dbchiliokay i'm sorry, but i honestly do not understand all the kids hating right now

look at the most recent slvsh instgram, there are so many children literally complaining about the judging its unbelievable. First of all, SLVSH is FREE content that people develop and put out with money from their own pockets, appreciate it. Two, there are no prizes or implications for these guys winning the slvsh cup, its FOR FUN, they don't care if they win and neither should you

Remember that the whole point of this thing is that it is FOR FUN, just like the sport of freeskiing in general. If you want to get heated about a sport with winners and losers, then theres dozens of other sports to choose from where you can do that, but freeskiing is positive vibes only


There is prize money for Cups. We also had 8 filmers and 4 games going on simultaneously, so we had to hire 6 extra filmers and a photographer. All of whom had to travel to Andorra. Plus, skiers aren't going to just fly from the states or Canada or Norway on their own dime for zero possible prize purse. Big ups to Grandvalira for making this event happen. Also Monster and hotel Llop Gris.

With that said, skiers are still having fun and trying to make good games. A lot of them just care about whether they made a good game. Some want to win. It's all good fun tho.

All regular season slvsh games and Instabangers tho. You're right. Nobody plays for, or makes anything, yet.

can the next SLVSH cup be at breck? I think that would be the best park. You have everything, jibs and perfect jumps. I'd happily donate to the SLVSHcup kickstarter if you set one up.

Yeah fair enough I remembered Evan got some cash after I wrote that.

Regardless does anyone come to this event because of the possibility of making big money? It sounds like they are more focused on having fun and making some good games happen.

So it that brings me back, if you are one of the people complaining about a comp where pros and filmers travel great distances for the main purpose of making exciting viewing content, then stop. Maybe they won't do it next time, and then we will have something real to complain about

Well your suggestion sucks. Might as well have it at key. Haven't seen much footy from key in the past few years. It should be at troll or bear, then maybe there would be some snowboard vs skier fights.

Slvsh cup is dope. People hating suck. Bummed that anti is out. He was 100% the funnest to watch

I thought it was quite a good suggestion. Breck has the best jumps, and a fuckton of jibs with all different levels creativity options. Sunset and Perisher are cool parks but they're pretty small and limit just how much one skier can do. So if you hosted it at a bigger mountain, one skier wouldn't have an advantage over another.

Having worked for Vail Resorts I'm guessing the logistics of setting up a SLVSH Cup at Breck would be challenging, but not impossible. However, I agree it would be one of the best venues for the next Cup. I can see it now... Tiger Gap calls, Lulu calls, would be so legit!

True, all they would have to do is give up all rights to their footage to make it happen... I'm sure that would go over well. Fuck Vail.

Rad game. It's a pity the finals didn't have great weather because it would have been crazy to see what happened in perfect conditions but amazing games, perfect park and the best 'comp' skiing has seen for some time.



My bracket definitely got fucked, but I think I had A Hall to take the win so there's that.

I wish Vinny G got further but still the sickest way to do comp skiing is probably slvsh.

Also the webisode format is so much sicker than TV.( remember X games, where half the runs were overlapped by basement dwelling halo addicts.)

Congrats to Hall, and please do another cup sometime slvsh!

Pretty sure people are just bent out of shape because the winner might have fucked up their bracket but honestly who cares. Slvsh cup is great, just chill and watch some great skiing.

I see your reasoning here and the only reason I would think these tricks are bogus are because its so difficult to justify whether or not the trick was done properly. Such sick tricks and obviously very unique trick to a select few skiers but that doesn't constitute it to be bogus. If a person is going for the win they are more than allowed to call any trick they see fit

Alex specified the 180 beforehand so its legit. To me the bogus call was on his butter 2 blind 4 out. Didn't clear the dick at all..

Oh well, it was a great final nevertheless. Grats to everyone.

I had everything right except I had McEachran making Semis, and ABM losing to Evan in Quarters. Obviously neither of those worked out quite how they should've, although in hindsight I could definitely see Laker beating ABM if that went down.

I kind of agree with you, but also kind of don't.

While I was watching I felt the same way you did. But, like Walker or Joss mentioned in this thread, some skiers play for fun and to put an entertaining game together, some play to win. $8,000 Euros on the line, AHall is 17 years old, I think he's playing to win, and I have to respect that.

i agree with both of you. those weren't my favorite tricks of the game or tourney, for sure, and i think sportsmanship is an important part of this game.

but 1) yeah i def didnt have $9000 when i was 17 and i cant blame anyone for playing to win, and 2) they were relatively legit, creative tricks. it's not like he gave out a letter by doing a 450, then did a 630, then an 810 to tighten the screws on his opponent, or some goofy shit that was specially crafted to prey on oystein's weaknesses. that kind of thing i would definitely frown upon
