Ayumu won compare them however you want but going 14,14 back to back is still the hardest thing anyone has ever done in a pipe, should’ve won him the gold at the Olympics 2…
Incredible runs as always (ayumu still my favorite here btw haha) and what a pleasure to have the crowd back 🤩🤩 Also biiiig shout out to Brandon and Craig, I just love their way of commentating 😂🙌 they make the xgames so much more enjoyable to follow! As a french guy we don't really have that kind of cool commentators for our events, I just dream of having guys like this in france 😝
Obviously, Scotty James is a beast and he put the best run he could. But let's be real - Ayumu went bigger, higher, and stomped harder tricks. I agree Scotty had more style to his tricks but for me the winner is Ayumu.
I understand where you are coming from however the reason Scotty was rewarded a higher score was because he used switch back and a switch back 12 is one of the hardest things in the pipe while alums didn’t use any switch back. But its definitely a back and forward between those two and we can expect them to be battling lol.
They need to advertise that they are showing this on TH-cam. In Norway now they don't even show it on the television. First time since... whenever. They could have had millions of live viewers if they did their job. Now they have 21k on this video a day after competition. Shocking
they replaced format with a jam format, giving the athletes more runs and a chance to switch it up everytime, its just better for the soul of snowboarding.
Scotty, the only guy taller than the Monster Energy Girls. I remember watching Hannah Teter's bro Abe (6'4") doing 20ft airs 20 years ago at US Open. Physics never changes.
@@ryancarr9 Oh man! I was Abe's biggest fan boy - just as tall as him, bought the Burton Canyon because he rode it. Drove from Toronto to Stratton to watch him compete at the Open. I remember maybe 2001 -Danny Kass won and Abe came 2nd, I was so pumped. Used to write him personal emails haha...I took 35mm slide shots of him blasting over us on the deck...I'll have to dig those up, maybe email you some digitals (scans of course because everything back then was still film! lol). Glad he is doing OK these days.
@@xSanji1 totally agree he goes huge. The Japanese coaches use to teach 'you don't have to win, just make sure you go bigger than everyone else!" zeroo speed checks, and they are amazing on their edges, proper forward lean, etc....
Awesome performances and production. One thing I thought was weird was hearing the Technical Director in the last 5-10 minutes very quietly in the background. Maybe double check to make sure her mic isn't live to broadcast or the show recording as you could hear her speaking to the crew and then counting to features at the very end. LOL
Can't believe how many people are saying Ayumu should have won, that's crazy talk. Here's why: Ayumu is doing trick combinations that he, Shaun White and now Yuto Totsuka have been doing since 2018. FS 1440 into cab 1440 is old news, and judges take note of the fact that Ayumu didn't throw any switch backside tricks at all. . Scotty James did switch BS 1260, a trick that literally only he can do, into cab 1440, a trick only a handful of people can do. That trick combination has never been landed in a full competition run before, so Scotty absolutely deserves to win, what he did tonight was historic and unprecedented. If Ayumu landed his final run, then we're in a different conversation.
@@mangomariel Well, style is an individual thing. What I would offer is there isn't much variety in Ayumu's runs. On run 3, his grabs were: FS 1440 Indy grab Cab 1440 Indy grab FS 1260 Indy grab Backside 1260 mute grab FS 1080 truck driver grab One backside trick, and no grabs on the backside. 😐 Scotty, only the other hand: Switch BS 1260 mute grab Cab 1440 stalefish FS 900 tail BS 1260 mute FS 1260 stalefish
Lmk when Scotty can do back to back 14s… (he can’t) I like Scotty fun to hangout with when he was younger but ayumu has always been on another level. Remember Ayumu is just coming back from 2 years of non comp riding also.
@@ryancarr9 Scotty has both FS 1440 and cab 1440, just can't or hasn't thrown them in combination. I'm a fan of Ayumu but to me it's pretty obvious why he didn't win on this occasion. As I said, if he landed the full run with the triple cork, it's a different conversation.
@@suspended8671 ok so ayumu spins 3 directions and does 3 grabs, and scotty spins 4 directions and does 3 grabs. Not a huge difference in variety tbh, but it's true switch BS is really hard so I guess he was rewarded for that. Still think Ayumu has way better style tho, and he goes higher, which should be rewarded aswelll.
Grandes todos los riders !! a la organización solo decir, que no deberían de subir las motos en un momento de máxima concentración, el ruido de las motos podría desconcentrar a los riders y esto podría ser peligroso!!
They spelled Joey Okesson's hometown of' Southbury, CT incorrectly. They had "Southberry". As someone from Neu Yorke city I know the town and its pretty big in Connecticut. Fail.
That triple by Ayumu was nuts, he made it look so easy when it’s the craziest trick ever done in a halfpipe

