OCoffeyThat was a real good game but there were some questionable calls. Colby’s 5 swap didn’t even touch the rail, while it looked like Vinnie at least made contact
Definitely had some questionable calls, I have a problem with the logic of "both were sketch so give it to both so its even" because it still benefits the setter cuz they get to keep the set. like colby obviously didn't do it in that case but i wouldnt have given it to vinnie either and he got to keep the set
People saying that there were a few questionable calls is pretty funny... if the result was the other way around there would be an absolute uproar that Vinny won, but since it's Colby that took the win, everyone seems chill with it?
Fucked up good game, however I think that was Woodsys worst reffing, vinny didnt get the 5 swap at all, colby slid literally 2" of it, and colbys trailing stale didnt ever happen, and then a few loose ones. Regardless insanely good game.

I think the bad calls were mostly in Vinny's favour and Colby still won so there's not really a lot to get upset about
StuuuuuuuuuuI think the bad calls were mostly in Vinny's favour and Colby still won so there's not really a lot to get upset about
So Colby missing the rail on the 5 swap, missing the stale and getting away with a loose dub lead mute while Vinny got penalised for that hug grab were in his favour?

Vinnie barely hit the end of the rail on his five swap and slid off the side which should not have counted so it's irrelevant that Colby missed it. Also colby definitely got the dub lead mute although he had to fumble for it, pause the video if you don't believe me. He really put up an incredible defense against Vinnies unusual tricks

Other way around iirc. Colby didn’t slide, Vinnie slid a lil

Vinny's 5 swap was pretty much identical to Colby's backslide 3 swap to backslide which was deemed as good, so that shouldn't have counted either? I mean if you want to count your wrist touching the ski as a grab then yeah he definitely got it.
I'm not bashing on Colby or anything, it was a really good game to watch and super creative one of the more fun ones of the tournament. Just pointing out that a lot of newschoolers' seem to ignore the bullshit calls when it's for the skier they prefer.
DesertStixI mean I understand your logic but why doesn’t BATB (or any game of skate) call nat/unnat? They just say front or back if they want to spin. It would be pretty fucked for someone to look at the opponent, realize he can’t backside 360 for example and say “do an unnatural 360” like no. Just say front or back side...

AlmostCoolerOther way around iirc. Colby didn’t slide, Vinnie slid a lil
Nah vinny pretty much just did a 5 to the side of the rail and didnt even finish it on one ski, Colby got it cause he literally backslid the last 2" of rail, neither shouldve been good, but whateva.
What about the switch lip 2 to backslide? (at 3') Colby's right foot is touching the rail at the end (you can hear it if you play the video with headphones on). Shouldn't that have been Colby's first letter?
SammyDubzSLVSH doesn’t need stricter rules it needs bigger screens
This is doable, there should be more than one way to make an ipad into a monitor for a gopro. I remember a guy in my school did this when he put a gopro under his skateboard, and viewed the clips on his ipad inbetween runs.
Great tournament so far. The ONLY thing I have to complain about. is the fact that we have been seeing pretty much the same few features the whole tournament. A flat down to down rail gets a little stale after awhile
Wish they would let more of the contestants reff would have been sick to see Finn, Jesper, Emil, Oystein or some of the others get a chance, hell with his limited engling it would have been a fun game to even have Tasai reff

Watching some old games, are the new games really that much longer? I mean sure some are, but it seems like they have a lot more footage in each video of talking, decisions, stuff happening in the background, etc. Even though each little clip only adds a few extra seconds, they add up. I'm not complaining, I think it's better.

I've noticed this too. Especially with the super high level games, a break between each trick is kinda nice.
jjamsMaybe an unpopular comment, but why is there so much complaining in the comments about the reffing?
You really need someone to answer this? We want to see games where there are no obvious missed calls or apparant biases towards players. When this doesn't happen then there will obviously be complaints like in absolutely any sport ever. If you can watch a game like the Moffat/Bilous game and have no reaction to the reffing then you clearly are not very into Slvsh or don't know skiing well enough to realize the mistakes.
