- NST DAY ONE HEAD TO HEAD: Travis Rice vs. Kevin Backstrom
In what might have been one of the most anticipated battles of the entire event, the hometown hero Travis Rice was staring down the young Swedish prodigy Kevin Backstrom. Kevin put Travis in the backseat after putting down an unreal first run, as Travis couldn’t quite put down a clean run. However, in run two, Rice laced a clean line and forced a tiebreak round. In that third and final round, Travis and Kevin both put down clean, powerful lines but it was Travis Rice who just barely edged out Backstrom, eliminating Kevin and advancing himself on to Finals Day.

I'm a huge Travis Rice fan, but Kevins' runs were a beauty. So underrated.. But what a great event, felt like a video game.
Hello, unfortunately in this round the wrong attitude of the judges was noticed.
I'm a fan of Travis Rice, but this time I think Kevin Backstrom was better.
To my great regret, I saw how older and more experienced athletes are tolerated and young ones are underestimated, despite the fact that Kevin himself showed incredible skills.
Kevin's flow, style and massive f/s 720 was super slick.
the GOAT even said "Are you serious" after the 2nd round score
That double shifty is super sweet too @ Kev 🤙🙌
Always loved Rice after seeimg TITA, but Kevin deserved this one. He had by far the most entertaining run of them all, and obviously he put 110% into the last run.
KB took this one. He was robbed. Love T. Rice but KB should have went through
That’s not true🤣
It's so cool to see the appreciation that Travis has for Kevin🤙..Kevin is my favorite rider...hope to see him in these future events
Kevin got robbed.
Love T.Rice.... but KB killlt it. Should of won, even T.Rice at the end disagreed with the result. Bring back KB. If its going to be this type of judging, just give the 1st place to TRice just cuz he created the damn thing.
Th only score i disagrre with during the whole contest. last run was better bei Kevin, he should have won! =) Awesome riding of both though! love it
I still cant help to think what a torstein v KB semi final would have looked like… sigh
You are the Final Boss @ Trav 🤙
So much fun to watch!!!
I've Watched this head to head at least once a month since it aired and Kevin wins every time. the style and flo of KB's last run is on a level Trice didn't reach.
Yeah Kevin!
I liked Travis’s choice words
You the man!
Kevin was way more fluid and dream maker even though I really love T Rice!
Estou por aqui asirtindo e prestigando seu belisimo conteúdo 👍👍
KB took the win without a doubt. Judging like all contests is very subjective 🤙🏻
Horrible conditions, looks real tough
What the ef is this? They have Backcountry now? Sick
IDK, really felt like Kevin rode cleaner. That tiebreaker surprised me. Kevin shoulda taken it in the first two runs let alone the "tie breaker" third round.
What kind of Capita board is that?
What’s inside his beanie 🤔
Kevin won
Riders reaction’s said it all.
Even Travis knew judges screwed up.
After the landing get so F’ed can we start raking it? that way it’s a little safer For the riders plus better landings Which would make for better tv
Travis had a better last run no doubt at all. I'm actually a bigger KB fan but Travis had it. Cab 5 mute, fs 3 indy, backflip nose grab, switch bs 5 melon vs switch bs 180 no grab, small wildcat, stalefish straight air, bs 360 flapping hands, fs 720 tail.
Agreed! Well said buddy. Spoken like a snowboarder spelling it out for everyone who just saw KB's fluid style and ran with it. Kevin is such a great rider, and certainly he showed up and put it down. Travis had solid second run though and his third run, he pretty much autographed the course. And as they mentioned, Trav really was credited for riding switch, and rightfully so. This course is alot steeper than it looks and snow was not exactly optimal. So coming out and busting a super clean cab 5, and then that switch back 5 melon to stomped landing....is why he won. His lumberjacking.....hardly anything to discredit him for. It really was a coin flip. Well done Kevin....I really wanted him to win. Next year buddy
KB 100%
These judges ruin this.
No trees spot f next.. Please
Robbed, how did TR win that second round after coming short in that 🌲
Great show otherwise and sick runs from both athletes
Yeah pretty sure there’s some favoritism going on, KB definitely got jacked!
This is what snowboarding needs
Robbed bigtime!
Just cause it's his event the advertisers need him in longer, this was completely rigged for him to win if it was remotely believable before either run started
the announcer saying laax is Steep and gets a lot of snowfall 😂😂
Killed tree like a true gentleman
It's a business move. Travis gets the bigger eye balls.
Killing the tree…environment first…lol
get shaun white in this for 2023
I think Rice has gotten too used to perfect conditions in his Heli world of endless fluff. Welcome back to the resort world lol where we mere humans must play.
Kevin got Robbed
travis rice has changed. His little winks and pushiness.... Backstrom would have been better for the sport and did a better job no reason he should not have moved on.
Kevin got robbed
Judging, what a joke! KB won out & got wronged by the panel.
Kevin was robbed.
Let's Go Brandon!
Brandon who ?
@@electricpassmountain Joe Brandon...
@@firstlast2514 Who's this ?
Pure corruption. Kevin won that.
Kevin won
