dan38Go watch Sam Zahners Real Ski edit from last year. It was filmed by the same guy. And tell me this years isn’t a step down in quality. Not only in skiing but in filming. I feel like maybe he was limited by the size of her spots or her spot selection but it definitely isn’t up to par with what I’ve come to expect from him as a filmer/editor nor her as a competitor in real ski.
gravelfor what it's worth, i'm more proud of my film/edit this year than last year. taylor's spot selection didn't limit me at all. i'm hyped on sam's video, but my feelings about only my own work on that is that it's 90 seconds of way too overprocessed and overedited footage. i'm always exploring new styles and currently i'm really happy with simplifying things and focusing on the skiing and not letting my filming or editing disrupt that. i could go crazy like i have in years past but i just don't think it honors the skiing.
JAHnI thought the edit was dope. Both skiing and editing. Probably the best solo woman’s urban seg of all time tbh. People need to step back and appreciate that we have a female skier pushing style and pushing street rather than trying to compare Taylor to A Hall. The vibe was right and the edit makes me want to ski more street. Keep up the good work. All the negativity in this thread is off-putting, but I think most core skiers were really stoked on it.
RichKidWho I think will win:
1. A Hall
2. Hackel
3. Tanner
RichKidCalled it
What do you think about the results, I agree with A Hall 1st and Hackel 2nd but I think Lupe should have been 3rd
isaacwrongFax...no question Lupe should be third, sad to see because I wonder if he would enter if invited back. Imo not worth the time and effort if you aren't rewarded for an entry that should be on podium. Get some amateurs in this contest so they can get some real recognition and exposure
ReturnToMonkeyif Henrik didn't get the knuckle huck gold undeservedly would they once again be tied for the most medals?

wyld_stallynsWhen do they reveal fan favorite? Still not showing up for me
eheathYou're just trolling if you're surprised by fan vote, it's literally a contest where you can vote every day, every athlete spams their social, whoever is more popular wins and in this case AHall (xgames slopestyle gold medalist, US olympic athlete) won the popular vote.

Mayrandpodcastkind of bummed that we won't be seeing a 3rd potential Hackel/peyben collab

isaacwrongwas watching the podium vids..i think khai is still salty from his last place finish in 2017, always hates on vids in the past

RichKidYeah honestly he seems like a total dick. It's kind of hard for me to watch his videos now

eheathYou guys are being a bit harsh TBH these real ski videos are hour long interviews where 5-10 sec is cut out to create a story, khai was told by producers to say something negative about the video (as was everyone else) and they picked the ones that fit their narrative the best.
This is a made for TV segment that's target audience needs some ups and downs, nobody wants to hear only positives, you guys ever notice how much more popular negative news is than positive? They're just executing a formula to create engaging content, not to please the hard core skiers on NS.
ColoradoDogfartlast year was so funny. when sam Zahner got knocked out cold he's like "there's no exception he should go back and got the clip". sam legit coulda died or became a veggy after that khai just tryna throw hate at everything he sees
isaacwrongStraight up woulda ended up like cartman in special olympics. I understand the broadcast has to show both sides, but feel like khai comes up with the most insincere critical response..wallisch on the other hand being like "only bad thing about Halls video is it's banger after banger and don't get to appreciate the filming"
eheathThat's the point, someone has to be the "bad guy" you get what im saying?

snowfinderBe cool to see Tom play that part next year.
wyld_stallynsThere's literally no fairer way to determine who's was "the best" than a fan voting system. Yall gonna bitch about results and judging system no matter what smh
wyld_stallynsLol people saying AHall got fan favorite just cuz he's an xgames gold medalist and most popular. Dudes part was worthy, deserved gold and fan fav
