Thank you for posting this! The X Games are held only once a year, and most people, including myself, miss the live broadcast. Now, people who did miss it live can watch as much as they want to!
Solaris-Orion It's once in the summer and once in Winter, as much as I know. They did have it 4 times in 4 different countries one summer, but that was a one-year thing.
"The judging was rigged because they didn't judge the way I expected it based on my experience from video games." Thats this comment section in a nutshell.
Judging was pretty off imo, Kreiner and Heimana got scored so low! Kreiner's 2nd run was fire! Instead I feel like Shaar's run got scored higher than it should have😐
Tristan had a good run. But how does his score go up every run and everyone else has shittier runs then their first runs? This judging is retarded and makes no sense.
For Heimana's first run I agree with the score, at least do a SINGLE flip-trick, the invert was pretty damn cool but those don't get scored like they should AND you needed more variety in your tricks.
Amazingly, I met Heimana years ago at a skate camp in Hawaii because he was coaching my group. I never thought much of it then but only now do I realize what a great opportunity it was
This was the first time I was actually interested in watching park and watched the whole thing. I mean nothing will be better than street to me but I'll probably watch more park in the future.
Loving the video; great camera angles to capture the action and really enjoying that you can hear the crowd reacting in the background - adds so much to the atmosphere. If only it could be in 1024 HD too!
Fun fact... Bob taught me how to kickflip with THE FIRM team at my after school skate club. The legend BOB took time aside to teach me when I barely knew how to Ollie. And changed my broken ass X games board for a brand new FIRM board with all new lucky bearings and black magic grip. I love 💕 that guy. Bob and Richard Mulder. Still have signed boards and T's. Shout outs to bob. Richard Mulder, lance mountain and rae barbie !!!!! I'll never forget those days
540s is really a ”basic” trick these days haha... Professional skateboarding is at a CRAZY level. I always think it cant get bigger but Im always amazed
Original Bones Brigade here…Love to see these guys whipping out some old originals, Fakey Air's, Frontside boneless and Indy's are ageless. Skating fast was originated in the 80's great to see these guys are still focused on Speed and accuracy trick to trick…..Why launch 4 stairs when you can launch 14 with speed.
sponsors pay them good money to rock their gear.....more sponsors logos on TV, bigger paycheck Thats why you see them show their boards to the camera, or point to logos on their clothes....they get bonuses
yeah but nearly every single one of them loses their hat at some point and it's just sitting there all crumpled on the floor you think the sponsors like that? It seems to me like a trend, like it looks "cool" when they "really send it" and their hat flies off, but I think it's silly and it makes me laugh.
It's all about the sponsors. They just want to see their logo as much as they can, even if it's only the first 2 tricks of a run. Well, actually, I wear a hat when I skate. I'm not sponsored. But I don't go near as fast as these guys either.
Becomes a moment when you have to learn to do skateboarding broo the rollers are attached to Your feet's that's much more easy than keeping the skateboard under your feet's while you're in the air I do rollers and board and that's my point of view brother Respect :)
How sick would it have been if Jagger or Pedro came back around, leaned down, and scooped up their hat that flew off in the middle of the run and kept going?
No ways, he interrupts the co-commentator constantly, tries to be funny all the time and just comes across arrogant and totally full of himself. I'm glad you enjoy him though, you are one of the few. I prefer Scotty so much more.
See I thought about this and pros commit hard enough and over take obstacles to were theres a good chance they will catch themselves so injury is not really a thing unless they don't commit which then they wouldn't be pros
@@GasTanks The problem isn't necessarily large injuries or huge bailouts. Skaters(or anyone in any sport) are prone to taking repeat injuries to the same locations. You want to minimize any damage you take if you plan to compete for a long time. Otherwise, a few years down the line you could find yourself needing surgery just to ride a board.
Yo this kid jagger practice at my local skate park. .. he asked me why I smoke cigarettes... I couldn't give him a good answer. So he said " well then treat it like your best trick.. you may not land it.. but try. ". So I quit smoking. Thanks kid !!
