Competitive snowboarding really needed something like the Knuckle Huck. In slopestyle and in the pipe, every trick has been named and done before by someone in the exact same way. The knuckle huck allows riders to actually be creative and innovative, and that's what freestyle is all about.
If the judges scored for style instead of gymnastics rotations we could have both. This is fully constructed situation we could get out of if the ESPN judges would give style more weight in their score. Sponsors and advertisers like predictability. They like the kid they spent their money on to be on camera, not some rando shredder that kills it with style. It's not hopeless. We need to teach people what makes snowboarding 'good'...the advertisers, sponsors, etc will follow.
i’m new to snowboarding and have never been on a halfpipe or even in the park just trails and am trying to understand what the knuckle is and what is knuckle huck but it’s just not making sense when i look it up can someone explain it for me
@@willbill6449 yes that's also gonna be gone too. The IOC basically eliminates all fun aspects of the event including that stuff. they would say once zeb "fell" he would be done with his run and take Fridge's backpack.
The Knuckle Huck competition reminds me so much of my early years boarding, spending all day messing around with friends, throwing whatever, laughing while ripping down runs. I love the spirit and feel of it, and am so glad it was added.
The knuckle huck is by far my favorite event at the x games, thank you for bringing this to us, if we can only get this event in the Olympics, its mad crazy fun to watch....
X games are awesome! But this summary leaves out the best parts: Fridge's knuckle hit was the most amazing thing i saw for a long time. Markus 720 - 720 from the knuckle huckle was awesome too!

Tyson Seafoot. THAT my friend, is a excellent question. I’m not sure if you’re ready to receive the answer. Follow where I’m going, if you would be so kind. Go to google IMAGES. Type in theses three phrases separately and see what you’re shown. 1. Illuminati One Eye 2. Miley Cyrus eye wink tongue out 3. Obama eye wink tongue out Now Look at Lil Canadying’s profile pic, who I made my comment to. She probably doesn’t have the slightest clue what she’s doing. If you want to know the truth of who’s behind the curtain running the world and influencing what you accept from the mainstream as normal and acceptable, you need to know who these people are behind closed doors. You also need to know what’s written in the Bible. This is small potatos. If you want me to share more, I will.
What I love about snow/skate boarding is there are no rules. That pole jam with 2 riders was SICK and I'm not even a snowboarder I'm a skater. If it was a real pole it wouldnt have been as cool. So rad.
snowboarding changed my life and thank god for it. battled through years of depression and I'm not sure where I would be today if I didnt have that 4 hrs of mental escape
Knuckle Huck... I'm a casual fan and that ish was insane!!!!! I wish I could board but I suck on a skateboard hahaha so I just seem to equivalate it to a snowboard. Gotta try it sometime.
I stopped watching snowboard comps years ago, its all become so repetitive and boring. Good thing for the knuckle huck its the only thing worth tuning in for.
Loved going to watch. Went on the Friday night and got to see mens ski super pipe and then the Rae Sremmurd concert. So stoked im living in Aspen this winter, even when your not riding theres plenty to do.
so this is the best of snowboarding, but ryo’s 19 and fridge’s knuckle hit in slopestyle arent there?? they were easily the most insane moments of the week
I rode the half pipe w/ Todd Richards at Mt Snow before the 1997 US Open at Stratton and I thought I was the coolest person for at least the next 5 years.
Absolutely killed it. Grew up in the same neighborhood as him in Waynesville, and we always said he was gonna make history at the x games. Can't believe that day is here!

Yeah this is so fun to watch !
SVRN W. You said it pal
Yeah plus it’s way more laid back it’s just a nice switch up from 4 story jumps with 6 spins and 2 flips

