Superunknown X Best Trick Edit from Level 1 on Vimeo.



What do you think? Personally found it really hard to decide, so many to choose from.

I gave it to Hudson Knoll. That might not have been the most technical, but the injury factor was HUGE. I don't think the video did that gap justice, in the pictures I saw of it he was a speck of dust compared to the gap size.

Either the huge 360 disaster 180 out on that flat down box.

or Shays 270 out of the closeout(especially given how much fucking effort he put in)

Or maybe the tail press 5

The fact that it's the first trick in a 6+ minute edit with around 35 different tricks in it might have had something to do with it lol.

Glad to hear it.

It's arguably one of the most skillful out of the lot, sure the 180 Is cool(nobodies more of a fan of 180s than me), but it's not hugely impressive, + the uwa distortion is annoying and confuses perspective.

First trick will have something to do with it too.

I don't want to be that guy but how is the flair out of a snow kicker in for best trick?

Other than coming off of the slide it was like hitting a ghetto jump at your local golf course and hucking a flip.


Maybe it's just me but it seems like there was probably much gnarlier stuff that could have been shown.

I'm pretty sure after a couple tries a lot of people could do a "360" on 180 out on that feature. This contest has many flaws.

I'd say around 80% of those best tricks were either tricks done half a decade ago or they were really fucking stupid.

Apparently doing multiple front swaps on park rails, a backflip out of anything or hucking yourself off a jump with no chance of riding away constitutes as contenders for best trick... hahaha

seriously, i've done that trick before (granted on a smaller flat down box). with that said, something that i have done (because I suck) should never win best trick for superunknown. very disappointing to say the least.

also people went nuts on sig's trick because it was actually cool and hadn't really been done before. 3 onto a box isn't anything new.

I'm done arguing with about a trick vs trick scenario that wasn't even involved in the competition. If you think that a 3 on 1 out of a box is truly the best trick in that video then so be it.

I don't know if the 3 on to 180 off deserved best trick, but it was for sure really gnar. I highly doubt the ones in this thread who are saying "a trick I could do won" could do that trick on that feature.

debateable. i don't think it was that gnar at all, speaking comparatively to other entries. while it may be cool, still not that gnar. what's gnar is jumping off of a 40 foot drop to basically flat while doing a ginormous 180. name 1 other person who would step to that drop.

Do we definitely know it was 40 feet? wide angle could have made it look a lot bigger, and it would have been even more gnar if he didn't do the 180, just straight aired, land anything but perfect and you're fucked.

"wide angle could have made it look a lot bigger" same can be said about the fish used in the box shot.

It's around a 30 foot drop. That spot is in a bunch of edits iv'e seen and most people just tranny the individual walls and those are pretty big, gaping down 2 is retarded.