Commentator says Keegan lands "low" ?? So what. Try to do a man's sport in a kids body see how low you land.. the kid rips. And he called Clay's trick an indy cab?? It's called a todd twist. Invented in 1982ish...
i don't know if you guys agree but, VPS >>>>>>>>>>>>>> X Games i mean, 4 runs, if you fall, it ends your run the judging is way better Vans build up a park in your city and after the contest it's there for the locals.
That You'dliketoknow clay should have gotten at least an 86 on that second run, and Heimana...well his first run, definitely in the 80’s for sure. (He got a 68)
Thank you for posting this! The X Games are held only once a year, and most people, including myself, miss the live broadcast. Now, people who did miss it live can watch as much as they want to!
X Games are held all the time though? Not just once a year
It used to be once a year didnt it? Seems to have changed now though.
Solaris-Orion It's once in the summer and once in Winter, as much as I know. They did have it 4 times in 4 different countries one summer, but that was a one-year thing.
Denison the summer X-games are happening again in October in Sydney this year, so you're not correct
Geezy BT Really? Well, I did not know that. Still, only twice a year then.
What was up with the judging this year? Jagger, clay, and heimana all put down pretty flawless runs and the highest any of em got scored was 80.
As others have said, THANK YOU for posting the events for those of us without cable access to enjoy!! I will gladly sit through the ads for these.
“The Honolulu native who always seems to have a shirt allergy“ 😂
🤣😂🤣
54:44 lmao the guy handboarding xD
pfffffffffftt haha
I'm just watching for the tricks. The actual competition does not count because the judges scores aren't reflecting what is actually happening.
same
ебобо
How does the scoring work?
@@moboooop6919 However the judges feel should be scored. Someones 50 could be another's 30.
"The judging was rigged because they didn't judge the way I expected it based on my experience from video games."
Thats this comment section in a nutshell.
It’s like the Judges hate Clay.... his runs where solid!!!
it's like you hate using correct words
@@LMTR14 ?
Matt’s comment was perfectly fine and clear to understand, it was just a typo....hop off TH-cam and go change your tampon
His runs “were” perfect. (not where)
@@LMTR14 you suyk
68.66 for Heimana's first run?!?! WTF is going on. Hmmm, something fishy I think.
Blake J Rigged/fixed/bias
that was an 85+ no question
im hip that was at least an 80
Kids got no steez unfortunately
And even less for his second... does not compute
Judging was pretty off imo, Kreiner and Heimana got scored so low! Kreiner's 2nd run was fire! Instead I feel like Shaar's run got scored higher than it should have😐
@Lara M His first run was a podium finish too tbh.
Heimana’s first run was flawless. Wtf?
he did so much better than just a 68.66
shane and yuto standing next to each other, i love it, they both have kind of similar skate styles more finesse than force.
The judging is so random wtf
Skateboarding should never be judged ! Welcome to the corporate world !
Such a joke the x-games going forked up
@@ondeckskateboardshop7255 EDGELORD ALERT! EDGELORD ALERT!
Tristan had a good run. But how does his score go up every run and everyone else has shittier runs then their first runs? This judging is retarded and makes no sense.
"Trey Wood" the most skater name ever...
Hes an amazing skater tho
judging was questionable here..
It always is
snow very questionable
fast cash the talent is real, but some skaters get higher scores cause of their name and their sponsors, P Rod is a prime example.
Its really subjective I have found. Of course there some biased judges as well.
For Heimana's first run I agree with the score, at least do a SINGLE flip-trick, the invert was pretty damn cool but those don't get scored like they should AND you needed more variety in your tricks.
That's the sickest bowl set-up I think I've seen in a skate contest. Amazing job X Games.
