl.

Unreal skiing, great filming. Not stoked on the editing, but hey, win some lose some. Such a sick season for KF, can't wait to see more in the future.

I guess if you like LSM's skiing more, then sure but karls segment is undeniably insane. I bet 75% of the tricks karl did LSM wouldnt even try... Just saying. If you like LSM more thats fine, thats your opinion.

Yep, LSM and Karl are not really that comparable. If we are going by sheer gnarliness and all round shredding however, Karl's seggy is undeniably better though. But thats not what LSM goes for in his skiing, so they aren't really comparable.

yes Karl goes super gnarly and big, and everytime i see a video of him skiing it looks like hes just fucking charging around the mountain like a boss.

Still Karl probly wouldnt try 75% of LSM tricks, let alone even imagine tricks like LSM does.

Which is why they aren't really comparable, I'm not even sure why this comparison was brought up, Karl is just a gnarly all-round skier, hitting huge features, whereas LSM is more of a chill, layed back stylie and creative skier. Totally different skiers pretty much.

Its like comparing Cam Riley to Andy Parry, just totally different skiers and styles.

LSM's tricks are just different. Karl could for sure do them. that being said LSM is a fun skier to watch

Lucas Stål-Madison, he won Superunknown...which is why it's COMPLETELY IRRELEVANT to the original post cause it's two COMPLETELY different skiers, with COMPLETELY different styles, filming with two different companies (Karl with PBP, LSM with Level1) so why they're being compared here is beyond me.
