It's just how many letters you get at the end. It's out of 1000 for both players

So if one guy gets 0 letters he'll get 1000 and the loser 0. If the winner gets 4 letters and the loser 5 he'll get 5/9 of the points so 5/9 * 1000. Pretty much you get a percentage of the total letters dished out in the game out of 1000.

Sorry if I'm bad at explaining math but hopefully someone will understand.

Using this last games with Woodsy for an example: James gave Evan 3 letters, Evan gave James 5 letters so there was 8 total letters dished out.

James would be awarded 3/8 of the points, Evan 5/8. Then it's just multiplied by 1000.

Correct me if I'm wrong slvsh dudes

We tried a new game/ style of a course preview today during the first Dew Tour practice. We are calling it ZERO. The goal of the game is to spin as much as you can both ways and try to get your total net rotations to equal 0. Example: You have two jumps and one down rail, you spin a left 900 then a right 900 on the jumps and you do a 270 pretz 270 on the rail. Net rotations=0. Next skier does a left 1080 to a right 1080 and a 270 pretz 270 as well. He spun more so forth he wins.


Check it out.

I'm guessing the last trick is what happens when Joss sets a switch dub 9 and decides not to do another cork/flip.

That was pretty cool to watch, although I don't get why Walker didn't just straight air or zero the last jump to keep his score at 0.

Besides that, I can imagine it being easier to go 2nd than 1st, cause if the first rider does not end with zero points, you could just straight air the whole course and win, and if the first rider does end with zero you know exactly what it takes to defeat his run.

Also what happens when both riders get 0 with the same amount of spins? Is it going to be another run?

I really like the idea and the video was sick, but it needs to be worked out a little more maybe.

If it's just a spin on a course preview I couldn't be happier with it.

Normally course previews consist of a future-spinner pointing a go pro at himself, showing less of the course than a chinese-made painting of Aspen in the 19th century.

I think both riders should go in blind, not knowing the other riders score and amount of total rotations. That way you can avoid X skier totally 180 then Y skier just straight airing everything.

Exactly this is a fucking sick way to do a course preview.

It is really hard to do math while skiing slope courses hahah. That was not what I planned for a run. Was kinda doing rail tricks on the fly after messing up that first one.

With that said, we got a really good idea from Bellemare today. Both skiers spin both directions as much as they can. How far off zero they end at, we subtract from their score. Whoever spun the most wins. We are gonna keep messing with it, we also have a few other ideas to mix up course previews, so stay tuned.

What about both riders start with a standard score of 200, 1800, 1440 etc etc. (changes every game) then you have to nominate a direction in which your score goes down and score goes up, but you can't spin the same direction two times in a row.

What about a game of SLVSH on the actual course? That way you get your tricks dialed along with filming a new game.

I like this idea...

I'm thinking each rider should choose their ending value (e.g. right +540, left +180) and subtract how much they missed by from that. That way riders can get a good practice run by trying what they intend to throw, and they are penalized for botching tricks and having to improvise

an idea for a game in the future could be a form of ski dice.
spin/slide direction picked at random- left or right
spin amount picked at random- up to 12?
grab picked at random out of a list of a ton of them
rail tricks could be incorporated into this too somehow

it would require some programming but I'm sure someone here can figure it out. otherwise you could have a dedicated trick caller. just an idea......

How did Jackson go from just another Wells brother to one of the livest doing it? Fucked up good, proper style, perfect trick selection. I wasn't checking for him until watching his slope runs at breck. God damn that family is buckwild.
