alright so I know freeskier already did it but I believe that if newschoolers was to bring it back again it would be amazing. What teams would you guys like to see? Armada vs faction? Line vs on3p?

HG vs Vishnu vs ON3P would be sick, RIP HG though

Been thinking about skiing kotr forever, I actually dont think it would be THAT hard logistically if you had the connections. It would just be about the people planning getting creative and finding interesting teams to do it. I think it would be better with smaller teams and skiers without egos that would actually be down to get rowdy and do some funny shit as well as ski hard.

Fuck brands. They should do it regionally. Guys who grew up in the slc area vs. Nor-cal guys. New England riders vs. Midwest. I dont know it's an idea.

I think Armada vs ON3P vs K2 would be the best. You have guys like Henrik Tanner Torin vs Magnus Lucas Jake Foster and then Jake Joss Colby (probably forgetting more) All of them would make a pretty entertaining series

I've always thought about this. The freeskier one was so entertaining. I would love to see something similar happen again.

I think it would also be sick to do it at one mountain. That way a bunch of the challenges can be like spray the other team, moguls race, longest butter side by side, biggest air off x-feature. Easier to coordinate and easier to judge maybe. I posted all my skiing KOTR ideas in that "downfall of NS thread" too lazy to go find em now

I would love to watch that so much with park skiers There's a French freeride channel who did something similar over a day with some of their friends from neighboring resorts, and it was hilarious. There's definitely something that needs to be done here!

KOTR at a single mountain, maybe call it King of the Hill.

Hosted a comp called "King of the Rope" at Mission Ridge this winter with a fat challenge list, had an ollie contest, eurocarve limbo, bunch of other challenges. Its a fun format, more people should try it.

Few shots of the comp at 3:45 in this video:

If it's any less hardcore than thrasher's, then I think we would all be pretty disappointed

how about non teams and more likely generated teams with the most savage people in it.

if you really wanted to see something king of the road worthy , we'd have to get the ski or die ruka boys vs the slvsh filmers (carney,charley etc.) haha it be full on carnage mode

I think a big regional team format competition could be dope. It would be cool to really showcase and compare the different styles of park skiing that develop around the us and the rest of the skiing world like that.
