Good game between Cody and Tormond. Like seeing revenge letters being given, always the sign of a heater game. Any cork 5 lead mute looks so good.

Cody did great at getting the momentum back. I thought it wouldn’t be competitive based off the first few letters

Exactly what I was thinking. I feel like the park setup can make or break slvsh games

The snowmass park is barely setup even right now. They would typically have more features that are also more challenging. 60 and 80 foot jump line is just now being built. I wish they had everything fully setup in time because snowmass really does usually have much more. I just hope they havent filmed finals yet because I think they will have more open quite soon.

Full setup would've been cool to see I agree. I'd be very surprised if the tournament isn't finished given the time it takes to edit the videos and the schedule they're on to wrap up before XGames next weekend.

At first when I found out SLVSH was partnering with Xgames my dumb ass thought the matches would take place on the slope course. Obviously that's not feasible but all these games have been great imo. I get it the park isn't where it usually would be at this time of year but it still looks so sick to me.

A couple of the guys were in the world cup in Laax over the weekend so I'm guessing the whole tournament was filmed in 2 or 3 days early last week

Interesting game, I feel like the sets have had to get so specific because there just isnt a ton of variety in the setup at snowmass. Respect to Cody and Kuura for trying stuff they didnt look comfy with. also my bracket is toast

Cody rlly heard kuura say he'd never done tips under 2 before and proceeded to call them every time he had the set lmao. also having a game finish on a set that the offensive skier barely lands sucks. rlly was hoping for that kuura v Matej final so I'm choked. plus kuura getting that knuckle huck spot would have been nuts

honestly. if kuura decided to be an asshole and call tricks only he could do it would have been game in 5 laps. saw it briefly when he was behind two letters and immediately handed Cody 4 letters in 4 tries.

lmao almost forgot when Cody got the set back and started talking shit about sliding a rail... "NO TAPS"

come on man. Slvsh has always been about the vibes and sense of camaraderie between the riders... yes you are playing a game with the objective to win, but in almost every other game the riders have never taken advantage of each others weak points. think of how many times you hear them ask the opponent if a trick is chill. a game that comes to mind is Ferdi v Aleksander at gradvalira last year. realistically Ferdi could have won in five laps, but he stayed calling tricks that weren't unfair to Aleks and the vid ended up being like 12 mins. and it ruled

If its a normal game, sure whatever but this is a slvsh cup.

Every slvsh cup has been competitive and dudes like you always whine because their favorite skier lost. Its a competition with competitive skiers going for a prize and glory, do you think simon dumont and tanner hall told each other what new tricks they were doing at the top of the xgames halfpipe? this is a serious event.

idk if you actually read the last comment I made, but that Ferdi game was in a Slvsh cup as well. the whole point of Slvsh and the reason all of us like it is because it is a more friendly, fun way to have a competition that gets to show the riders going ham in a more comfortable environment. would you be happy if we started having bibs in Slvsh cups? or made it a rule that they have to ride with poles and spin both ways? if you want pure competition, watch world cups. if you enjoy watching your favourite pros ski with their homies and have some friendly competition watch Slvsh. the two should not be viewed with the same mindset.

It's SLVSH cup in conjunction with XGames dude not just a couple random games of SLVSH. They're actively competing for something very tangible here. No one wants to see people in bibs, but to your point, imagine SLVSH never had the Jiberish made ref jerseys. If they were to suddenly have given the ref a jersey this year would you be bitching? No one's pushing for more rules or anything, but just be glad XGames is giving SLVSH a helping hand and helping keep this thing going.

SLVSH is about the vibes. You aren't wrong at all, but this isn't SLVSH, this is X games. X games has NEVER been about comradary, the dudes are friends but they are not playing to their friends strengths, they want medals. Don't get it twisted, Cody is on red bull and they will give him a pretty penny for winning an X games event, he would be genuinely stupid to play nice in this circumstance. Props to him for having a deeper bag of tricks and I personally loved the game.

I get where you're coming from with all this, but this was also the sickest game imo.

I was stoked to see all those weird tricks no one usually does. It's so sick Cody has all those bizarre things consistently enough to do em in SLVSH, and where else is a nosebutter 1 going to come in handy? Both way tips under 2s is the illest thing I've seen in a long time. The switch cork 3 blunt from the other game is something I've never seen anyone do. That's pretty rare these days. Also if anyone could adapt to that shit it would be Kuura among a few others so in a way they were risky calls.

Anyone else confused as to how this was considered a nosebud 1? Angle was hard to tell if Cody got up onto his noses and lifted tails but it really just looked like a tokyo drift 180

Cody pretty much stated the NB1 could be loose. It’s also not a nose press so no need to lift the tails.



Also a bit confused, maybe I missed something but where was the trivia crack switch over? I’ll have to give it a rewatch

I know that this is a more rewarding Slvsh cup due to the prize, and I did definitely expect to see some competitiveness. I guess what rubs me the wrong way is that out of the five letters for kuura, two of them were from the tips under twos and one was from a nose butter 1 that wasn't a nose butter and was barely landed. I would have nothing to complain about if all five letters were different tricks, but just racking up letters on variations of a trick that you know your opponent has no experience with is kinda low and doesn't rlly show off a "deep bag". maybe they should have a rule that the same trick can't be set twice or something idk

This isn't just a Cody thing (he is for sure guilty) it's a slvsh thing. I have never really seen anyone call butter and actually press their noses in a game.

Kuura also tried shit that only he is really consistent at, idk I didn't think anything was bad. I like kuura way more than I like Cody and still kinda failing to see how he played like a dick, 2 letters on one type of trick isn't toxic, and the butter 180 was the refs decision not his so you can't blame him for that lol

I'm kinda torn on this. I get that they were playing to win and that there are stakes. I definitely wouldn't call it toxic. But it's a bit dirty to do a trick 4(?) times that your opponent doesn't have experience with. I think it's valid because it's a competition but I personally have more appreciation for when someone wins with a more diverse variety of tricks.

Okay…am I the only one who noticed that kuuras switch tale butter 7 was perfect but Cody clearly dragged his tales in the middle of his on the second go? Kind of a loose call to me considering it was immediately obvious on the side angle they had. Regardless tho, this was the best game so far considering the fairly simple park setup, these last two games should be super fun to watch leading up to the big show!

Hot take the judging in the Matej vs Ferdi game was good imo. I agree that it was pretty harsh on offence and relatively loose on defence but it stayed very consistent throughout the game between both skiers. Great skiing from Matej and ferdi, hands down best game in the cup so far.
