Nothing is quite like Unrailistic.
The craziest rail features, the world’s best rail skiers, and some total curveballs.
Red Bull also did a great job of producing the show too, fun to watch but easily understandable.
They missed a few tricks in the production but they’ll get there.
To me, Unrailistic seems a great middle ground.
It’s crazy, inspiring but also consumable.
The format was interesting, with the best four features adding up to your final score out of 100.
You could crash other features, revert, skip features to get speed, etc.
And you got bonus points depending on how you did on best trick.
It felt like a fun middle ground between a comp run and a jam session.
Rather than recap the runs, I want to talk about the features.
The monster ‘double-double S thing’ seemed impossible but Matej and Andreas showed up on it during best trick.
There were, of course, some big highlights too:
- Lisa Zimmerman is so back.
The front swap p4 on the dancefloor rail was super sick.
Switch 2 onto the rainbow, 5-swap on the multi-feature, cork 8 blunt out.
- Joel Magnusson got called loose but lit by TJ Schiller, which has to be a career highlight.
He had a very complete run and got a bit underscored IMO.
Interesting scoring here too.
- Jesper: Bodyslide wallride hand drag 2 out the dancefloor, three swap cont.
6 on the rainbow.
- Theo Thoren: Front swap transfer to back 3 swap transfer on the multi-rail.
Winner winner chicken dinner.
