Can we just take a second to appreciate the fact that Craig is literally the most energetic, informative , and literal best snowboard comp announcer? Like i literally don’t want anyone else
Svens consistency, style and difficulty on the rails are unmatched. So precise. And his jumps are so tasteful and cool! But I think judges did a good job.
I snowboard for the very first time this weekend. And my respect for these professionals and many more people on their way has gone through the roof. It’s mind blowing that there are people out here that are capable of these insane tricks literally creating history
This was one of the best, if not the best, Winter X Games Slopestyle comps in history. We literally witnessed a 1980 this year (even if it was sloppy or an accident). I follow Marcus on TH-cam and was hoping he’d win, but Mark McMorris 100% deserved that win. It was a flawless 4th run while Marcus’ run could’ve been cleaned up a smidge. This was awesome! I’ll be in Aspen/Snowmass in less than 2weeks & am even more hyped for the trip now! Thank you X games for delivering this beauty!
Mark and Marcus are my fav riders. I like watching Kleveland more. But honestly mark deserved that, 3 clean runs, 3 triples.. that's why he's ahead of Marcus.
Love how Craig isn’t to biased watching his brother very professional if that was my brother I would be screaming and going insane and be cheering him on
Mark’s 4th run was flawless. Hands didn’t ever touch the ground. Marcus’ run wasn’t flawless. His hands hit the ground and had rail bobbles. Plus that first 16 > rodeo (no matter which way they spin).
Too bad Rene, you're excellent, lack more confidence. Mark was fantastic, and Marcus was amazing because he did'nt give up. All very incredible!! First time watching, beautiful and extreme sport.
Dam tough one to call. I'd still say Marcus won this. Rails were cleaner and more style imo. The jumps were both on par though which I can see people would debate.
Nah, although he did a 18 marks 16’s over shadowed his double rodeo on the first jump (I wish that Markus would have got the triple gold would’ve been sweet to see)
I think it would be dope if one of the snowboarders could do a backside 1600 method. I think it's amazing the degrees of spinning these guys are getting these days. I love watching the X games and seeing all of these competitors progressing over the years. 😁 Each year, the games always turn out epic. And the competitors bring their A game.
Also was wondering why the camera people are so close during the runs? Is it possible to give the athletes some space while they are sending it? Just wondering ? Thanks!
I think it says a lot (of good stuff) about the judges that they ranked them this way in the end. They understand there's a fine line between technicality and cleanliness; they don't want to reward huge hucked tricks that aren't properly stomped. It really shows too when you look at the 2023 competition and how MK's triples were the conventionally harder ones but McMo had but Sparky's rails were cleaner and sightly harder and his QP airtime slightly bigger.
this might be a dumb question but when they say switch-"whatever trick" does that always mean right foot forward or does it change if the rider is goofy? and if the latter what's to stop a regular rider for saying they're goofy and just do every thing in switch?
Switch = Opposite of your normal stance. Regular stance is left foot forward so a regular rider is switch if they are right foot forward. Goofy stance is right foot forward normally, so going left foot forward is switch for them.
@@vidfreak099 i feel like none of you read my full comment and just answer what switch it. I'm not asking what switch is. I'm asking what xgames considers switch. And you did answer that part. But again what's to stop me a regular rider to say that i ride goofy and the tricks that I'm doing are all in switch to get more points
@@bmx51nx2 Only answered the first part of your question. You did ask for clarification on switch, but I did miss the second part of the question. These guys are professionals and are in the public eye. They post tiktoks, instagram stories, etc of their riding. Most fans and the judges are well aware of what stance they ride in, and trying to lie for some extra points in a competition like this would be difficult. Its almost like trying to convince somebody that you are left handed over right. You might be able to get away with it for a short period of time, but the more people are watching what you are doing it becomes harder to hide which hand you really prefer.
We used to do these tricks in video games and we'd all be like it's so unreal....20 years later it's reality. Just insane level of riding, where does it go from here?
are you allowed to run the clock down? like if youre already top place, are you able to just take a super long slow run so the time runs out and you win
@@LiveRad24 well is there a rule against it? You're in top place and there's like A couple minutes left and next up is the person who went first so everyone would get another go. Instead of doing a full run I would just do a slow run so no one else gets another chance to beat me
Go slow mo on that Sven fall👀😳he propelled forward full speed right to his head whipped his body around and smacked his face again on the ice. Dude deffinetly got a sever concusion
@28:59 Mons Roisland's style is cool I'd caution against using Thug Life as a cool couture. Thug Life was a proposed contract with thugs nationwide to try to help the insane urban situation millions of African Americans face every day. The Black Panthers died because the FBI savagely rooted them out of existence. Thug Life was Tupac Shakur's attempt at helping. Don't get me wrong, "Gangsta," culture & style IS "cool," & permeates American & world culture completely. It found its way into snowboarding long ago (remember the bandanna days?). But not many white people know much about the origins of gangs, the history of the people from gang-infested areas, and the history & movement of a people trying to stand up for themselves. The black community's attempts to better itself in many ways have been sabotaged by white culture & the government itself. Their attempts to work with gangs to stop the violence, protect each other from the police, feed & take care of all children, get people off drugs, fight for equality & the money & life stolen by rich white Americans white culture. What Mons is doing is called "cultural appropriation." I'm not trying to judge him. So I pose this single fact. The millions of disenfranchised people from the "ghetto" represented by things like Thug Life have never ever had the chance to ride a snowboard.

Dusty Henricksen reminds me of Torstein Horgmo a little bit. Both have such bold & steeeazy ways of riding.
The fact that there's a plane sound every time someone is in the air cracks me up

Send it y’all! Super sick runs everyone! Hope to be there end of Jan. to watch ! Yall are the best! All of yall!
Love to see a good Slopestyle course that the riders can actually stomp…not speed management nonsense. Dew Tour needs to take notes on this
Wow Mark McMorris and Markus Klevland were on fire. Was expecting more from Dusty
Crazy event. Honestly asking here, what would put Mark's run above Marcus's? Either way, this was epic!
@@bird-killer 18 is also bigger than 16. Plus that's a fs rodeo off toes.
Marcus rails were better than Mark McMo too! But yeah Marcus 1st jump might be a little less hard than Mark 1st jump but Marcus 1st jump was steezy!
Mark’s 4th run was flawless. Hands didn’t ever touch the ground. Marcus’ run wasn’t flawless. His hands hit the ground and had rail bobbles. Plus that first 16 > rodeo (no matter which way they spin).

Super shout out to the camera guys following these guys 🎥👌

underrated hero of the event....absolute stud.
the fact that mark is doing 3 triples is insane. snowboarding as come so far
The level of progression that snowboarding has reached is unbelievable!
These cameramen are so impressive though!

Daniel Dhers did just that in bmx park back in the day. He had the lead and celebrated just enough before his last run to run the clock.
@bmx51nx2 these competitors are all bros, you would lose a bunch of respect from them and your fans if you did that
I wish more people went for that uprail on the first rail set. That rail looked so steep and sketchy I was wanting people to hit it all weekend
can we work on these camera angles

Sucks for Dusty not doing to hot this year fell 3 out of 4, pressure probably got to him for being the youngest but he'll come back next year
I like the old rating system more
But did Rene land that 1980 or what? The commentators just kind of glossed over it
720p in 2022 RLY?
Rene was robbed. Torille.
Ma boy Darcy!!! 🎉
Rene Rinnekangas was stole!!! The judges stole his 3nd place.
next up 2160s and 2340s
I wonder how often they practice those 16s and 18s I mean how many times can someone roll those dice a day and come away unhurt for the competitions
