what do you think was better?

Alex Schlopy's 1980?



or Torin Yater-Wallace's switch 1800?



I know Alex didn't land his but I still can't decide which is better. i'm thinking Torin's.

what do you think?

well what was the better trick?

like a double cork 10 is a better trick than a 180.

Negative.
Pep's 180 off that burly cliff beats Bobby's knee grab dub 10s from Dew Tour 2010 100% of the time.

think Alex's was better, he did boner out as soon as Torin but then again he didn't land it

I reckon Schlopy, the way he just increases his rotation speed towards the end is just ridiculous!

Sloppy just needs a bigger jump, look how close he was on the last attempt, shits cray! Also held the grab for so much longer, AND he dips/corks, at least like a triple wobble

Schlopy's was better because he was going further into the future

Wow. I never realized how close he was. That last attempt he basically landed. That was so fast and actually decently grabbed.

I just don't know how one could land after such fast spinning, definitely not cleanly.

I am convinced that when a skier lands a trick where the rotation is greater than the year the skier was born, it will cause a rift in the space time continuum, humans will be sucked into a wormhole and llamas will become the dominant species on the planet. They will overcome their lack of opposable thumbs by adapting discarded binding heal pieces and full tilts.

I'm going with schlopy's. So much sicker looking in the air. I'll just pretend he stomped the fuck out of it, and all will be good.

Well..... 1980 is a year, not a trick.

So if schlopy's 1980 isn't a trick,

that leaves only the switch 1800.

Idea: what if Schlopy had his skis made in the shape of a helicopter wing? He could generate massive ammounts of lift from his insane rotation speed, netting him the extra air time required to cleanly land the infamous triple 1980.
