Kuura's set was all in, bro wanted the win so bad. Sick game from both btw, best so far

Best game yet, props to Cody! But it hurts that Kuura isnt going to the knuckle huck. Hes like the perfect guy for it. Probably a future knuckle huck winner.

[@mymomsbasement69]

Kuura is overrated anyways

Is the winner automatically qualified for knuckle huck?

@@mymomsbasement69 what do you know

[@kurtisgassewitz4291]

Controversial but it's refreshing seeing a competitive game. Some serious strategy here with the set, both skiers wanting to win. Not that I don't appreciate a friendly game... but dope to see some seriously challenging tricks.

[@mymomsbasement69]

Its almost like they're competing for a real prize this time.

[@haydengitchell7093]

Totally agree with this- there is strategy involved even in a friendly game! All it does is make the other guy better for trying something new or uncomfortable. That feeling of "dogg I've never tried this" is the essence of our sport. Whatta game and both showed up in big ways

[@mattdonahoe1361]

I agree but I absolutely hate the way it ended on the ugliest trick I have ever seen…

[@augustmenetre3486]

They should implement a rule against doing the same trick (tips under 270) 4 times with slightly different variations. Would’ve been an entirely different game

[@steepmike7872]

some psycho calls in this one. but way to many tip under calls.

[@lauri7407]

very proper nosebutters form cody and nice to see setting tips under 2 to backslide after kuura barely clearing the first tips under 2 and not clearing the 2 on backslide. also the bs fs bs to sw was proper enough compared to cody's surfaceswaps

[@philbiephart3169]

first time ive seen a nosebutter one and i wish i never did

[@axelnordstrom4856]

Cody defineley did surface instead of real swaps!

[@Lunarl4ndr]

Hard agree. I had to slow it down and watch again. No foot movement for pressuring to indicate a swap over a surface.

[@JXXN666]

bruh that was not a nose butter 180 he just reverted and did a zero spin

[@clubpenguin300]

nahh the last trick set was sus

[@RAHvdK]

Really like this cup. You guys always seem so friendly instead of getting the worst off the competition get you. 😊

[@timegger4312]

Last Trick from Kuura should have counted

[@trevorjeffries1050]

He did case though

[@aaporantala9652]

Probably a bit biased 'cause I'm Finnish but i think Codys first bs in the long tube was more a 270 in or a back surface and Kuura did a way better nosebutter than Cody, his was more like a tokyo drift than nosebutter.

[@willkeating6466]

Agreed

[@tomc5982]

Yeah Kura kinda got robbed on that one

[@lsara3699]

i agree as well

[@george_venison]

Cody being pushed thru 2nd game by American referee

[@coolfish167]

that was revert zero spin bruh kuura should have won

[@haydengitchell7093]

So much controversy in the comments... so it must be a great game!! Big ups to slvsh for making this the most rider friendly event in the world! Both boys killed it!

[@Brax.sharpp]

Swag game but sad to see kuura go🥹

[@dababy9771]

ref sold kuura

[@vidpozek9337]

Cody didnt hamd drag on that cork 5 blunt ski swap, kuura should have won

[@lowprofile2603]

he's wearing white mittens, so it's hard to see, but if you slow it down he got the hand drag

[@hannesnystrom5609]

Kuura the goat, we need him for Knuckle huck

[@beast2545]

can't say I was a fan of the calling tips under over and over but a win was a win

[@jason.zacharos]

Last trick didn't count for Cody that was a tokyo drift bruh

[@timegger4312]

OK

[@JXXN666]

ong he just reverted and did a zero spin smh

[@audiomystic]

Absolutely was Tokyo drift, you can’t even clearly see nose pressure and he stopped the rotation before getting to the lip. That ending was a bummer for me

[@somthinsweet1]

I think no matter how this one turned out I would have been bummed for the loser. Both skiers are unbelievable. Fun seeing these guys getting competitive with the trick calls.

[@aleksihuttunen7322]

Definetly a tight call on the bs fs bs to sw but checked it on slow mo and it was the right call and last trick by cody was insanely hard

[@max_mit_knax_2427]

So nice to see such different driving styles in the sets of those two skiers. And I never went skiing before in my life...

[@jackcampot1645]

I wanna see Cody vs Matej 🦄

[@markoni_ski]

so unstoked abot Kuura... keep it up man, one day you will go to finals...

[@markoni_ski]

tips under 270 on won't help XD

[@cianbose4067]

Nah kura deserves finals

[@steeze1716]

Feel like Cody somehow sniped the 2 best competitors on some sketchy calls/tricks, I don’t really think you can call that a nosebutter 180…

[@tiniussonberg]

totally agree

[@lowprofile2603]

the way he described it, is exactly the way he did it (minus the flailing)

[@colederrick6327]

Mind benders all around, sick game!

[@cameronharding2671]

koivisto shoulda had it but good game

[@sigurd7088]

Dont like seeing the friendly SLVSH competitions get to competetive, but oh whell. It was exiting at least.

[@sampe8424]

Cody definitely did not do a the first bs on that kuuras bs fs bs to sw set 9:23

[@MSE043]

Bad call on the long tube by the ref. Kuura is too good on rails, also Cody has improved so much this is unreal

[@pre-covid-life]

Ahhh bummed to see it end on that out of everything these guys can do

[@_gummikko_]

Kuura was way more technical on the sets

[@lucanleikkinurkkaus307]

Ain't waching this ever again

[@petepahl1267]

Probably two of the most stylish skiers out there right now

[@oll1vanhatalo]

I feel so bad for the kuura he was so close for the finals... But next time better🤝

[@downdaysTV]

Tim Gage shoutout!

[@benihananah]

7:46 thought my hot pocket was ready

[@lilcharles5528]

Nose butter 1 was savage

[@sichaelmott]

I think its a bit weird when the tricks get too unique, and it's just a mindfuck for the other skier to figure out what to do. I feel like both these guys did that, so fair play, but especially Kuura got real specific with the details too many times, and got a bunch of letters on Cody in a jiffy. It reminds me of that time Vinny Gagnier beat Siver Voll by doing things only Vinnie can do... That said, this was some fantastic skiing. Sad to see Kuura go!

[@antonfrandsen7207]

So nosebutter dont gotta be nose sick game but a lil biased ref

ngl Kura should’ve won on that on tail but 7 to pop Cody’s tails touched twice in the air but then kura gets called for not clearing the jump on nb 1 and loses??? Bad ref if u ask me

Nice reffing

[@TannersTrades]

If it takes you more than 10 seconds to explain a trick to another professional in your field, you probably shouldn’t be able to call that trick 😂

[@audiomystic]

They both went for the jugular. Tips under is relatively new to me, and I don’t love the way it looks. But looks tricky and a lot of people struggle with it. All the tail drags and bonks seem a little out of hand. We might see sets in the future like ‘one eye shut, tail bonk, no knee bend disaster’ The creativity is cool in a way but take it too far and you get too cheesy I do think they need to put some boundaries on what can be set and what can’t. Like reverts, or 180 after landing. Perhaps even nose under or tails under. I understand calling out lip on, but controlling all the other manner in which you get to the rail is taking it too far, especially when it makes a trick look way clunkier Oh- the other thing I think is too far is calling out every possible way of interacting with obstacle. Slide to end of rail I’m fine with, but ‘clear the landing’ nah. By that logic you can say ‘180 but you have to case it’ - what are we doing at that point? This is a new development and I’m all for it. I think they will tighten up rules next year
