J_Steezbettttt, why go to the slvsh cup if you're worried about injuries?


Why go anywhere if you're worried about injuries? Not really an argument IMO hunter was just in the xgames (slvsh cup was b4 x) and he was probably thinking "I have the opportunity of a lifetime next week, ima pass on this trick"

If siver would’ve called a couple more tricks on that elbow rail and kept the ball in his court I think he would’ve had that game.. vinny had some good defense on those future spins tho, can’t blame siver on not getting some of those unicorn grabs vinny calls

might be unpopular but I don't really enjoy watching games with Vinnie in them. He got three letters on Siver on uninteresting grab variations that weren't exciting to watch play out.

This is fax. You've gotta land with impeccable balance to pull that off, and it looks so goddamn good.

Was going to post this exact thought. I love the guy but, in most games, he just sort of holds on by a thread to then play his wacky grab cards when he needs to. I wish Siver would have gone for the kill before that predictable end.

I dunno man, it's not like he is spamming weird grabs, he only called 2 tricks with what is arguably a "wacky" grab: venom and mutant and both on low rotations, so I think he gave Siver a fair shot at getting those tricks, it didn't seem unfair to me.

Yep. He called 2 unique grabs that I personally wouldnt call crazy tech. Nothing over 540. I feel like those calls are within everyones skill set, especially on nothing bigger than a 5. Im a huge fan of vinny, and his unique and very relaxed approach to skiing. H'es out there to have fun. Well deserved win with some great defense.

Honestly what the fuck is wrong with people hating on obscure grabs? You know who wins games of skate? Guys who pull weird late back foot flips. If you want to win at slvsh get good at weird grabs. If it's unfair then slvsh should make rules about it, but that's just dumb. Only weird thing was the pre-cuban 180. Maybe there should be rules for that stuff. But what do I know.

Also, I never saw any hate when Henri pulled a goalie slide as the last trick against Elias a few years back. Not the slvsh cup, but still. Same idea, even harder/more obscure.

Also, just going to edit in that most of you guys aren't hating on him too hard in this thread. The YouTube comments are more harsh though

The game could have gone either way, Vinnie has some crazy grabs not many people can do and siver has insane swap and rail tricks very few could land. Really it could have gone either way.

Posting this before I watch Siver vs Hunter - Interested to see how this goes down. They both are kind of opposites in my mind, Hunter is a beast on jumps and Siver is a rail god. Curious what sort of tricks they will call

Siver might be competitive in the way that if homies are going big, he will be pushed to go big. But he is in no way competitive like a Hunter or Vinnie or AHall for that matter where they are willing to do the same safety trick variation that they know the competitor cannot land.

At first I was also convinced that pole tap 9 was missed but went back and frame by frame it's so close and pixelated, if ref and filmer heard it then I believe it.

Yea he barely grazed it. But he didn't "tap" it. At the end of the day it's the ref's decision though.

I've never seen anyone but Hunter call a pole tap trick. It's not like its super creative either, I mean the first time was okay but I think he called 3 pole taps that game, not including the other games this cup. Guess Siver was tired of doing them, too.
Wanted to see more rail tech from siver on the elbow too but whatevs

It’s bizarre how inconsistent what a “cork” is. I guess they’re all too corked to care.

Vinny is on another level of weird that most skiers can't reach / dont try because its wack

Bummed, quan has insane tech but could match vinny's weird.

Overall i found this slvsh cup meh, the park wasnt that crazy and a bunch of the features stayed unused.

I dunno why people are disappointed. The whole point of slvsh is to do tricks the other skier can't do. Some of his grab calls were sweet. Like the lead liu kang and nose +tail. Definitely would have been sweet to see more variety of tricks that didn't rely on grabs, but that's just not how he's going to win.

That was the game I expected, definitely not the game I waned. Stoked to see vinni win the cup! Just not really an exciting game to watch. Ref was pretty dull, quan didn't seem hyped either. Music was bland.. Vinni's stoke level was the only thing that game had going for it. All in all happy Slvsh is back and posting new games, thanks for something fun to watch!

Now cut the nonsense and get Slvsh Cup Trollhaugen to happen. Midwest level of riding would murk

Heard this as well and I honestly couldn't tell if he was joking.

On another note, Quinn's sw 7 lead liu kang and his branny were so proper. Bummed he didn't come away with the W but I have to give it to Vinny for playing on his unique advantages!

Hardquan didn't seem hyped either.

Quinn is definitely the type to be hyped on fucking sending it over landing screamin'. I wouldn't be surprised if Quinn just sort of new what he was in for going into that game after having watched Vinny ski that park all week long.

I'm just going to pretend that Quinn vs Hunter was the heavy final game I was hoping for.
