I know it's a quick bit of fun, but doesn't Zero promote spinning to win?

got me thinking.... maybe an urban game of slvsh could be played. at SLC rail gardens or another zero bust and low pressure spot. although that would take awhile if riders had to build their features for creative hits.

While rail garden looks fun, it seems like it's a bunch of down rails that aren't that long. There's more trick options in a park, which is much more entertaining for a game of SLVSH.

That is correct. Everyone knows those guys are great skiers, but seeing them go trick for trick all day long was crazy. These guys are next level. Better get a ticket for this hypetrain before they are sold out.

Depends on the skiers. If they have a similar bag of tricks yes. You would've liked to see LJ and Will hit jumps?

Can we make it natural vs unnatural when calling direction as apposed to left and right. I don't know pro skiers natural way of spinning. So I think if you said 'skier one spins right naturally' it would be great and give more knowledge of the riders

I think fuck rules and the riders can do whatever they want, but if I had to choose I'd choose left/right. It's just simpler, I don't wanna think while watching skiing...

There have been games where this happened, I can't remember who it was but they called natural 270 on or unnatural 270 on and each rider did it differently.

Yeah, usually when the two spin opposite of each other they'll say unnatural or bad foot/way or hard foot/way or something like that. But if they both spin the same way they got with left and right.

Ideally, you shouldn't need to know which direction a pro skier naturally likes to spin or grind. Sure, they probably like to learn a trick in one direction, but, they should eventually know every trick they can do in every direction. This hasn't been recognized in skiing until recently and it still isnt a common mentality. I think we were influenced a little too much by moguls, where a L7 to an R7 is a considered a repeat trick, and we were not influenced enough by snowboarding where it matters more that you can do all four 5's over being able to do a front 10 but only a back 3. So, we'd like to move towards being complete skiers, not mogulists/aerialists.

However, we have had a couple discussions about this. I do remember labeling some tricks unat just because some people spin/grind different ways. (example; Player A spins Left, grinds Right and Player B spins Left, grinds Left) some tricks become increasingly harder for one player over the other and they can just try to do every variation and exploit that weakness. But, unless someone is obviously doing that, we will probably shy away from labeling it that way.

TL,DR: learn every trick in every direction.

Yeah doesn't Evan spin right naturally? Kinda unfair if he's doing natty flat 9 and the other guy has to do unnatty. I doubt there's more than 20 people in the world who can do that trick both ways.

I get the whole do your tricks both ways thing but every skier does have a natural direction and it does influence the difficulty of the trick. 100% for calling shit natty and unnatty vs. left and right. I think that promotes both way tricking even more than having to call left or right

I've seen some skiers that prefer spinning right onto rails, and who spin left on jumps, like Shay Lee and Sean Jordan. I understand that they might prefer a right 2 if they land natural, but I'd need an explanation with the fact that those 3 prefer doing a right 4on, when they spin left on jumps.

I would love to see a game in the BC or in some trees or something. It would be cool to see Pollard go up against Pettit or something sending cork 3's both ways off cliffs and whatnot. Might have to make it a shorter game or something but it would be interesting to see more comps like this in the pow

I could believe that, considering games out the park would take considerably more time. Either they went back another day or played with less letters, if they spent all day filming then they'll still have a lot of material.
