go torstein!
You think he'll accept?

This is going to be really interesting. I'm pretty excited to see how it unfolds. I know Red Bull Media House is going to be getting more of my money to own this one on DVD.
 
It is amazing how the simple mention of a man by the name of Shaun White can influence a thread...this goes to show what a virus he is and how amazing he helps spread the sport of snowboarding..if I were you guys..I would hope for his appearance so he can grab the attention of millions and direct their attention to the event, which will make it a success and hopefully keep it around annually. It might even be nice to see him shut a bunch of the haters up...to think what can everyone hate on if he won a diverse contest like this...I guess you can always hate on his red hair? :cool: I look forward to this competition to take place...its going to be such shred porn :D

i'm afraid he won't even get an invite... the slopestyle scene is way too competitive nowawdays and torstein is caught in an awkward ground between the young guns like seb toots and marc mcmorris and the legends like terje...

I also wonder if pure street riders like Joe Sexton, Nic Sauve and Simon Chamberlain will get the invite for this event....

HA, these kids don't want to embarrass themselves...

Have you ever seen that one video of his first time in the backcountry and on a sled?

incredibly hilarious :laugh:

I feel like a reason mr. white will not attend is he doesn't want to be embarrassed and have mr. rice and company make him look like a fool. People will finally see he has no range in his snowboarding. He would look like a child out there
 
Agreed lets forget about Mr White. This looks like it could be amazing. I love the way Jake Blauvelt, Nico Muller and Terje ride. Not the most rotations or triple flips but just so much style. Thats the boarding I love to see and aspire to do in real powder on real terrain.
 
I don't want to be negative & definitely don't want it to happen, but I can see someone getting seriously hurt. If some of those riders actually accept they better make sure they're ready. I only see people like Rice, Lago, Terje, and Muller being able to do this course with tricks and style. Everyone else will just be trying to make it out alive.

Did you look at the pic gallery? They built a Heli pad for if/when emergencies happen.

this is who im most excited to see in this event...and totally on the same page with you on his and similar peoples riding...love his big floaty style. ive always been more drawn to style than tech when it comes to board sports...same in wakeboarding....dont get me wrong, i like the technical tricks in both, but would much rather see a BIG styly 180/360/single flip with a poked out grab than see all the crazy tech tricks
 
^^ I agree with this. Anything with better style is better to me than something that looks like he threw it out control. For this reason i can't really stand a lot of half pipe competitions or prefer watching freestyle skiing. However I've been noticing a lot more style coming into videos.
