First time watching the x games live and absolutely loving it. Used to live in whistler from 2005-2009 and this is bringing back some amazing memories of going through the park everyday when I was younger 🙏
Of the last 3 or 4 years i would say im having the most fun with this one. Can even say ive gotten my mom to watch with me again like when me and my brother were kids. Weve been watching it my grandpas hospital room in and out of his responsiveness. Which isnt ideal, but we are all waiting now and xgames aspen is a good refeshing thing other than game shows and grandma and mom are both asking questions constantly about like, "what in the world did he or she just do?" Haha its great
Love that Mark mcMcorris still competes, he was just a rookie when I was in my mid/highschool snowboard days. Shaun white, halgador, torstien horgmo, and others were peak and passed but McMorris is still peak!
Crazy where this is now. I was at winter x in Vt in 98 and winning runs were literally half the rotations. 😂. But it was epic back then I was all swag’d out and looked the part and got let in with all the athletes and partied with Sal and everyone at the private bar. Super fun. 😂😂😂
I loved the old X Games formats. Live playoffs and then going straight to the finals is ridiculous. you're just asking for injuries and exhaustion. 6 boarders, 3 runs each to Crown the King of Slope Style Aspen is what should be happening. Instead of a gold medal, it should be a Crown, my friends.
For those saying the format is trash, there’s a difference between trying to make the top 5 and trying to win gold. That’s a different level of pressure and competition. It’s about who can step the technicality up when it matters most, not who has the best run in all the rounds.
i don't mind the playoff system if we get more runs from the "best", but keep the scores from first round, just give extra chances for playoff qualifiers
No one here is gonna talk about the run liam brearly was trying? 2 fakie to fakie triple corks in a row one of which is an 18????! He's gonna win this event the next 2 or 3 years if he can land all that cleanly
Slope style is the only decent event left. It’s also funny how they said sellout crowd, that crowd was pathetic hahaha compared to years ago. X games seems to be dying out. They got rid of a lot good events
Spinny or not, big air was great! As for sellout I assumed maybe the event just doesn't allow too many but I do wonder. More of a summer X guy myself but have to check out the winter stuff every year too (remember the days of FMX with studded tires and snowmobiles, miss that stuff)
where has all the style gone in snowboarding ? it is not about number of rotations (that is called figure skating) snowboarding is all about style !! Taiga was the only one who showed a glimpse of style
6:10 He's gonna need a hub after this event. That was a huge fall and it just goes to show how hard the sport really is and how high up they're flying into the air.
that was the fist time style actually got 1st in such a long era post/during shaun white style. nobody even dared to do a rotation under 720 aside from the occasional danny davis run. good to see it back in the majority of runs but it's just gonna be pushed out of the sport once again if you keep judging like its a trampoline gymnastics contest
Taiga’s first run is unreal
Hate this format cause he had the best run but because it wasnt in the "final" it dont count like thats stupid
Liam first run was better, cleaner 18 and more technical rails
They should have a side award for first run named something like "First Try" or something
Brought a tear to my eye
everything is unreal! these tricks were not even possible in the first PlaySstation snowboard games
They should have a side award for best run.
@@semaj06 they should all kiss afterwards like me and my homies do. That’d be so tight
@@Yourewrongbuddy frfr that would be sick
Can't decide if I like this format. Playoff is cool, but having to throw away a crazy score and hit that run again is rough.
Yeah, weird that the best score of the day might not even get you a medal.
That's how the NBA Slam Dunk competition is too. I think it's a good format for the most part and will be good most of the time.
Agreed, whoever puts down the best run should win in the end.
@@semaj06 who cares about the nba slam dunk tho... peaked in 2016-17
Yeah tigas first run would have won if it was still the best run of the day, kinda stupid, should be his gold
Shoutout to Brando and Craig for always bringing the best commentary
i respectfully disagree

I’m here for the athletes. Was at the first ones in person in the mid 90’s. Partied with half of them.

I do like that this format rewards consistency, which obviously Red proved himself to be.

I feel like Rene should be in his mid 30’s by now. “Kid”, (I’m 42 in a couple weeks) is already a legend. A different breed for sure.
i love the half of the interview you hear in the middle of runs
This year has stepped up the level MAJORLY. Insane. 🤯
Man that win had to make Red feel good about his offseason moves. Love to see it, what a beast.
i literally cant comprehend half of the tricks these guys are doing...... I wasnt even doing this stuff in SSX Tricky.
No one has better steez than Rene on a board
Happy for Red, but Taiga’s steezy is magical.
Agreed.. that 1st run was absolutely mental and soo steezy breezy
Thanks for letting us see this beauty
Awesome! Congrat's Big Red! Props to the Mark and Taiga as well!🤙
That Liam kid is really just crazy and Taigas Miller Flip 5050 was totally insane!
ya'll are insane levels of amazingness!!!!!!!!!!!
Mark is goated I love him
10:30 Johnny "Taiga" Tsunami 🐅Go BIG or Go home🤙🏽🏄♂️
Liam’s Backlip 🥨😮💨
What a top performing event. Every run is exciting.
Love that Mark mcMcorris still competes, he was just a rookie when I was in my mid/highschool snowboard days. Shaun white, halgador, torstien horgmo, and others were peak and passed but McMorris is still peak!
1st Run - 2:50
Another event, another set of great runs
@redgerard you just dropped the most impressive yet stylish run I got to see. Wow ! ...The overall level bumped up crazy this year
best scores from playoff should be carried over to the final, and the final should just be more chances for the top qualifiers.
yeah, dropping the playoff score makes no sense, just drop three riders and keep the scores
Taigas first run was craaazy love tricks like that over just helicopter spins
Completely sick
Taiga, Mons and Renees run was just insane!
Format is trash. Best run wins. This playoff thing is terrible.
Yeah multiple people should be wining gold and yet they get stolen from them
I love how the commentators say famous meme quotes they actually rock!
It’s officially ssx tricky season. Between this and big air.
Crazy where this is now. I was at winter x in Vt in 98 and winning runs were literally half the rotations. 😂. But it was epic back then I was all swag’d out and looked the part and got let in with all the athletes and partied with Sal and everyone at the private bar. Super fun. 😂😂😂
Very instructive
Liam style is 🔥👏🏻

