Game 8 || Oscar Wester vs. Vincent Gagnier || SLVSH CUP GRANDVALIRA '19 

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

vincent playing really dirty tho

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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!

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

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

Still salty about how Vinny reffed that Jesper game

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

Hugo VS Emil FINAL IS LOOKING MORE AND MORE POSSIBLE

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.

I wanted Vincent to call the 720 screamin' lol

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

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

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

Come on Taisei, bring it home

1:05 That knuckle landing must've hurt

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

Quebec is in Canada

Fier QC!

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.

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

Drapeau du québec lets gooo

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

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

So entertaining....

always happy when I see woodsy as ref

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

Gnarly Qc moves !

Guess Vincent is a snowboarder at heart 😂😂

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

oscar westers goggle tan line makes my life

I’m proud to live in Quebec to!!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

Oh my

Oscars goggle tan at the end lol

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

vinny had such niche tricks

Vinnie is a freaking mage on those rails

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.

Vas y Vin

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

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

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

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.

Oscar should have one Vincent did the most random stuff.

Difference between flair and underflip pls?

Not gonna lie Vincent in benis for calling all those obscure tricks

i need this o'neill jacket :(

What is vincent flag???

Vincent doing only sw5050

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

QUÉBEC REPRESENT 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

We almost at round 2!!!!

1:37 switch 7 "bly" mute

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

Oscar going biiiig🔥

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

Vincent has a fucking lit rail game🤘🏼🔥

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

#aptfteambattle

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

7:35 jep its a zeach at least wakeboarders call unclean- pre/after spins on rails like that

Hello

i love vin, but he definitely cheesed the fuck out of oscar with all those 5050 tricks haha

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....

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

More falls on the first set 🤔

vinny needs to crank his dins damn

vincent played so dirty

Should be a letter if you lose a ski

Vinny fricchettone

Vincents tricks were literally just 5050's

such nice calls from Vincent

vincent gagnier is the most creative skier

Everyone in the comments salty about Vinny's win stfu.. the guy can octo 14 and do anything Oscar could on jumps but with crazier grabs. Had a 3 point deficient and still came back with tricks that Oscar should have known where going to come into play. Thats his style what else do you want ? him to look like a fuckin pencil robot?

Vinny showing why creativity is important

That’s bs just because Vincent Can do party tricks ( they were still cool

buy new bindings Vincent

YES VINNY !!! HOLY SHIT HAD ME SCARED AT THE START. FCK YES

Nice game

Like 404

bit of a disappointing game....Is Vinny ponying up a bunch of money to make this tournament happen? Hope the next round has more consistency

woodsy is a god damn beast

You like to see it... (vincent knocking out comp skiers with style and throwing down creative tricks)

Oscar is fire on the attack but cant defend

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

Speed bitch slapped vinney Also vinney got lot more style

Wtf was dat pole grab lmao

lol why does Ferdi look so lost the whole time hahaha
