Game 7 || Noah Albaladejo vs. Hunter Hess || SLVSH CUP GRANDVALIRA '23

[@Zekew24]

Hunter definitely deserved the W here. This seems like the most awkward first round matchup so far tho. Would love to see Hunter against someone with similar tech tricks.

[@butternutkrinklefries3667]

everyone calm down and watch the Siver vs. Kuura game again :)

[@urfavstrain5046]

It wouldn’t be Slvsh without a reffing controversy 😂

[@thetwelfthman8439]

Some weird reffing for sure but calling that many safety slides in a row when hunter hadn't done them before is weird, people usually stay away from that in these games. Good W to hunter

[@JenBap]

It's the whole focus of Noah's style it would be inauthentic if he didn't honestly

[@albertomoreno3042]

It’s about creativity

[@rainydaykennels]

@@JenBap Yes, but it gave the impression that he was just trying to get as many letters on Hunter while the set was his. Noah has always seemed like a good guy, so I don't necessarily think that was the case, but he has lots of tricks so I'm not sure why he wasn't changing it up

[@iansnoei9280]

Say what you want about the reffing but Hunter definitely had the deeper bag of tricks and deserved to move on

Game 7: Hunter Hess vs Safety Slide

[@edvardhb]

even people in this comment section are mad that he had a limited bag of tricks

[@yeahdudeproductions9830]

I thought the Reffing was sketch at times but he also let some hand drags and sketch go for both sides. Hunter deserved the W

[@skier22biggie]

Fun game, would have loved to see more sets from Noah, his first few calls were sick. All in all a great game.

[@boybleu1023]

Would’ve been nice to hear the footage of Noah emphasizing it needed to be held till he was off the rail, seems like a bad call from all the evidence the video presents

[@0004332]

I agree, but in the end I think Hunter is a more versatile skier (though Noah is sick af) and that call probably would not have changed the eventual outcome of the game had it gone the other way.

[@MyFederico96]

​@@0004332 I think we would've had double trivia crack rules, then the set would've gone back to Noah and he would've won, this looked like a game where the person setting was gonna win

[@lowprofile2603]

for what it's worth, i thought Hugo's decisions were on point. good game!

[@Ronttigod]

noah with such gangsta tricks

[@arsenzhdanov1907]

Noah style is on another level

[@rileycomeaux3712]

Big ups both of those dawgs but calling Noah’s Saftey grab not good then next trick being like yup hunter grabbed nose is crazy to me

[@Zeachh]

True, I honestly think it’s bc hunter wasn’t gonna be able to get any safety rail tricks, idk tough game to ref anyways, styles and trick bags are massively different

[@tobiasthybo3802]

so much safety grabbing

[@cejayadkins2749]

i agree that was sped

[@borja_azurmendi]

Hope you mean on a good way when the safety grabs are on rails...

Funny to see this considering what happened in 2024 lol. People don’t change huh ? We could’ve predicted it

it's always fun to watch people in the background attempt the horseshoe rail and fail 🤣

Hugo catching all the smoke in the comments xd Noah superstyle vs Hunter stiffbody spins

[@Ponfizius]

That one safety call was not fair, but at the end, it was a deserved win! Noah steeziest style, but Hunter spins it to win it and it's all good in my opinion :) nice game

[@malcolmstoddart549]

Just curious, is trivia crack still a thing?? Shouldn't the set have switched back over?

[@drewstrople312]

Thats only if the first skiier setting gets 3 in a row. Since noah started and it switch to hunter trivia crack doesnt apply

[@malcolmstoddart549]

@@drewstrople312 in many previous games they have given trivia crack to the second skier as well so long as it was their first time on defense. There are some games where there is a back-to-back trivia crack.

[@filipo3596]

@@malcolmstoddart549 its only if the first one gets 3 letters straight with the second dude getting 3 straight afterwards as well. (there must be the first 3-0 trivia, to make second trivia possible) In this game hunter just got two when he got the set, so that cancelled this rule.

[@austin702]

I think Hugo did a good job. It’s not often you get a game where almost every set is a judgement call

what was this reffing.. Noahs dfd holding safety was no go but huters bs bslide f2 was fine?

What happened to trivia crack???

[@moomoo730]

He started with the set

[@gnarwhalnoah]

Hunter got a set in the middle, trivia crack only applies when you get 3 in a row without losing set Edit: oh you meant for Noah, trivia crack only applies to the first sets, except when there's a trivia crack then the next sets will also follow it... I think Edit 2: I think you're right actually should be the first sets for each player?

[@capelax24]

@@gnarwhalnoah They usually only give it back if the first player gets hit with Trivia crack rules. If the first player who sets get 3 in a row, then the next player will get to set. If the 2nd player then gets 3 letters in a row it will revert back to the first. But since the first (Noah) messed up his set then it doesn't apply

funny judging

[@rydenkaye9735]

is trivia crack not a thing anymore? i thought set was supposed to switch back after 3 straight letters

[@filipo3596]

nope, hunter got 2 letters before he started to set so this rule wasnt possible to use. Second trivia could be used only if 3 straight comes from the first one setting as well.

[@rydenkaye9735]

@@filipo3596 i swear they've used it for a reverse trivia crack in the past (o-3 to 3-3)

@@rydenkaye9735 yeah, thats what im trying to say. If its 0-3, then comes trivia and if it goes 3-3 then comes the second one. hunter was 0-2 when he got the set so no trivia was used.

did you even watch last game?

[@DrumNBassed]

You could tell hunter was going to do tech tricks to knock out noah when he called the 9. Slack-ass reffing tho

[@bbl69420]

How was he supposed to respond when every trick Noah set was going to be safety slide or a tranny that he knows the exact speed for as home park? The slvsh format is not good for when two skiers are so good in different ways in the park. There was never going to be revenge and whoever was setting would win.

[@DrumNBassed]

@@bbl69420 True bro! Thanks for clarifying.

[@sortaskateandsnow]

Damn Hess had the opportunity to make Noah do some nbds with his perfect style and instead opted to do tech rail tricks the whole time