Amazingly, I met Heimana years ago at a skate camp in Hawaii because he was coaching my group. I never thought much of it then but only now do I realize what a great opportunity it was
Honestly Clay Kreiner, could be a stuntman, the way he frickin salvages his failed tricks is unbelievable
Judging is pretty horseshit at times, but shredders all around though and a cool course!
x7 albert can do better.
Hip hop rap
This was the first time I was actually interested in watching park and watched the whole thing. I mean nothing will be better than street to me but I'll probably watch more park in the future.

I literally got into skateboarding a week ago and this has blown my mind
trey woods 78 was crazy to even tho he messed up at the end he still deserved like an 85 he was wildin
We just gonna ignore that little bit of salt around 9:50?😂 loved it
Yeah what was that all about
The dude at 54:40 flipping the board with his hands cops it to the chin then looks to see if anyone saw haha
Pedro Barros :)
lmao
hahaha so random
That’s f-in funny!
17:00 "textbook hat fly-off" ✊️😂😂😂👍
10:02 what type of abusive comment is that?
Total narcissistic @hole
Events like these are so timing specific and also who cares about a band tee during xgames finals?
Every X Games video I watch has the Pro commentators complaining about the judging
Slowking moveset?
XD = Output identity, never means: CHRISCH- < Christ is, Xina Ming dynasty.
@Dax Malcolm indeed no one cares X)
540s is really a ”basic” trick these days haha... Professional skateboarding is at a CRAZY level. I always think it cant get bigger but Im always amazed
6:37 that shifty coming back down, incredible
a year later i’m still and about this judging
56:32
I cannot tell you how much I adore this part from the commentator
Also, 1:00:09, smoothest bail I've ever seen
The judging was very random
2Swift4u low scores on sick runs wtf?
Original Bones Brigade here…Love to see these guys whipping out some old originals, Fakey Air's, Frontside boneless and Indy's are ageless.

54:45 homie in the background doing hand flips in the background almost hit himself in the face and looks around 😂
why do they even try to wear hats lol
sponsors pay them good money to rock their gear.....more sponsors logos on TV, bigger paycheck

Hope rockstar and monster paid them good money. Hats can really limit you
I think its because they like being stylish. We ave some that wear hats and one that is shirtless, hahaha.
It's all about the sponsors. They just want to see their logo as much as they can, even if it's only the first 2 tricks of a run.
Well, actually, I wear a hat when I skate. I'm not sponsored. But I don't go near as fast as these guys either.
Their knees take so much impact. Their knees must be really good!
3:17 1st run
Winning run here 27:00
What has Klay Kreiner to do to win a contest? Wow...his tricks in vert, park and big air were insane.
Bring Back Rollerblading! Those guys are killin it these days. Respect
FRUIT BOOTER!!!!
Becomes a moment when you have to learn to do skateboarding
broo the rollers are attached to
Your feet's that's much more easy than keeping the skateboard under your feet's while you're in the air
I do rollers and board and that's my point of view brother
Respect :)
Don't let all the comments about the judging distract you from the very weird "breaking news" "Rod Stewart" discussion.
Right!!!
57:18 That would've been such a sick trick if he landed it!
Put on a shirt and watch your scores go up
They did Heimana Reynolds dirty with those scores
I'm always wishing those red (toyota) squares were the classic És logo
what I learnt: DoN'T wEAr cApS oR hATs
I think it’s required by contract for the energy drink sponsors, hats on during contest runs 💸
Dope to see guys reppin Boise! Come back again
Is that supposed to be English?
Can someone explain to me that discussion at 9:32? Seems like they're pretty pissed off at something but I see nothing about it in the comments.
That's what I've been scrolling through trynna figure out
@@shiozza I can't understand how 4 years ago, I didn't catch that that was a joke hahaha.
42:50
cool park skate board, good champion, I like watch folks , congratulation ,I love skate board
not sure how i ended up here, but it's lit.
Bob > Gary
Heverton Mazzini no
Gary sets the bar pretty low but Bob was good. Except here and there. Calling crooked a nose grind, etc.
