by doing switch ups on a tiny rail?

and playing devils advocate, he only seemed to spin left, unless i missed it.

Pretty good urban/rail game though, the 5 swap and flip thingy, even though both were pretty wild especially the flip, they were questionable, again devils advocate, someones gotta question shit.

With saying this, i look forward to the rest of the entries.

He definitely spun at least one forward right 5, not sure if there were any other rightside tricks though.

what do you mean by 'questionable'?


I dont think the all 8 were necessary either, but it was all of about 15 seconds of footy and it was clearly all filmed in a short time period, and every one was pretty steezy. again, i would have done without, but i dont think it took much away from an otherwise killer edit.

also there was at least a right 5 blunt in there i think.

has freeskier fixed their fucking coding game or whatever?

Thoughts on Silseth's vid: That nose to mute cork nine was incredible. I wish I had seen more urban, especially since what I've seen from him in HappyPro stuff has always been good. Not one rightside spin, also disappointing, as I think I've seen a sw right 10 from him before. Finally, that Heat of the Moment remix was money, anybody got a dl link?

Well I'm not in charge of that image/selection of riders, but I just didn't think he'd be a good fit for the crew based on his riding style, not saying there's anything bad about him.

Dane seems to be the most fitting at this point in my opinion.

Gaute's jumping was on point, best of them all. I think he needs to get better on rails though, he can't compete with Dane and Austin. Still think Austin is the best skier, but I agree with Mike, Dane would be a very good fit if Level 1 lets him do his own thing and doesn't try to base his entire segment on park shoots...

Torvinen all the way, everyone has had something signature they are good at, but he brings a little bit of everything along with this crazy sense of creativity. plus his and willie borms from the honorable mention have had the Best edits in my opinion. they have a really good vibe, excellent skiing, and I could watch them everyday

After 30 seconds you turned them off? All of them have been dope and Gaute had the best jump shots of all of them so far.

in case you have failed to notice every video has been horribly glitchy and it has made them almost unbearable to watch. except for danes for some reason. which is good, because dane has my favorite edit so far. no offense to torvinen, but his edit is just kind of bland. dane put a ton of effort into his, all urban clips for 2 minutes straight is not an easy thing to accomplish.
