I enjoyed the big air forum so I figured why not make a thread for slopestyle. The course is sick . Some one in another thread said it looked like an extended nine nights set up. I think after the competition in big air both mens and woman’s slope should be insane.
soupStoked they are posting this. Any one doubting any judging just go run for run and watch and you will understand that judges aren't missing as much as you think.
Yeah the slopestyle has like 8 judges + 2-3 more people helping them record tricks, take notes, etc there's a reason it takes so fucking long to get the score, they're looking at everything.
OldManAtABasinI thought he said something along the lines of "I fucking hate these people following me everywhere" when he was trying to get around someone.
Oh that makes more sense yeah. Also much more interesting
rudagerFrom a production standpoint, we’re feeling the pressure of getting the judging right. It’s super easy to say “oh it’s a bad camera angle”. We have multiple cameras on multiple features, and have given the judges all the time they need to get it right. But the judges know that all eyes are on them
Additionally, they also have isolated camera shots. So the camera cuts you don’t see on air, they see in their booth still.
so judges have everything they need, trick callers, iso cams, their own replays, etc.
good to see the breakdown though, gives the armchair athletes something to go against
chicknfriedsteaksay what you want about ragetli but he sure has mistlys dialed, his last hit was nuts
his jump game is textbook perfect, but idk why i don't like the way it looks, it's like Goepper. Both of them are insane, but something just doesn't seem right
His run was overscored though, fell early on rail #1... Bosch and Matej should have scored higher than that run.
Rail game in the finals is pretty uninspiring. Qualifiers were way more exciting in that regard. I guess most of the exciting rail skiers didn't make the cut.
c-friesDid we already address why Wallisch isn’t on the mic? Cause it isnt NBC prime time?
The announcers on the feed I’m watching suck ass
There are two feeds with two different sets of announcers. It’s been this way for all the freestyle skiing event. Toms was just on USA now he’s on NBC Primetime. Tom and Todd have been the PrimeTime feed duo.

Thank god. Turned on the primetime again and Tom’s on it. Had never heard the other two guys this whole time and was so confused
