vincent playing really dirty tho

[@tysonthornton1126]

Jonas Hofer I think he got pissed off with his simple mistakes at the start and basically said fuck this I need a win

[@D.P.MorrisConstruction]

Not even what else would you expect dude ! he can fuckin octo 14 off jumps and has the most unique rail game. That's his style

[@flornavarro2803]

yeah his tricks were weird like that pole one...

[@FLY1NF1SH]

idk i think he just got really sketched out with the wind after crashing

[@benjaminirons1274]

This game is literally a consequence of the draw as vinny and oscar have completely different styles, also little salty about that one call in the jesper game but that's slvsh

[@madhatter227]

Main takeaway from this game: if you have set against Vinny, you better not waste it cause he'll make you pay with his tech rail game when he's got set...

[@oleslewfoot91]

Basically everyone I thought would make it to round 2 is knocked out

rlly? the only one who disapointed me tbh was oystein

[@oleslewfoot91]

@@lukiibetschart6124 I'm definitely not disappointed, I mean I would have loved to see Quinn get another shot at the title, just surprised. That's SLVSH for ya

[@johnmay9598]

The misty 4 call was wrong, but otherwise reffing is good. Basically Vinnie can win this pretty easily by just calling nonsense like Venom grab or whatever that no one else has ever even tried. Same as VARS tournament a number of years back. Not that a switch 5050 is totally out of left field or anything, but it seemed like most of OW's letters were because of those calls. Definitely makes having the set more important, but there should be a ref's discretion that you can't just keep calling the same thing to get letter after letter.

[@Max.ima_d]

John May But it’s cool to see creativity beat the normal skiing

[@alextroche9453]

Someone even called out that he didn’t get the grab as he’s sliding out

[@zZyAnidEe]

@@Max.ima_d I dont see how it is cool, this was one of the most boring slvsh games i've seen cuz of those tricks Vincent chose just because he knew Oscar wouldnt get them...

[@Max.ima_d]

Jonka isn’t that the whole point of the game

[@lexro]

*Woodsy as ref* me: yup it's gonna be a good game.

[@ludwig.o]

Oscar seems really chill about not winning and just happy to be part of this, even said sorry when vinny hadn't tried that misty 4 off, what a nice guy. GG to both riders

[@110ski]

Oscar: you never tried that before? sorry man Vincent: try all this weird shit for the first time

[@mysticjay6969]

People getting salty about slvsh are stupid. The whole point of creating slvsh was for it to be a non serious/competitive comp for lesser known riders. Y'all care more than the people competing.

[@gabrielbitar7757]

Big Facts! it's just for fun and people in the comments are thinking its the fucking Super Bowl.

[@eliasanderl7576]

Fact.

[@simonschwarzl]

yea man

[@tttass]

So stoked for Vinny. His creative tricks are so sick. Glad to see him calling unconventional stuff he's famous for.

[@BlurredVisi0n]

Best start to a slvsh game I have ever seen hands down

[@kawabungadad8945]

Would be cool to see Emil and Hugo go against each other again in the finals.

[@comeontars]

that was probably my favorite SLVSH match ever. Huge air tricks, not too many grind lines that read like cvs receipts. Hugo vs A hall as well was incredible.

[@MitchSteedmanMedia]

People need to relax about all the “reffing” Riders throwing down is all that I love to see. In the end it’s all about the fun!

[@Bigloo44]

I think it's just that people wanted to see more of Jesper especially after last game, most likely because he's got a spectacular style

[@graylad22009]

Great Game. VG defo didn't get the grab on the misty out though!

[@devincalkins7630]

people saying vinny doing niche tricks should re think lol he just doesnt do the tricks you want him to do... he's mad creative. not all letters were given on switch 50-50's. all switch 5050 calls were different. and now oscar learned something new... thats what slvsh is all about

[@wow5heyy]

thats what im sayinnnn tho ppl are freakin out

[@MrSweetvidz]

Wanted to see Oscar win after Vinny robbed Jesper with his trash calls, so to see Vinny pull out his garbage jibbing tricks just made me real salty tbh, also those tricks every now and than but for the whole game just makes the video boring, at least woodsy reffed to keep it interesting

[@teddyf9438]

Hugo VS Emil FINAL IS LOOKING MORE AND MORE POSSIBLE

[@lexro]

I wanted Vincent to call the 720 screamin' lol

[@mact0night715]

I dont think he wants oscar to die lol, cuz u know he would try it too

[@lexro]

Yes lol but actually screaming hahaha

Vinny is my spirit animal. Glad to see him back.