Thanks again. You should be hired by these guys at this point.
WE WANT SCORES BACK AGAIN
ja mand
James and Ayumu are just in a different league when it comes to this stuff, nonetheless everyone here is an insane athlete
So true
Agreed. I dropped into a pipe and it dropped me haha
So to be able to spin and flip whilst maintaining speed is just incredible
While the spins are amazing, the method has always been my favorite classic trick to watch. ❤️🔥
It was really fascinating being able to hear the production near the end. These guys put in a TON of work to make events like these run smoothly.
ayumus first three jumps 17 feet was insane
Ayumu won compare them however you want but going 14,14 back to back is still the hardest thing anyone has ever done in a pipe, should’ve won him the gold at the Olympics 2…
Scotty put down the best glory run of all time....
Still think Aiumu was a bit more tech and went bigger tho
Incredible runs as always (ayumu still my favorite here btw haha) and what a pleasure to have the crowd back 🤩🤩

Also judging is also on creativity and since aluminium did lots of the same rotation he would’ve been scored a bit lower
Ayumu triplecork perfect 👍 最高
トリプルの後少し引っかかってますね💦
Hirano must have been tired of being on the podium so he invited his brother to join him each year.
Ayumu is going to own this discipline for years to come. He’s different. Watch out Scotty
Hirano is robbed every single year
My cousin was his coach it sucks watching him get robbed all the time.
Thankfully he got gold at the Olympics
He’s a g
They need to advertise that they are showing this on TH-cam. In Norway now they don't even show it on the television. First time since... whenever. They could have had millions of live viewers if they did their job. Now they have 21k on this video a day after competition. Shocking
Man I miss the 3 run system.
I agree, miss the scoring. Doesn't really feel like a competition anymore. Final run and there's pressure to beat the leaders 92 to get gold
Next year Ayumu is gonna slay with that tripple congrats to James though
I love these Games: snow, sport, joy.
thank you for putting those full competitions on youtube it's so cool to watch , btw anyone know why they removed the /100 scoring ?
they replaced format with a jam format, giving the athletes more runs and a chance to switch it up everytime, its just better for the soul of snowboarding.
These athletes and competitors are just on a different level, wow 🤟
It's 2022 and all we get is 720p 😒😔
3本目で金とれんとかどんだけ期待のハードル高いんよ…
Those guys are Kings ! Incredible to see those performances... Amazing, Thks for that !
Scotty, the only guy taller than the Monster Energy Girls. I remember watching Hannah Teter's bro Abe (6'4") doing 20ft airs 20 years ago at US Open. Physics never changes.
ayumu is like 5'6 and goes 17 its crazy
Back when the Open was in Vermont, The Teter’s are my cousins. Abes still a gentle giant! Love this comment :)

i figured out what she was saying at the very end, she's calling the scene changes in live production lol
The best part of this event is when riders fall or sketch out and they start to have fun and do slashes and handplants
Scotty is a beast in the pipe, such a sick flow!!!
720p.... Why...?
Dman I remember watching these on TV and being so hyped .
Excited af for the xgames
I like how it look like cool warm up runs till Ayumu hit the pipe😂

please uploud more full competitions thanks
they do that everytime there is a competition, just sub to them and u'll see
@@trondlewis i'm from Germany maybe that's why I only can See this füll competition
@@louuuns5304 nono, im from denmark. They live stream them, and then post the full competition afterwords, both on youtube
@@trondlewis OK great thank you👍🏻
14:25 "It's always time for a snack" yes it is
Ayumu deserved the win, unfortunately silver is all he gets
Ayumu could get a perfect score with the trip then the two 14s and 12s
35:06 "not every score gets runned"
Where did the difference between AYUMU and SCOTTY come from?
43:22
Ayumu falling twice
Let's go X games!!!!!!🤘🤘🤘🤘
Ayumu! 🔥
Why do they keep saying this ad free and then we have
streaming ads?
10:10 EXCELLENT "Scarface" !!
The amount of ads in this is laughable
Get TH-cam Premium 😅
@@abagar2000 Nice try, TH-cam employee 😜
now imagine all dis in da winter olympics this year.
good times incoming.
X Games, for the love of snow sports why put Adverts in the middle of runs ?? before and after no worries but not in the middle!!!

What is up with the women standing at the bottom? It's like a relic of the 70s to have women standing around just to be objects and eye candy.

I miss sal masekela hosting the x games
The announcers are a bit cheesy nowadays. Sal was so articulate but kept it stylish.
22:15 typical siri
Let’s gooooo!🔥🔥🔥
歩夢が1番カッコ良い💖
Scotty James is the new Shaun White. I’m not sure why he won that.
He is american.
@@trondlewis he’s literally Australian
@@thedosman3469 some people 🙄
He’s good but there will never be another Shaun white. No one was even comparable with white when he was around for all those years
This was the second year in a row where Shaun white got invited and didn’t go to x games… smh 🤦♂️
What do you guys think about that handplant. The hand never could reach granted speed to plant off the rim. Is this a legal handplant?
Just put up a score, please!
49:10? Do Pipe riders use smelling salts? Sure looked like thats what Bowman did before his last run. 😳
Why are the judges so biased to the most famous riders?
🔥🔥🔥
She took two of what???
TV commercial person so high she forgot to turn off her microphone???
Me snobode longtime.
Boot grab and touches on landing perfect 100 lol so someone else do the same run get a perfect run also
the girl at the end in the audio
Lets go Scotty.
💯👏👏👏🤘
The ccp Olympics won't be this good😂🤣

Yoooo
Let's go covid
How did no one give at least a high five to these hot monster chicks? 😕