Pedro! You'll be back. Most exciting skater there
54:40 left screen don’t hit yer face buddy
Keep on skating everyone!!
1:02:28 beanies are hats
Bob did a great job announcing this.
Dude is good at everything, right?!
29:22 Queen of the X Games pipe??? Pause.
and judges were a bit off
These judges tarded
XD
Osksar Rozenberg's shoes though!!!!!
i think oskie had is hat on the longest
28:19 look @ the girl in the background
58:10 if he would of fell😂😂😂
I love how nobody talks about jagger losing his hat
very good video. Thanks. ❤️
17:55 wtf 82.00?
How sick would it have been if Jagger or Pedro came back around, leaned down, and scooped up their hat that flew off in the middle of the run and kept going?
I am glad they have good announcers. Thank you X Games!
54:45 pedro 😂😂😂
This is not nosegrind it is crooked. 28:06
''I miss Gary's commentating, he is so great''. Said no one ever.
Don't worry Garry still commenting x game street contest
He at least has some kind of personality
No ways, he interrupts the co-commentator constantly, tries to be funny all the time and just comes across arrogant and totally full of himself. I'm glad you enjoy him though, you are one of the few. I prefer Scotty so much more.
I love skating but I have to listen to music rather when he is on, can't handle his biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiig ego.
Gary is overrated.
pedro always killing it ! love it
X games needs new commentators ASAP especially bc of the situation at 10:00 like stfu bro there was no need for all that public slander 🤨
Dude it's just playful fun between 2 colleagues!
DOUBLE LINE I don’t think so chief
gives it extra points if you lose your cap?
Alex gets extra points for not losing his hat lol
i think they should hold the MX until the comp is over
I love all of xgames sports but whether it moto,BMX or skate they should be forced to wear helmets
square
I agree. Safety > looking cool
See I thought about this and pros commit hard enough and over take obstacles to were theres a good chance they will catch themselves so injury is not really a thing unless they don't commit which then they wouldn't be pros

I hate when the judges low ball the first runs on scores. So unfair to the first runners.
Are they considering hat bails in the scoring this year?
Yo this kid jagger practice at my local skate park. .. he asked me why I smoke cigarettes... I couldn't give him a good answer. So he said " well then treat it like your best trick.. you may not land it.. but try. ". So I quit smoking. Thanks kid !!
I strive to be as good as these guys one day
Commentator says Keegan lands "low" ?? So what. Try to do a man's sport in a kids body see how low you land.. the kid rips.
And he called Clay's trick an indy cab?? It's called a todd twist. Invented in 1982ish...
Alex Sorgente has got some Bucky Lasek skill 🔥
whats the song at 15:13
Anyone knows what the song in Pedro Barros Athlete Profile Clip at 15:15 is called??
"50 50, gettin technical" Haha
Is a Santa Cruz Classic Dot a good skateboard for a beginner like me?
what shoes are those 17:23 oskar rozenberg
So far at 42:00 it's looking like money should be on Tristan Rennie. It's obvious after a couple runs these dudes are exhausted.
so cool dude..x games 2018 #fromindonesia 🔥🔥🔥
Trey Woods second run better than Sorgente
i don't know if you guys agree but, VPS >>>>>>>>>>>>>> X Games
i mean, 4 runs, if you fall, it ends your run
the judging is way better
Vans build up a park in your city and after the contest it's there for the locals.
So...lot of people telling the judging was off - how would u judge the runs? Post here! Would be interesting to see.
That You'dliketoknow clay should have gotten at least an 86 on that second run, and Heimana...well his first run, definitely in the 80’s for sure. (He got a 68)
heimana deserves more.
1:16:12 The guy that goes to skate events just to say "darn skate kids!"
He got heated at 10:00 part
Skate is the sport that is most into fashion world.
I think basketball too cuz ballers are dripped in designer
I'm going to invent some cap-glue for these guys
