missed grabs, no grabs, not showing landings, flails, hucks, basic tricks and basic rotations (backflips etc.) are not the forefront of skiing progression. People need to demand more and have higher standards for skiing to go to the next level. Look at snowboarding and it's successful video contests (real snow etc.). This contest should be about that forefront- what has never been done before, a complete body of work (large bag of tricks, editing, emotion)- where skiing will be in the future.

His point was that landings are usually cut in trailers because the full shot will be in the movie. Cutting landings in trailers is a lot different than cutting them in edits...

Actually, cutting the landings builds a lot of suspense. You lose points, but you also gain, and you can also show the stacks later. Anyhow, good luck to everyone.

I simply cut all my 100 foot sends in their entirety, building suspense for next season hopefully. Lol.

TGR forums blow. Bunch of close minded motherfuckers. Talkingtons video absolutely blew my mind. He 100% deserves the win. Should be interesting to see if the finalists actually sack up and vote for a more versatile edit rather than 100% backcountry.

Dale showed how insanely talented he is in every aspect of freeskiing. that in itself justifies the win.

Okay, so I may be biased but while Dale's was pretty damn bad-ass, Elyse threw down what is probably biggest progression of skiing compared to everyone else. Just sayin'.

TGR has a ton of douche bags, just like NS. I would argue the same thing would happen on NS if full tilts put on a video contest and the first place guy was some backcountry skier and then someone like dale was 5 place.

Not so good that the leaderboard is not a true representation of single votes from a single person, but multiple votes from multiple people. They're better off showing likes or some average of votes/likes/share. If it was likes, Colter would move from 3 to 1.

She had some gnarly lines and some big drops, but she also had 0 rotations. Personally that edit seemed really one dimensional and mundane to me, because it was all so similar. Again, big props to her for stomping some huge cliffs but that edit just isn't for me.

I meant to say "true representation of single votes from a single people, once only"

fine print..

"You can vote once a day for all your favorites, so come back and vote daily!"

TGR is smart and knows they can get a shit ton of people to come to their site every day if they make the voting every day, whats the point if 1000 people come vote once then not again for 2-3 weeks?

but as long as the same people come and vote every day, its decently even. doesnt even matter because the votes only determine the top 21 and i have full confidence that entries that deserve to win will make the top 21 no matter what.

1 person 1 vote per day 3 days = 3 votes.

Nah, it puts people off voting when you know people's entire crews are coming into vote on their man everyday to get a slice of the 100k.

Not that I'd want to or should, but what's stopping me from hiring a bunch of people on Amazon turk to vote for me everyday... oh wait, wouldn't that even things up a bit for solo loners.

It's democracy 2013 American style.. ahh, I'm just happy to get something up whatever the case. I guess people are going to try to game whatever happens. You can't just give away 100k and not be fair about it.

i'm not singling you out and i'm not trying to be a TGR close minded douchebag, but so many people on this site are oblivious to the amount of work it takes to ski big lines like elyse did, just as so many people on TGR are so incredibly oblivious to how insane dale's edit was.

just because she didn't spin doesn't mean she didn't progress. she was going bigger than any other woman big mountain skiers out there.

how many rotations do you see in an Ian Mac segment? she's pushing the level of smooth, confident riding in big-mountain settings beyond what I have seen in basically any female segment. she charges and stomps like a boss.

Correct, it determines the top 21. Which is basically half the field.

But in the process, it can make the solo players (especially the ones shifting from the mainstream) feel both humiliated and shafted, and rightly so. Even American Idol has a 1 vote only rule, right?

It's the first year of this comp, and I don't know exactly how TGR are handling it behind the scenes, but those numbers look too skewed. What's the point in me (or even anyone) from voting.. what am I trying to achieve by doing it? Basically it helps entrants work out their value.. but not necessarily comparatively to anyone else.

noone's taking away from the fact that "she charges and stomps like a boss"- that is no doubt the best womens big mountain performance I have seen yet- but there is definitely a lack of versatility. and in all honesty, I know plenty of people that have gone from a park/urban setting to charging backcountry lines at the top level in only 1-2 seasons of BC experience, however I can say without hesitation that Ian Mac or any of those guys would never be able to do a cork 900 blunt to cuban in the backcountry after 1-2 seasons of freestyle experience.

I'd actually disagree with you. Both skills take amazing amounts of dedication and skill, but one group isn't more "athletic" than the other, therefore making one transition easier than the other.

If you look at Dane when he was young, he exclusively skied big mountain. It wasn't till he was a few years in that he started focusing on park and within those few years had a triple. Hell, I grew up in a pure big mountain style and am learning more and more in the park as I get older. It's more about what inspires you and what you have fun doing than one being a better trainer for the other.

Lastly you might think a big mountain skier might never get to the "top" level of park/urban because of subtle differences in style, creativity and technical skills the same is to be said for a park/urban skier skiing big mountain at a "top" level. Sure there are many that have made some amazing transitions from park to big mountain but to a big mountain connoisseur they aren't quite at the top level like a Sage, Pettit or MacIntosh.

Back to thread.

Anyways, I'm just trying to pump my lady up regardless. I think it was an amazing edit and really stands out in context. Dale's, McNutt's and Colter's are absolutely amazing as well. Those three are some damn good skiers and I really enjoy watching them ski.

you lucky bastard.

And I gave your wife's edit props from the moment I saw the first line. a real contender. she's def into the next round. the athletes decide the final order. Personally, I'd vote her 3rd... unless you can prove that she stomped the largest air 1/2 way through the clip, where it seems like she blows up just out of the frame...

No....American Idol does NOT have a one vote only rule. All of those shows allow multiple votes from the same person. This is not new, not unusual, and is no less democratic.

And, let's be brutally honest. There was nothing even marginally interesting/impressive about your entry, it's a joke. Your skiing isn't worth $100, and the fact that you entered speaks to a level of delusion I would've believed to be impossible. Although, I'm sure you just saw this as an opp to push those dumb skis of yours. The fact that you're nitpicking the rules...to a contest you willingly entered is hilarious. As if the contest was run the way you think it should be that you'd be in the running...

causal - you're such a reliable hater it blows me away. At least cleargoggles tries to be intelligent, even if he falls short of it. But McNutt's so sloppy I'm surprised he doesn't dislocate anything. I don't really want to call any other competitor out, especially during comp, but given the hype he's got.. I feel I had to. He's lame.

Guy....you are a lower-intermediate skier who skis flat bump runs in the back seat whilst waving his hands around like a fucking kook. And, that in and of itself is totally fine. The issue is that you have not a shred of humility in your bones, you are woefully detached from reality, and you are an interloper here.

Now, I'm not a fan of dismissing someone's criticism with the "well, you can't do better, so you can't criticize", but in this case....where you're competing alongside someone who is literally so much better than you that it's laughable to consider what you guys do the same sport...you having the balls to critique his skiing as sloppy is just....well....something else.

"I don't want to call any other competitor out....so sloppy surprised he hasn't dislocated....He's lame..."

That sort of says it all.

from your video description;

"Join Adrian after 10 years of training and gravity research on his new skis and the heartcarving style. Rarely, if ever, does he fall."

maybe you should try harder. I fall all the time. that is, if you want to have a legitimate chance at winning a competition that compares you to a field of athletes.

Number 1 sign you're dealing with gaper: "I'm a good skier, I never fall!"

Skiing the way he does, that's like saying it's impressive to never fall when pedaling a road bike on pavement.

Oh, so you're saying you have the minimal level of balance/coordination necessary to engage in an activity that 3 year olds are able to pick up with little trouble? Sick dude! I bet you can do the double blacks too!
