Would be interesting, I don't think Andreas would go do all his dubs, I feel he'd stay on the rails to equal it out!

Only person who could beat andreas is wallisch... And that seems pretty impossible ater TGP4. Wally would win with jumps tho I think, he would do super awkward crap like unnatty misty 7 saftey or something.

I think Will has a box of wizardry he stores away from public eye that he picked up from hanging with andy parry all the time. He would match Andreas best he could during standard rail tricks and then if needed, unleash a can of wizard ass

give wesson a park to create whatever he wants out of legit metal rails and then i'll accept that. andreas has just a huge advantage in that sense. while everyone else is slaying public parks, andreas can literally create the exact features he wants to do tricks.

not saying one is better than the other, just that andreas has an advantage in that way.

Wesson's done both the box AND the ring of terror.

Will is my favorite skier, but after seeing TGP4, I doubt someone has a deeper bag of rail tricks than Andreas, and a lot of those spin on/up/out that he did or Bendik or Oysten did, I've never seen Will do such combinations. He probably could, but at the moment, no one has a deeper bag of tricks than Andreas and his two friends. That being said, I think Andreas would win, and i think that the TGP vol 5 should be a game of SKATE

it would be insane. both guys are more comfortable on skis sliding a rail than walking on solid ground on their own two feet...

I think that a set of semi finals and a final would be possible to arrange, newschoolers could be the host of the game and then announce the winner as "Best rail skier in the world". put some price money in there too, would get a ton of views on all of the videos so finding a sponsor would not be to hard.

A couple of skiers that would be awesome to watch compete in this could be:
Tom Wallisch
Andreas Håtveit
Will Wesson
LJ Strenio
Vincent Gagnier
Gus Kenworthy

Setup would at least have to contain:

Flat down box/rail with flip/huckspins on possibilities
Singelrail/fatpipe with sidekicks
Cannon box/shooter rail, with spin off/flip off possibilities
And then a combo rail like up-gap-down just as in TGP4.
Also add a lots of other combos like S-rail, boxes and kinked rails

Make three videos, one from each semi final and then one from the final. Release them once a week, build some hype and get the sickest rail edits of all time produced.

PLEASEEEE DEAR ADMINS OF NS, ARRANGE THIS!!

If the game was rails only, I'd say it might be fairly close, but the way Andreas pulls out those technical tricks so smoothly its hard to think that there are many tricks Will could lay down that he can't. If jumps are included Andreas wins without a doubt

Andreas doesn't even have an unnatty way of doing tricks, both jumps and rails. I think no on will be close.

Well to be fear, Øystein the other TGP kid beat Andreas in Field Production's rail jam last year.

But game of skate, no way. You will be surprised of how many of those TGP tricks this man can do on command!

That game would be madness...not gonna lie. Will slays on rails and Andreas is rediculous in the air. That would be fun to watch.

On another note, what about a game between delorme and harlaut?

Jumps Will would get killed.

Rails? Not sure who would win. It also depends on what park your doing it at. Or if it was urban the outcome might be way different then you think.

Look Andreas is fucking good and the last edit was insane, but how many days did it take to make that? Chances are he didnt get those tricks the first time time, and one trick may have taken an hour to do. They are also in his backyard, under controlled conditions and small rails.

Give someone else like Will, Gus, Tom or really anyone who is good at rails and a week on a park like that. They will come up with some fucked up shit that is comparable to Andreas.

Take a trip to his backyard and bring the whole TC crew, make an entire episode there..? Im sure if you asked Andreas, it would be able to happen.

i think Andreas against Wallisch would be way more intense because of wallisch' jump game.

So you're arguing that Will, Gus and Tom don't have access to the right parks.. Okay.

Are you stupid? Do you think Andreas could put out an edit with those exact same tricks lapping park lane or PC? Not taking away anything from that edit because it really was one of the most insane things I have ever seen, but you have to understand how much different it is to huck tricks on rails that are a few feet off the ground in your own backyard as opposed to on the mountain. Andy was arguing that those guys really don't have access to a park that allows for them to make an edit like that.

I agree with Andy if you gave Will, Gus, and Tom the chance to session that exact same setup they would be able to hold their own against Andrea's. Who would actually win in a game skate is a toss up... they are all so good it is difficult to say who is better.
