It left us baffled, arguing in the forums and generally pretty put out.
There were a few dodgy calls, there always is.
A Hall your apology is accepted for the boot grab.
It was really refreshing to see what went down in the stunt ditch and creativity was rewarded here… Alex Hall is now repping Moncler - $350 t-shirts are the name of the game.
Nick Goepper was rocking a throwback kit to his youth days, red bucket and jacket and jeans.
Andri will get hate for his slopestyle attire but if Basquiats estate got paid then I dont mind it.
Always the most steezed.
Superpipe
Halfpipe skiing will always be one of the most impressive freeskiing disciplines, without question.
But, for the last few years it has gotten somewhat stale.
This was a great watch.
Dub 16 straight into a same wall alleyoop flat 5… wow.
I wonder if we see him do back-to-back dubs on the same wall in years to come.
But Im not sure physics can be bent that far.
Skiing through huge amounts of pain and still coming out on top, pain is temporary.
Amy Fraser was hugely impressive too, with 3-way 900s.
Halfpipe, youre back!!
It is what it is.
But I will say he may have given one of the worst winning interviews Ive ever seen.
Troy just wanted to win.
Which is fair enough, we get it youre a competition skier, ergo are competitive.
You could have maybe shouted out your fellow competitors, thanked someone.
But you had a funny story about telling your agent you want to win?
I need to refresh my definition of the word funny it seems.
The style jump was a nice addition but it maybe needs some tweaking.
Especially if a dub 10 safety counts as stylish… thats a My First Dub not a style trick.
Tess won this round for me overall, rodeo 7 dub Japan.
Maggie Voisin held it down too.
The coverage was better than last year, no Stoney McBlaze or Snowboard Jesus to be seen.
It was replaced with a stream of consciousness on twitch which was eye-wateringly dull and mind-numbing.
What ever happened to athlete profiles and their stories.
Bring that shit back!
You proved yourself to be a mouth-breather.
I said what I said.
Maybe just play the SLVSH finals on one day?
I dont know if this beats streetstyle as a more watchable event.
So argue, discuss or agree but one things for sure, that was definitely an X Games.
P.S I won our staff prediction pool, thanks for the lunch boys!