[@svendrevhammar3824]

No trash

[@iduaify]

That’s why you don’t wanna lose the set to Vinny

[@ChaozCF]

lmao @ all salty people in the comments, oscar had a 3 letter advantage and he blew it, vinny made a comeback and won fair

[@andytbt2239]

but how he made the comeback wasn't that fair. oscar got 3 letters because of sw5050 slides on a rail... at the first oscar said something like oh he never did this (you recognize that he didnt like it and will no get it). and calling it again for two times was for me kinda unfair...

[@cougfan36]

@@andytbt2239 I wasn't a fan how he came back either. He started doing all the weird tricks nobody in skiing does as soon as he got in score trouble. Pole Mute grab? get outta here.

[@andytbt2239]

@@cougfan36 yeah thats what i mean. and he made all 5 letters with those weird tricks. of course the are hard and cool but making all five letters with it... :/ those weird tricks were also a cause why the game wasn't that good in my opinion. only 180 and 360 and nothing more...where are those insane stunts like nosebutter 6 on

[@b-louprint]

Andy TBT 180 and 360s are fundamentals. not being able to do them means you should get a letter

[@vanpatterson6194]

Quebec is in Canada

[@MaxRostas]

Aha, love the little editing flair on these - 9:11 with the green trick box mirroring woodsy's calls.

[@glitcher880]

Fier QC!

Drapeau du québec lets gooo

[@lostinthegroovey]

Come on Taisei, bring it home

[@jonasjohajohanson9517]

6:55 Oystein having fun - however I found the game rather boring. 3 cool shredders but their tricks in today's game fall short compared to the other 7 games before.

[@anonymousss8]

5:08 - 5:16 and 10:52 - 10:55 rap

[@xrabbittd]

All the kids are crying becaus their basic triple cork kid oscar isnt winning

[@guillaumechaude1053]

Woodsy reffing makes these games so smooth and fun to watch. Guy has a future as tv host.

[@andrewhansen-zerr2275]

Vinny’s tricks were super niche good thing he was lacing everything when he was setting... if sets switched, no way the story would’ve been the same on the jumps

[@BoarderBillyBakes]

Vin$ slayed in slope and big air for a good while.

[@tysonthornton1126]

If vinny would’ve gone over to the jumps while setting the game would’ve been over even sooner.

[@andrewhansen-zerr2275]

Cased first two

[@Itcxrew]

Vincent could have done better I think. He got better tricks in a pocket. Feel sorry for Oscar but I guess everybody knew whats going to happen when Vincent got his turn.

[@lcf3949]

1:05 That knuckle landing must've hurt

[@Sachiel235]

Knuckling switch is the worst

[@patrickzelger1685]

always happy when I see woodsy as ref

[@nicklyons31]

loving the series, and especially NY hype. not hating just want to clarify the one trick call. "switch tailslide" would be just that, not a switch blunt, as they clearly both did switch on, with the nose of skis going across rail, boot slide to half assed tail popper. its rare to see good stylie tricks in this game, so when it happens, ill take charge in reffing... cheers

[@BeeRiggin]

That tap by Vinny on the brokenslide at 5:25 was diiiirrrty.

[@brydermckee2556]

man as an AM rail skier who loves to 180 onto everything it's crazzzy to me a skier that good is unfamiliar with that trick

[@nkt-]

It was a rail acrobatic etude from Vincent. Fun tricks!

[@wow5heyy]

Everyone saying vinny "played dirty" sounds silly. its a competition! this game is all about riders using their own styles to battle, not trying to find a "fair" middle ground between them. that being said, maybe something like alternating after every letter to take emphasis off of who wins the draw could be a good thing

[@ajphillips590]

Guess Vincent is a snowboarder at heart 😂😂

[@TheLildrummerboy38]

that last trick Vinny zeeched as much as oscar's first 180 on

[@TheLildrummerboy38]

apart from that I have always loved vinny's style and think it will be dope when he gets pushed to doing bigger tricks

[@WsGMediaHD]

oscar westers goggle tan line makes my life

[@liam1268]

vinny had such niche tricks

[@MichalGwiazdowski88]

U can do crazy tricks like triple corks or 6 in on and 2 out on down flat or whatever but those tricks from Vincent are so unique like I have never seen before. Simple on the piece of paper but doing sw 360 on the RAIL is fucking scary and obviously not that simple hehe.

