I’m convinced the Judges don’t actually understand that Rene wasn’t just being stylish, he was blowing the minds of all snowboarders. That trick is way more difficult than they can fathom.
Unfortunately bored spin to win get better score, because of this, snowboarding is losing popularity, it's just not fun to watch. Thanks we have guys like Rene
So good with the addition of the style score. Very good of xgames to introduce knuckle huck, and now a style element in big air to. But I think style should be worth more. Or have two style jumps, bonus points if they are very different from each other.
Big air should be based on style and flips miss the days of mark Mcmorrison, torstein horgmo yuki kadono etc cause spins is just dragged at this point that’s why slopestyle and superpipe are the main title contenders
Flips should be scored so much higher. A triple flip, to me, is so much better than any number of spins. The winner did well but honestly it's just not for me.
@@PlaySA a couple years ago people said they`d rather see flat spins then flip spins (corks) So. it is just too much spin in general. The style jumps should have more weight, or have two style jumps, one left one right side, for example.
"This is a Russell Brand 'are you not entertained' situation." The attempted reference was Russell Crowe from the movie "Gladiator" in the year 2000, and not the british comedian. We love it just the same. Live broadcasters get no respite.
@14:26 & @ 14:38 "off the toes" - & a 100% perfect/comfortable landing... Mons! ... ... keep watching if u wanna see an 18 landed at 100% perfection AGAIN!!!
Taiga did deserve the win imo but a lot of the other runs were scored too low. Incredible contest as usual though! Also glad to see a comment about this below, but please can we at least get 1080P this summer and into the next winter X!? 1080p 60fps even better if doable lol
@@MonsterArmy21st To put it more bluntly, unless you're able to create an entertaining video showcasing and proving your involvement in the event, you sound more like you're just trying to boost your own ego while expecting complete strangers to take your word for a comment that may or may not be true.
@SethComposerGuy go look up battle Tested security and pull up the first video that is on their page. I'm the first guy faced, and I'm in the pocket of the drop and the knuckle. Try me
Great contest. The 360 recovery makes me want to see 360 landings on everything. Imagine a tripple cork 1800 and on landing they do a 540. It'd look so sick
I enjoy him not appearing in and winning every single event just bc he and his family own several sponsors. great athlete but sometimes appeared arrogant few years back, seems to be more relaxed and down to earth / snow nowadays tho. personally I enjoy him commenting much more than his move set which barely changed over the last 10 years besides adding rotations.
Another video ruined by the thumbnail. Would genuinely love to hear the reasoning from whoever decided that tactic with them @xgames. did you think it would make it more clickbaity? it doesnt.
@@jamesplaum1927That's weak, the style scoring is sick although I will say I don't understand the format, riders should be able to do multiple style attempts just like other attempts. But personally, I love the style runs, they look better overall than just spinning like a top. For that matter, triple or quad flip variations are WAY better than straight 1800s
@@jamesplaum1927 Also, the style is a tiny fraction of the total score, it's out of 10 while each direction spin is out of 50. So I'm calling bullshit on that explanation
I personally think that flipping the format would make it more of a viewer favorite: 10 points on the technical and split 45-point runs tricks they’ve honed to be their own. At least give it a shot once or something ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
The big gymnastics competition it seems. I love the spins but let's reward style and technique too please. Rene was unique and just didn't get rewarded.
Can we talk about how Big Air has become redundant with the way Slopestyle "money booters" are? The same tricks are being launched at the bottom of a rail course now. It's time to separate the two.. Maybe I'm just old.
@@dont4get2wipe Yeah, it really looked like he was mastering the tricks he was doing way more than the others, but they weren't what the judges were looking for.
Ski big air is far more interesting. I watched this one out of curiosity and you might hate me for that but it's just boring. Here most of jumps looks almost the same with similar grabs
Missed Dusty Hendrickson, Marcus Kleveland and fridge This xgames wasnt the same but got to see Liam throw it down dude is the best up and coming boarder no doubt
Rene had the two best tricks in the whole comp. Steeze > spin to win
Big air has always been about spin. That’s just how it is unfortunately
nah we lettin it rip like beyblades
Cant believe thast 34 score on rinnekangas - absolut insanity get those judges right out...
Best trick of the comp imo
True
X Games just turned into a spin-off and I hate it
Rene getting only a 34 on his nollie double 1260 or what ever that was is a crime
Exactly what I was thinking. Are we judging snowboarding or twirling acrobats on snowboards? Kinda silly these days imo
I’m convinced the Judges don’t actually understand that Rene wasn’t just being stylish, he was blowing the minds of all snowboarders. That trick is way more difficult than they can fathom.
34 for Rene tells all.
i want to see more of this hard style tricks
Unfortunately bored spin to win get better score, because of this, snowboarding is losing popularity, it's just not fun to watch. Thanks we have guys like Rene
Tired of the spins smh
True.
Style Portion should get it’s own event… new main event
Or 2 and 2. A contest within a contest.
love the style score addition. Trying to combat spin to win is a positive in my book
Rene got absolutely robbed 😮
I feel like this year the judges only have been into big spins
This is sick but 720p? its 2024 Xgames lets bump it up a little
Impressed by Tiarn Collins tbh, his style run was underscored as well it was the best one.
Yes it was underscored, but Hiroaki and Rene had better tricks on the style run
craig saying 1960 so many times is wild
A real shock.
Comin up 20 degrees short there chief
Brearley got robbed... Cleaned his first triple on run 4 and got 22 points :D gg
X games check your judging
Style is everything. Thank for new contest ❤
Not sure what the added value of that blonde girl from the bar is tbh… so American to have 3 groups with mics that just say nothing new
Literally what I was thinking. The only reason for it to be a thing is so they can say the name of a sponsor, literally no other reason
It's a promo for botox, couldn't you tell?