I don't snowboard, and this is insane!
First taiga run was the best of the whole thing

Red G Summit county represent!!!!
it seemed kinda slow out there on the snow that day. these guys are amazing though!!
I get it it... it's forced upon the commentators, but why does Hiroto agree to be there....
that taiga guy is playing SSX tricky for real
So strange to suddenly delete all the scores
I feel that Red is capable to beef up the 2nd and 3rd rail even more
I feel like Mons’s rail section was very underrated
Red is crazy broooo
i don't mind the playoff system if we get more runs from the "best", but keep the scores from first round, just give extra chances for playoff qualifiers
Old 3 run format was better
I love it when they crash cause then you can see them do some more stylish tricks instead of trying to impress the judges.
They should average the best score from the playoff best. Taigas pre run was a winner.
Taiga God mode
the drone drives me crazy
Not the Lisalmi for Rene :D
No one here is gonna talk about the run liam brearly was trying? 2 fakie to fakie triple corks in a row one of which is an 18????! He's gonna win this event the next 2 or 3 years if he can land all that cleanly
Rene is just the best
"He named it after a trailer park..." 😂
Love how Mons finally got fed up with people mispronouncing his last name 😂
53:00
Taiga gold 🥇
LETS GOOO
11:23 Fly like an eagle. 🫨🫨🫨🫨
I remember being a teen and this competition having so much hype and such a huge crowd... What happened?
Slope style is the only decent event left. It’s also funny how they said sellout crowd, that crowd was pathetic hahaha compared to years ago. X games seems to be dying out. They got rid of a lot good events
Have you seen the ticket prices? Shits insane!
@@brentdale5730how much was it?
Spinny or not, big air was great! As for sellout I assumed maybe the event just doesn't allow too many but I do wonder. More of a summer X guy myself but have to check out the winter stuff every year too (remember the days of FMX with studded tires and snowmobiles, miss that stuff)
now I see why Mario Party has runner up rewards
others are mentioning a better run in this case
Doubles and triples aren't announced anymore. I think they are just assumed when a rider is doing a 16, 18, etc.
Am I missing something? At 13:45 Backflip Pretzel? Looks to me like not. He was riding a rail.
@@TimBesser I thought the same thing. Craig said “backlip”. Like a Back lipslide.
Ive realized i can only count to 1080 i guess 1260 cuz thats one more but nobody did more than 3 rotations in my day easy yo keep track of
How is this only in 1080p
I think 3 chances in the final would be better, seems like the playoffs had better verity of runs
Mark has like 30 medals
Taiga hasegawa best run
That more and more rotation is a thing is beyond me. Yeah it's hard, but it's not interesting in any way. The stuff Taiga did was something special.
21:36 actually that is an 1800, he was right
What's the song playing at 41:50 ?
These homies NUTTY 🔥🏂❄️
where has all the style gone in snowboarding ? it is not about number of rotations (that is called figure skating) snowboarding is all about style !! Taiga was the only one who showed a glimpse of style
just because you dont like their style doesnt mean they dont have any
back when x games ran on channel extreme sports
It looks like there's an icey pocket dead center before the kick starts on the second jump, everybody who hits that spot bobbles on the way up.
They should make thoes blue lines red
6:10 He's gonna need a hub after this event. That was a huge fall and it just goes to show how hard the sport really is and how high up they're flying into the air.
The X Games are a fraction of what they used to be. None of the locals go.
The fact that red doesnt compete in big air is nuts
I want to know the ratio of riders documented around the world who would take this jump vs riders who would take this jump and do a trick!
This guy wears his leash on the beach too.
they should have gotten the judges from sochi olympics.... only time in recent memory style actually won a gold
and that wasnt even as stylish as rene, dusty, taiga, mons, liams runs
that was the fist time style actually got 1st in such a long era post/during shaun white style. nobody even dared to do a rotation under 720 aside from the occasional danny davis run. good to see it back in the majority of runs but it's just gonna be pushed out of the sport once again if you keep judging like its a trampoline gymnastics contest
Funny there's like noone there to watch. X games use to be so cool back in 2008 era
Bs rodeo is still one of the best trick ever...
I dont understand.. Did Mark not want the gold? For his final run why not go bigger? At least do an 1800. Come on now.
Gosh the Sven crash made me throw up in my mouth. The first and third jump landings are so sketchy.
bro X_X this years X GAMES IS WACK
the rail section is too short...less larger jumps
No one’s got a snowmobile around there for medical?
Would mess up the landing snow
長谷川帝勝の予選の1本目には感動した
特にミラーフリップとBSロデオ1260
完成度とドライブ、まあ自分に負けちゃったねぇ…
ジェラートは進化してるけどマクモリスなんて10年くらい前から同じことしかやってないから早いとこ引退させなきゃね
Those drone pilots be doing wayyyyy too much flying under rails and stuff is film the dude
Where is patrick hofman ??
Stockhome Sweden?! Stockholm*…
Taiga was robbed of gold, could debate he was robbed of gold in 2 different events
Not Cool with a revert being a fall. Cmon Xgames, especially with Knuckhuck
Not very much snow in the area, where do you have the snow for all of this?
