since this is mostly a rails slvsh cup, if bellemare wouldn't have lost through bad judging, he easily would've taken the whole thang. Quan didn't deserve the win against him

It's an Armada family ting! Darth Hall was defeated by young Jedi Knight Quan and the force was restored to the galaxy, where he can train under Jedi Master Dollo

I feel like there were three calls about that could have gone against A hall when he was on defense. It was Quinns game the whole game so that slightly iffy trick you mention really had a marginal effect on the inevitable outcome.

k fed is a nickname for a front swap to blind 270. theyve gotten kinda overdone over time so the Slvsh guys have made a style choice and banned them from the competition haha

yeah it's kind of a jokey name. ive always heard the reason as "because it looks like you're dancing on the rail" but it's also just a funny name that some dudes (tyler barnes maybe...? i forget) threw on it at some point and it stuck

Quan killed it and 100% deserved to win an amazing game, but this sudden idea that Alex has a bad attitude is way off the mark in my experience. Maybe he had a bad day for one of the games, I wasn't at the cup so I don't know how that went down, but he's one of the more down to earth and friendly guys I've met at events I have covered for NS. He was clearly pretty hurt for the whole cup (bruised heels do not heal in a couple of days) and he sent it the whole way through... that shit hurts so he has my respect for that too.

I would also like to say that I'm super, SUPER fucking disappointed that nobody kicked off their match with a KFED and subsequent shotgun. I feel there was a serious opportunity missed there by every participant and I hope that this rule stays around and is more used.

I always thought it was because a blind swap front 2 is a Brittany and K-Fed was the counterpart of that.

Then theres the Ray-Fed, blind to blind because of Ray Charles lol

Then the gay-fed because front to front looks gay, aka the Ellen because of all the scissoring

im pretty sure you have it backward, the "britney" came after the k fed actually (and it didnt stick nearly as well as a name). then ray charles and ellens the names kinda make sense in a jokey way but those havent really stuck either. but then theyre not quite as much of a staple as k feds are

No need to be a dick. Seems like an odd nickname to phonetically change only one letter and have it the same number of syllables. Kind of defeats the purpose of a nickname, which is why I was asking.

loganimlachI’m guessing you weren’t around in 2008 when Henny was doing more rotations than anyone. I can assure you he can set spins up there with the spinniest of the spinners

#Facts
Your right Mr. Imlach, I only got into skiing in 2010 youre right but...
Im not saying dollo cant spin im just saying I think AHall has the pencil spin advantage for low rails

Perhaps irrelevant at this point, but does anyone else think Hugo got screwed by the ref in his game against A Hall?

Hugo landed the 1170. It wasn’t perfect, but it was in control. Idk, seems like it was kind of an unfair call.

Park_RangerOf course it evolves, but you have to have good style to begin with. You can't evolve style if you don't have it to begin with. Jossi and Magnus have been dripping in it since birth. Sure they have changed it up over the years, but its always been built off of a base that is made of natural steeze. You either have it or you don't. In my opinion, Hunter Hess's style is garbage. Sue me kids


I agree hunter doesn't have very good style.. but fuck does the kid have some skills..