Love the new style section. Such buttery tricks to change up all spins
‘This is a Russell brand are you not entertained situation’ 😂
Brand, Crowe... same difference lol
Rene is the man he is so much more entertaining to watch
good to see jason ellis still hosting, hes such a good dude.
35:10 the football wordplay was sick
Rene wins in my book.
Appreciate the uploads, X-games, could do without the unavoidable spoilers on the video previews though.

22:31 that backside was Nasty
video quality seems t obe lacking a little bit? LOVE THEESE VIDEOS THO !
These judges are insane!
No one is saying “Where are those big spins I’ve been told about “
Rene got robbed
that switch method🔥🔥
39:28 your favourite snowboarder's favourite snoarboarder
so sad no marcus when they added the style aspect

Just so you guys are aware I'm in the background I am a security officer off to the side of the knuckle and the drop point. It was very fun.
Nobody cares
@stevo3938 I see someone is jealous they couldn't go, or did and got kicked out. Struck a nerve did I?

Thanks Winter X🙌now don’t do Jam Sessions again on Summer X either🙏
I miss the Peter line and forum days
Marcus Kleveland is the only person that can make a 1800 look stylish with an Indy grab
Style scoring still needs some work. How did a 180 pullback score the same as a 1080 double shifty?
I think it's sad that style has so little to do with a sport that used to be all about style
I've always been wondering that it's already 2024 and still 720p, would assume that xgames would have bit better equipment
Great contest. The 360 recovery makes me want to see 360 landings on everything. Imagine a tripple cork 1800 and on landing they do a 540. It'd look so sick
I agree style wise, but from a judge standpoint it’s simply out of control riding
Ok, a few things, that 1 spot light could be shifted, wear lighter colors, and what's with the 1 or 2 replays.
What do the S L R stand for on the scoreboard?
Style, Left rotation, Right rotation
Where was Kleveland this year?
Whats is name of new x games theme song? Is remixe big time
just insane
That dog lol 17:01
nice thumbnail xD
What happened to mccmorris? Can’t find anything online!!!!
I think he just knows that Big air has gone out of his repertoire. He can't do back to back 1980s. But he is good at slopestyle.
I enjoy him not appearing in and winning every single event just bc he and his family own several sponsors. great athlete but sometimes appeared arrogant few years back, seems to be more relaxed and down to earth / snow nowadays tho. personally I enjoy him commenting much more than his move set which barely changed over the last 10 years besides adding rotations.
He got old man. It's over.
I don't follow that closely, where was Marcus Kleveland this year?
Concussion
"can you win without doing an 1800?"
"Short answer: no"
There you go, fixed it for you
Hasagawas spins were proper mad, but come on. For Rene to get a 34 for that, and that wasn't the only creative huck being done dirty.
Not happy.
Tiga also went to otuter space with that 1980.😊
Awesome!!!Big Like 😛💣💚
They should have a style score and a difficulty score for each jump
Its impossible to give style score for bored spin to win fs or bs 3240 or something
@@zimjalali big spins aren't the only difficult thing. It's about new types of rotations and axes
Taiga is a monster but I feel like a few guys got hosed on their scores
34 for Rene
Jp representing! Ichi, ni, Japan! And good job on Dusty for giving his congratulations in good Japanese!

Been watching xgames my whole life but this judging and some scores makes it hard to watch these days. Doesn’t make any sense
Mons style trick was so 8 ovescored it's jokes.
"This is a Russell Brand - "Are you not entertained?" situation" . Wrong on two fronts dude! :)
Love how the commentator was proved wrong by the judges, no you can't win if you don't spin.
Bet they are relieved Kleveland wasnt there😂

If the contest is about progression why’s everyone ballin on the second jump? Be strategical homies it’ll look better and score bigger
Liam’s triple 12 how did his score go down after fixing his bobble in the landing? Waaayyyy under scored. Liam robbed!
The judges don’t seem to know how to score his unorthodox tricks
@@dont4get2wipe Yeah, it really looked like he was mastering the tricks he was doing way more than the others, but they weren't what the judges were looking for.
Hot take. Big air should have weight catagories like mma does. 140lb dude doesnt rotate the same as a 190lb dude
I think height categories would make more sense since you could chance your weight to have less competition if there were weight categories
The worst proposition ever
Stupid idea
Worse idea
Just not true
Spin to win is lame and killing the stoke for this event
the boards looks like helicopter rotors now a days...
insane 1800 and 1900's like what the fu.....!!!
great camera right into the brightest light ever right off the lip not fun to watch
Wanna know why nobody trust the X Games judges? Look at this 32:17 score...22 32:34 ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
Chris Corning always getting robbed. Fun competition. Needs to be more points towards style rather than the “spin to win” format.
Justice for Rene
The spins are getting insanely boring I want 2 see the guys get scored better for style
Which min/run is the winner?
Ski big air is far more interesting. I watched this one out of curiosity and you might hate me for that but it's just boring. Here most of jumps looks almost the same with similar grabs
Yes a road bike, aka a bike
They're helicopters!
Next year they're just gonna take off like a helicopter.
Missed Dusty Hendrickson, Marcus Kleveland and fridge
This xgames wasnt the same but got to see Liam throw it down dude is the best up and coming boarder no doubt
the judging has gotten so bad in big air it’s almost unwatchable
Tiarn Collins gets 6 for style run. Underscored to say the least. Biased judging.
Where's fridge???
"hund-RED"
Rene Steezekangas
These 45 kilo guys hahahaaaa no wonder
all of the scoring was so whack
I'm here for Jason Ellis!!
