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.
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
@@thedjenser 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
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
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.
@@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
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
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
@@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.
@@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.
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?
@@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
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 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.
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.
I enjoy Noah's style on snow. There is totally a place for his skiing style but damn at some point the constantly trying to act like an early 2000s rapper gets cringey for a white dude from Andorra.
i think It's nice that not everyone is wearing trackpants, and womens sunglasses... But you do you, its all sweet. But lets remember that rad skiers have looked flamboyant since the 60's

everyone calm down and watch the Siver vs. Kuura game again :)
It wouldn’t be Slvsh without a reffing controversy 😂
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
It's the whole focus of Noah's style it would be inauthentic if he didn't honestly
It’s about creativity

Say what you want about the reffing but Hunter definitely had the deeper bag of tricks and deserved to move on
Spoiled the video 😢
@@Otis3aton Bro reading comments before finishing the vid 💀
The judge should have counted good the safety slide of Noah. It was well done
was searching for this comment
same
Yeah same
He just wanted to put a stop to the safety slide BS
@@jackhignell2431 fr dumbest matchup so far hunter performed tho
Game 7: Hunter Hess vs Safety Slide
even people in this comment section are mad that he had a limited bag of tricks
Noah and Hunter are two completely dif types of rail skiers
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

Fun game, would have loved to see more sets from Noah, his first few calls were sick. All in all a great game.
for what it's worth, i thought Hugo's decisions were on point. good game!
it's always fun to watch people in the background attempt the horseshoe rail and fail 🤣
noah with such gangsta tricks
so much safety grabbing
i agree that was sped
Hope you mean on a good way when the safety grabs are on rails...
@@borjaazurmendi2145 nah after 2 safety slides it was like this kid is going to safety slide the whole game.
@@CorbinLefebvre bro really called noah “this kid“ hahahaha waw
Fully agree
Noah style is on another level
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
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
Let’s gooooooo
hunter vs ferdi gonna be super sick!
it's all more than ok
Noah's defence was top
Yessir Hunter🤘
what was this reffing.. Noahs dfd holding safety was no go but huters bs bslide f2 was fine?
❤
Hugo catching all the smoke in the comments xd Noah superstyle vs Hunter stiffbody spins
i need that snowman shirt
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
Weird matchup. Great game. Controversial.
Toyota.
Funny to see this considering what happened in 2024 lol. People don’t change huh ? We could’ve predicted it
Damn Hugo really bumped his head
let’s go daddy hunter
hunter deserved the win but the safety slide call was wackk
Just curious, is trivia crack still a thing?? Shouldn't the set have switched back over?
Thats only if the first skiier setting gets 3 in a row. Since noah started and it switch to hunter trivia crack doesnt apply

Hunter deserved the win fs
he did but there was bad calls still
Ale, Noah, para casa.... a no, que ya está en su casa..... uuuuuh... una pena campeón, pero esta gente está en otro planet
Noah best style ❤
pause to check the comments or watch to the end then check?
I think Hugo did a good job. It’s not often you get a game where almost every set is a judgement call
What happened to trivia crack???
He started with the set
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

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

@@rydenkaye9735 noah would need to loose his set due to trivia crack rule (not a f*cked up set) to be able to get it back after 3 straight from hunter
Feel like they both got some loose calls
You could tell hunter was going to do tech tricks to knock out noah when he called the 9. Slack-ass reffing tho

@@bbl69420 True bro! Thanks for clarifying.
Third
first
"Loose but lit."
Sucks cuz I love Hugo, but yeah Noah def got that safety slide
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
noah only did safety slides tho 💀
Hunter just pushed him to some new stuff! That is always nice to see
can see hugo isnt thrilled abut reffing this one moments into the game, would love to see this one without the slush game
Hunter's bag of tricks is too big to lose this, but bad call on the safety slide regardless. just sad we wont see more of Noah's style tbh
WATAAAA... NO WAYYY DA JUDGING.... SO STYLE DA GAMEEE RRRRRRR
Who’s here after the LH catastrophe of 2024
Noah biffed the rest but hunter should have gotten the V
Just give hunter the crown all ready, he is going all the way baby!!
did you even watch last game?
why they gotta pair up the least stylish skier with the most stylish skier
You haven’t watched any hunter edits have you?
@@VinCrudo he just skis like a robot
@@---yx7ti that’s just not true, watch his edits or movie parts, just cuz he doesn’t wear XXXXXL clothes doesn’t mean he doesn’t have style lol
@@VinCrudo he rides short skis and rides more upright than most
@@steve-hp3uq He’s just tall man, they don’t make volkl’s big enough, also style comes down ti trick selection and he’s got such a tasteful bag

I agree, but if your good enough you get a pass. ex: Harlaut
i think It's nice that not everyone is wearing trackpants, and womens sunglasses...
But you do you, its all sweet.
But lets remember that rad skiers have looked flamboyant since the 60's
bro did not get that japan at all
No hate towards Hugo but his calls were very questionable
Unfair judging… both Hunter and Noah killed it but sucks when bad ref calls is the deciding factor of the game!
fr refs always favourizing, wanted noah to win so badly i luh his steezy. same steez as you n i lih yo steez aswell
yeah g i would not ever give the nose grab to hunter, and noah's front safety on the rail was 100% good, this sucks.
100
Yeah it was unfair, how can they count Noah’s “Japan” grab, or his backswap pretzel 180.
@@VinCrudo weird ass judging no hate to noah and hunter tho
Damn, game could’ve been dope… bad ref
yee, 2bad we ddnt get to see more safety slides
Good style from Noah, but a lame game to watch for some reason.
Awkward matchup
this was awkward to watch ...
This ref was fkn dookie. Says “im gonna keep it tight” then calls good on the next early off? Nvm buddy has no personality. Show some excitement bro
Noah had no place being in this cup to begin with. Hunter will win this whole thing.