[@ilovebooks12343]

I’m proud to live in Quebec to!!

[@curtis5664]

No way would I call that a proper tailpress by vincent on that last trick

[@timdedecker7894]

curtis5664 pause it, the rail just gets behind his binding

Gnarly Qc moves !

Ahh woodsy ref vincent and oscar one of the best trios😍

[@roroo999]

What is vincent flag???

[@nicklyons31]

and on the bluntslide (with grab) thats shits gotta go, if you wanna flex those skis and press it out, call it a slide, but you whack your skis and go flying, its a tap. style and finesse are a fine line, lets make N.L. proud.

[@finnweikert3430]

Difference between flair and underflip pls?

[@fegenakki]

It is the same trick. It just has many names. Just like Lincoln is also called loop

[@titouauge6502]

flair is in a curve like in half pipe that's flair and in a slopestyle jump the same trick is an underflip

[@fegenakki]

@@titouauge6502 oh okay good to know

[@nataliesoyland492]

Oscar should have one Vincent did the most random stuff.

[@redthecameraman]

good to see these guys push each other as they have very different styles. Not sure i would have counted Vinnies last trick, if you slow down the video you can pretty clearly see that he does a back surface swap to 270 out, not a 1 sw5050 3 out as he called. where as OW's 180 on is perfect by comparison even tho he didn't get the 3 out

[@Goofygamedad]

So entertaining....

[@Snakesandskunks]

We almost at round 2!!!!

[@Pettapro]

woodsy did a really bad job this time, that misty 4 and some of the sw5050 was called wrong, and vinnys tricks were really boring. Bad game this time

[@ambedext1969]

pettApro I disagree he did a good job, he’s the best ref

[@ericselin3298]

2:40 "did not grab" Woodsy: ...Count it But hey, other than that, the reffiing was good :)

[@MrJohnc1903]

Vinny did not grab that Japan on the Misty 4 @ 2:30

[@Mskyller98]

At 7:50 i dont think oscar got that lead tail. Thoughts?

[@johnemmenecker4859]

Vinnie's pole calls are always straight shenanigans... I hope you see this dude cuz those are whack tricks designed to give people letters. Those 50-50 calls were ill tho....

[@tonirabanser5859]

vincent gagnier is the most creative skier

[@BCRandom69]

Vas y Vin

[@gurragurka88]

Isn't the set supposed to go over to the opponent when you land 3 letters?

[@jackcrump557]

not when it already switched in the first call

[@ottosummanen4917]

That is the trivia crack rule, but Vincent had a turn in the beginning of the game. Trivia crack rule only exists if the opponent hadn't had a turn

[@skiysi4]

Only if first guy give 3 letters back to back

[@gurragurka88]

Got it, thanks.

[@Dylanjruggier]

Makes sense why Vinnie judged so biasedly against jesper, knowing he'd be up against the winner. If anyone can beat him at his own game of unorthodox creative tricks, it's jesper

true

[@will9444555]

Vinny showing why creativity is important

Don’t get me wrong I love James woods and I think he’s a great ref, but there were a couple of dodgy calls this game

Fuck you

[@Tom-dt9gs]

The octograb wasn't a grab until it was invented by Charles Gagnier. And now it's used by Woodsy and Harlaut. I don't know why you're complaining about someone pioneering new tricks

[@benkirkham1946]

I mean ur still skiing when you have one ski on 😂

[@skiysi4]

Tom That is just based on luck and many skiers ski without poles and even if they have every pole have different length and tip (part he catch mute) size different between poles... totally dogshit trick Hopefully next game someone just jump 5 times and vincent lose😂😂😂

[@Tom-dt9gs]

@@skiysi4 Note that in the video, Vincent gave Oscar his pole. But yeah, I knew the pole mute from Vincent was going to come out and some point. In my opinion it's such a cool trick, even if I personally ski without poles
