SLVSH

ParryWithAnABig props to Walker and Joss for making this happen. This might be the best thing to happen to skiing in the last five years. It will be cool to see how far they can go.

Its time to switch up the MUNDANE comp format that has plagued skiing.

Foxxy-BangHell yeah man, I got $20 on Chris Laker taking the win

ANDR01DLaker is a pube. He is a really good skier, but something just rubs me the wrong way, about calling all tough jump tricks at the end to win a game. He looks like he's not having fun.

I'm rooting for Evan. His stoke on skiing is real.

S.J.WIf Russ, Evan, Ellias, Goepper all wore the same shit I would put a pretty large amount of money on you not being able to tell them apart from the stylish skiers like Torin, Clayton, Sean, Henrik, etc,etc if they all did the same tricks.

Off course there is no actual way to test this. So I am just going to leave you with this. When Evan was just a regular newschooler, the majority of the comments on his videos where about how stylish he was. Now what has changed... His style or his fame???

eheathlol

FUUUCKI'll take that bet! PayPal or interac e-mail money transfer?

ANDR01DYeah, this is all based off of watching him ski for 10 minutes, which probably means that I'm the pube. I'm just not liking this trend of him beating all the people I enjoy watching with dub 1260s and shit for the last letter.

casualhahaha......I'm not offering an opinion on whose style is good, or not, but this is dumb.

Just because you can't pick up on the nuance and subtlety of people's skiing, doesn't mean other people can't. Clothing has NOTHING to do with my perception of someone's style. I might infer things about their personality and taste in clothing (I might be wrong with that inference, but I could make it), but what they're wearing tells me nothing at all about how they ski.

You could put Adam Delorme, Nicky Keefer, Duncan Adams, Parker White, Henrik Harlaut, Tom Wallisch, Sammy Carlson, Jossi Wells, B-Mack from the Bunch, Kieran Mcveigh, Jon Brogan, Eric Pollard, and so many others in the most non-descript, unassuming shit ever, and I'm going to know it's them after a few tricks.

From how they carve jumps, how they pop, how much they prewind their arms, how upright/pencily they spin onto rails, how they do different grabs, whether they land switch looking over the continuing shoulder, or looking back the direction they spun from, how they land, whatever.

There's a HUGE disparity in people's styles, trick selection, execution, and the "personality" of someone's skiing (are they in an athletic knees bent stance all determined, or are they lackadaisical, non-chalant?), this argument that has been presented FOR YEARS that if you took skier x and skier y and put them in each other's clothes somehow the perception of them would magically change is totally bullshit, and you're actually selling the individuality of skiing and skiers way fucking short.

No one says dumb shit like "pfft....if dennis busenitz didn't wear those totally non-descript crew neck sweaters, no one would think he had good style".

S.J.WAnd no you wouldn't know it's them after a few tricks. You're lying to yourself if you think you could. Brogan, mcveigh yeah probably but not Sammy or more of the neutral skiers.

eheathI mean you understand this is a game right? The point is to win, he and everyone else who plays do tricks they know they can do that others might not be able to. Most games of slvsh both skiers do tricks theyve never landed or maybe even tried before. Thats how the game works :)

Also, laker is a boss, you are a pube.

S.J.WClothing has nothing to do with it? Name one skier who wears extra baggy clothing that has" bad" style.

And no you wouldn't know it's them after a few tricks. You're lying to yourself if you think you could. Brogan, mcveigh yeah probably but not Sammy or more of the neutral skiers.

And personality of the skier? Yeah because doing a blind 4 shows me how nice x skier or just how rough y skier had it growing up throwing up gang signs in his edit. Skiing isn't art, you don't express yourself.

casualYou're just wrong, about all of it.

I just typed out the names of several skiers whose style I really don't personally like who happen to wear baggy clothes, and I deleted them because there's no reason for me to criticize them, especially not at your behest.

As for these "neutral" skiers, I could pick out a Sammy "poke" on his high mutes, his flat 5 "bro kang" (the high safety where he kicks it out in front like a truck driver, but the other leg is tucked up kinda like a liu kang), the way he spins onto rails, how he spins late 180s into tranny/qp's, and on and on. Simon Dumont is "neutral" I think a lot of people would say, and he has VERY distinctive style and trick selection. You wouldn't know a dudemont truck 5 in the pipe? A cork 9 blunt? A cork 3 on a park jump all gorilla'd out?

How bout a Candide pole plant cork 7 tail grab?

And, I said a skier's clothing can lead me to infer some stuff about their personality—personality as in the "color" of the person, the flavor, how they want to present themselves to others, etc., not whether they're "nice"....c'mon dude.

Growing up rough? What the fuck are you talking about? How's that at all relevant to what I said?

My whole point in bringing up "personality" (obviously you're really hung up on my choice of word, though I bet almost everyone else knew exactly what I meant) was that a skier's style (eg. their individual/distinct movement while clicked into their bindings) is a totally separate thing from their clothing choices (which I said maybe clue us into their influences, their idea of "cool", blahblah, all the things one's clothing say about them/don't say about them, their PERSONALITY).

You're shit about how rough some skier's life is or whatever is laughable and doesn't need a response.

As for skiing not being an art and not being a form of expression, I don't know what to tell you. You're obviously very wrong, but I don't care if that's what you believe, doesn't affect me or my perception.

Can't believe I even replied to your dumb shit.

BROLFWhat are you even saying dude? Skiers have very distinct styles, regardless of whether most people think they have good style or not. I would know it was Sammy after one of his flat rotations. And I don't even know what you're trying to say with people having it rough growing up, Idk how that was brought into your head. And if you don't think people can express themselves through skiing, what would you call it when skiers choose to dress a certain way, ski a certain way, do specific grabs and tricks? Every choice someone makes is an expression of themselves, including skiing.

jimmy_bucklewhat was the cash amount Evan won....That was a nice was of 100's
