snomastersammy's trick list (to my best ability, rodeo/flat spins up for debate):
sw L5 >> pillow disaster >> L3 out
sw R180 pillow transfer
sw 180 to 360
flat 3 pillow transfer
massive pillow tap
DEEP L pow butter 3
L cork 9 tail (sw pow stomp)
L flat 9 kang (sw pow stomp)
sw R 180 >> R cork 7 safety
L cork 7 tree tap
sw L dub cork 9 poke
L dub flat 10 kang
L flat 450 tree slide
L cork 810 tree slide
L dub rodeo 14 japan (?)
R dub rodeo 14 kang
Last trick was definitely a R dub cork 10 and second to last was a L dub rodeo 10 (flat/rodeo 3 to rodeo 7)
Also the trick at 1:05 which you labeled dub flat 10 was definitely like a double misty, very odd rotation.
Also every trick you called a "kang" is definitely high saftey/bro kang. "Kang" refers to a Lui Kang, at least to me.

SessionLOL, you do realize that not everyone spams every form of social media on the daily as part of their career, right?
So not everyone has/wants a twitter or instagram acct.
Thats fine. His comment though wasn't about spamming. It was about voting. Granted its not the best system but it prevents people from being able to cheat the system.
Saga.Whats wrong with voting? It's a way to support the athletes you are hyped on.
Dear Saga,
I am a fan of your product (my jacket is on pre-order) and team, but I think offering kids a chance at winning gear for voting for your team riders is bullshit. The voting system last year basically made sure that people actually watched videos and made up their mind, some kid who just wants some pants and follows your Insta isn't an honest vote. Incentivizing people to vote for your team riders is just unfair in my opinion.

noted. Thank you. If anyone has a better idea as to how we can bring attention to our top riders hard work and give back to our fans please tell us.
I know this may come across as sarcastic and pretentious but it is not. Last year we learned that we had a really powerful fan base and used that to push Wiley to win the peoples choice. We are just trying to get the fans who support our team and our mission to show it. And reward them. Simply asking someone to vote for you is weak in our minds. We want to give something back to the people that get us to where we are. If we could give something to everyone who voted for Tim or Wiley we would. But that is not feasible.
SimplyCleanBecause the simplicity of a webpage with a poll/voting system using say...your e-mail, is much easier than having to use twitter and/or instagram.
Not everyone uses these social media mediums, including myself. I'm not going to sign up for an account just to vote either. The voting for your AD video contest got plenty voting activity and was easier because everyone has one nowadays.
DrailI don't do twitter or Instagram for one. Second - with the whole vote every day, Even if I had twitter, I'm not gonna go and vote every day so fuck it. Never have and never will get
Myself involved In contest that allows multiple votes. I don't see the logic behind it besides trying to milk more page visits and it discredits the vote numbers.
Most everyone does have these so it's easy to just link it to Twitter and instagram so that it gets seen by other people. Family and friends don't see your emails to people.
TwigNo hate, but out of interest how? It's obviously all opinion but I can't understand anyone not thinking the Sam Farvet one was one of the best few.
Meh, in my opinion there wasn't enough style there to leave a lasting impression. I'm not going to deny that he absolutely charged in his edit, but there just wasn't enough style, creativity and diversity compared to the other entries. He didn't appear to be as smooth or in control as some of the others. It was rowdy and appeared to me to be more hucked than cleanly executed. That and the music sucked.
Thought Sammy C's was the best one by far. Had the best mix of tricks and actual backcountry skiing. Some of them were just booters and what not which kinda got boring. I think a big part of backcountry skiing, along with the trick aspects, of making and flowing lines with the tricks.

That's just like my opinion man.
Really? I found exactly the opposite. In my mind, it was super creative (alley-oop 270 into right cork 5, mostly natural takeoffs at full speed, etc)
And as for style, I thought he looked like Candide bouncing around everywhere. I don't want to play favorites since I have a few friends in this contest, but I think he has an awesome chance at cracking the top 3.

I agree. The French have a very unique style. It's fast, aggressive, and bouncy. Also stoked to see mostly natural takeoffs. A lot of the other guys didn't have that.

The creativeness he showed, and Candide also has, really is remarkable. I love seeing different people from all over the world put their style on natural features.
Saga.From what I believe it is all peoples choice to decide who gets the gold, silver and bronze medals. Could be wrong though.
Not quite- a panel of judges decides the gold, silver and bronze. The fan vote is for a separate winner-take-all 'gold' and I think $10 or $15k prize. Which is how last year Sammy won gold, and Wiley took fan favorite. Kind of a cool thing to give an extra opportunity for people in the contest.

This, definitely. He could use a few more clean grabs in my opinion, but overall Favret's edit brought a very welcome flavor to RealSki. Candide-esque for sure.
pussyfooterI dunno if they had to use espn music because Jacobs song was a song I heard before in tbc. Unless that song is an espn song.
They didn't have to, but most of them did. (or some other similar royalty free basic bullshit). Jacob used the JOI part song from Teddybear Crisis, which he obviously had rights to.

Thank you, I just scrolled through all 3 pages of this thread without any remark on Jacob's song until the last two posts. Not a fan of reusing usually but he pulled it off. Man, TBC had the best fucking soundtrack...
snomasterI think Dane will land on the judges podium but he needs to blend the tricks and pillow more. His edit had too much contrast between those elements.
I could give a shit about blending considering he threw a fucking BC trip.
snomasterSammy, Wiley, Sam Favret, and Schuster made it into the next round.

Damn, I'm surprised and stoked that Farvet made it. I voted for him even though I thought Sammy's was the best, because I didn't think many people would!

Ha, Sam has an entire nation pulling for him... Don't under estimate the Frenchies.
Oh and Sammy FTW. But it's tough going against the social media grain of SPY/SAGA/4FRNT as you can't tell ^^^
