Squad is stacked. Fun to see the different styles from different countries. Today was sick. We should have the first edit and article out in the next day or two.

Proud to say I have made it into a video with Ben Zins /claim and gave him a compliment at trollhaugen /claim#2. His consistency and style is unreal when I've seen him ride, hope he kills out there

The weather has been so good that there's has been no downtime, AKA no time to edit.
It's looking like the videos will be coming out next week.

Yup. Sampo is a super rad skier, too. He got sick during finals, which is a super bummer, but I'm sure it's not the last we'll see of him.

Yeah in my opinion it was the most stacked the finalist field has been since back in the day when you had like all the 4bi9 and other big name pros of the last few years in it.

I think last years was probably the best year to date. But I would like to see siver win this one!

The videos definitely matter still, we watched all the videos at dinner before the riders/crew judged. Stay tuned next week :)

I agree. Like last year everyone was crushing it, but it was clear that Keegan was on a different level. I have not gotten that feel at all this year.

I was really impressed with Oliver's entry and he's backed that up with the skiing from these two event videos. Never heard of him before now so it would be sick to see him win as a more genuinely unknown skier.

Oliver Karlberg? His skiing was sick no doubt but it didn't stand out like Aleksi or have the send factor of Miika. Cool anyways for a truly super unknown dude to make it this year.

Also Vince Prevost had the most creative trick selection going

Keep in mind, the riders vote for the winner, Oliver won by a landslide.

Wow, didn't expect that tbh. No doubt Oliver slayed, but I feel like the recaps didn't really do him justice.

It just looked like a really even field, so maybe that's why he didn't really stand out too much for me.

Either way, looking forward to seeing more of this lad, has some clean style

so hyped on super unknown this year. i loved how the edits didn't really favor a candidate, i feel like especially in the past two years everyone could tell who the winner would be as soon as the first edit was released, like i swear keegan had 50 or 60% of the shots in last years edits. I thought everyone got some good shots, super cool to see that many less know skiers kill it in the way that they did. especially hyped for oliver, i wanted him to win after i saw his introduction in the first edit. all his tricks were sooooo smooth looking
