SLVSH

darticus_primeColby will easily win if vinny doesn't keep the set for super long. Vinny won't keep up with stuff like sw unnat 4

dbchiliHunter is a good ref to watch.

DaquanoucheaLol no one is beating vinny. He can match every traditional trick and then if he needs to get a letter he can just throw some nutty venom grab or some shit haha

AlmostCoolerVinny looked hella solid this game, his rail tech is really good on defense. Wonder why he wouldn’t go for the dub 10, he’s definitely no stranger to big air

Flip4FunVinnie has said before he doesn't do Dubs outside of comps.

skimoresw1tchBecause of the risk factor? How does he practice them?

ColingarnesEirik Moberg should be in slvsh next year.

BrawnTrendsThey should have a SLVSH Cup of Legends. With OG skiers competing like a in regular cup but the prize money goes to a charity of their choice (POW, the Shane McConkey fondation, Alpine Initiatives, etc.)

Obviously the people everyone would like to see compete are Candide and Tanner, but who else would potentially (and realistically) be able to partake? JF Houle (he already played a super fun game last year), Delorme? Dumont? TWall?

ColingarnesAndreas Håtveit would destroy everyone.

ColingarnesCurrently I think Andreas has the edge. He is looking fire and TWall is coming back from injury.

LimonovYou can add Jon Olson.

And a backcountry battle between Eric Pollard & Pep Fujas.

THUGwifeReally not sure about that opp carve cork 3...

Billiards.Finn was not carving when he took off.. It's hard for me not to biased because Ferdinand might be my favorite skier to watch rn, but there were some seriously sketchy calls against him. Finn is good no doubt, but there isn't anything I really enjoy about his style so I am bummed he gets to move on purely from the perspective of I'd rather watch Ferdinand ski.

_moneyFinn called almost everything to the right instead of unnatural. Some of these calls are getting a tad bit too loose

hootsquadfinn and ferdi both spin right naturally

ColingarnesThe real OGs do. Left foot forward on rails too. I dont get how tf you guys do it otherwise.

john18061806he called anti-carve not opp carve meaning no carve on the takeoff.

Billiards.You know what meant by anti carve. He did it wrong. And if he specifically called not carving on a cork three than he's actually whack.

john18061806he called anti-carve not opp carve meaning no carve on the takeoff.

THUGwifeAh my bad. Didn't even realise this was a trick. The way he turned slightly left before going straight and then spinning to the right threw me.

Swandog7Almost had to stop watching after Finn got that call on the R5 tail tap... wouldn't have even called that good on defense

john18061806Yeah it was a pretty sus call. I feel like a lot of the calls went Finn's way but he was absolutely dominating that game no question about that. As much as I love Ferdi, Finn was the clear winner of that game no doubt about that. I'm really excited to see Colby vs. Vinny and see one of those guys go up against Finn. It'll be a game for the books.

But can we get some hype for Ferdi's dub 7?? that was the most proper axis I've seen since Frej Jonsson did the first one at JOI back in 2012. It wasn't a whackass chest down dub flat 7 that everybody and their mom seems to do these days, no, that was a LEGIT dub cork 7.

eheathIn the end it's up to the skiers if they want to call it L/R or unnatural. In the grand scheme of things, if you're doing a unnatural trick that's more difficult than like a cork 7 or 270 on, it's in the skiers best interest to claim it as unnatural, then if the opponent spins the other way naturally, they have to try the trick the hard way too.

In the end, the level of skiing in the SLVSH cup is beyond having a weak unnatural side, most of these guy can do basic tricks both ways and likely will succeed on harder tricks no matter what direction. There are tons of different variables in this situation and for the most part skiers spin the same way naturally, but it's always different each game and I would expect the distinction of L/R or Nat/Unnat is depended on the skiers.