If Knuckle Huck isn't an olympic sport for 2022 I'ma be so mad
Thank you X Games for that insanely cool discipline
If they added to olympics they break the spirit of it as they usaly do with rules. it should stay as it is fun.
I don't care about the format or so, I wanna see Fridge stamp recklessly down a hill and Zeb Powell fall in control at the Olympics
@@willbill6449 yes that's also gonna be gone too. The IOC basically eliminates all fun aspects of the event including that stuff. they would say once zeb "fell" he would be done with his run and take Fridge's backpack.
@@gaff736 haha as well as no double team pole jams
@@gaff736 yep that would suck..
The Knuckle Huck competition reminds me so much of my early years boarding, spending all day messing around with friends, throwing whatever, laughing while ripping down runs. I love the spirit and feel of it, and am so glad it was added.
That was the aim! Fun, progression and spontaneity plus sick snowboarding!
@@XGames You know the halfpipe can be this too...you just need to instruct the judges to score style over gymnastic rotations.
How is fridge's Knuckle hit not included?
What I love about snowboarding is that people go beyond what you can do in the videogames
*Looks at ssx gameplay*
Yeah about that...
Oh they still go beyond what videogames simulate accurately... For now.
@@emilysmith7518 SSX3 took tricks to a whole another level, that game was my entire childhood right there.
@@emilysmith7518 Yeah moving 120 KM/H. That's a speed of a train!
I have yet to see an Uber trick
knuckle huck was awesome, congrats Zeb
The knuckle huck is by far my favorite event at the x games, thank you for bringing this to us, if we can only get this event in the Olympics, its mad crazy fun to watch....
I love the tricks where it looks like they fall but it's just a lead in to some insane maneuver
"He didn't mean... that was.. hey wait, What ??? "
09:06
he was so impressed he forgot how to speak 😂
knuckle huck is the funnest thing to watch of all the comps. so creative and just exudes the excitement of the sport.
I just love snowboarding
Right
Love the creativity maybe next year a snowboard street design for slopestyle up to would be epic
X games are awesome!
But this summary leaves out the best parts:
Fridge's knuckle hit was the most amazing thing i saw for a long time.
Markus 720 - 720 from the knuckle huckle was awesome too!
10:07. This skill really blew my mind.
everything that happened in the rail jam and knuckle huck was everything that needed to happen with the x games
The knuckle huck is insanely fun. All good vibes and fun!! I fng love it!!
Wait wait wait, where is marcus’ 22:07 run on the knuckle huck video??? That was literally the best one of the night..

lol someone is over-analyzing a collection of children's stories in the yt comments of a snowboarding video.

In the early 90s, simple backflip/front flip got you gold. Now this. Humans are amazing.
snowboarding changed my life and thank god for it. battled through years of depression and I'm not sure where I would be today if I didnt have that 4 hrs of mental escape
these commentators are fantastic 😂 real good vibes from them
Awesomeness 🤟🤙
Who else can watch this stuff all day & night?
Me!
BEST XGAMES YET
The last part of this video just looks like a bunch of dudes having fun snowboarding this is awesome.
How did Anna Gasser not make the highlights?! Had she landed any of her runs in big air she would have made gold.
It deserves recognition still though. No one was pushing snowboarding the entire week like Anna was.
Andrew Hua ryo going back 1980 is definitely pushing the limits
I would love of someone could figure out hot to detach and reattach the board to their boots mid air. Image finger flips in best trick.
Love to see you out there Toby!!
I'm playing Steep right now And the knuckle Huck is what I'm doing from now on.
8:38 most creative snowboard trick ever?
who is that dude whats his name
Freakin awesome so stoked about 2021 xgames bro💯
Them: *saying weird flip names*
Me: *not understanding a word but is fascinated by the talent of the snowboarders*
how did you guys not show Marcus Kleveland's insane 7 to tailpress to backside 360 or wtv in the knuckle huck???
This must mean best of skiing is on its way 👀 great vid Xgames!

Knuckle Huck... I'm a casual fan and that ish was insane!!!!! I wish I could board but I suck on a skateboard hahaha so I just seem to equivalate it to a snowboard. Gotta try it sometime.
HE ON X GAMES MODE

Whats the song name at 4:07?
1:42 You could say they are going full kamikaze
Im liking the knuckle way more the big air
Snowboarding is so cool man ever since I played ssx i always wanted to try n but then I just got into skateboarding cuz it was more attainable
Can someone tell me the names of the songs playing in the background of this video? :)
Looks so fun ⚠️🏂❄️
Knuckle Huck is so so cool
Knuckle Huck is on fire
This is incredible.
I stopped watching snowboard comps years ago, its all become so repetitive and boring. Good thing for the knuckle huck its the only thing worth tuning in for.

Huckle is true snowboard
"Huckle" is a great abbreviated discipline name! Thanks for that!
Last crazy insane
Snowboarding is my life go max bro
I have no idea what is going on but I like it!
Serious question: Who is Stan? 2:41
P R look up last resort with Stan. He had a web series now he is an editor for snowboard mag. Truly an icon
Eminems number one fan
Loved going to watch. Went on the Friday night and got to see mens ski super pipe and then the Rae Sremmurd concert. So stoked im living in Aspen this winter, even when your not riding theres plenty to do.
Thanks for coming!
Marcus kleveland has the best Trick of the whole x games
These guys are extreme af
I really really hope to see Marcus kleveland in next years big air & slopestyle 😩❤️
so this is the best of snowboarding, but ryo’s 19 and fridge’s knuckle hit in slopestyle arent there?? they were easily the most insane moments of the week
Nice camera angles.
Winter is life
Song at 4:06 ??
idk how yuto didnt take gold in superpipe
I rode the half pipe w/ Todd Richards at Mt Snow before the 1997 US Open at Stratton and I thought I was the coolest person for at least the next 5 years.
God bless yall✝️
this is amazing
I feel like the Japanese are 20 years too late with the extreme sport craze, so now they just win everything.
But sick tricks tho
They've been there the whole time, check out the Yasutoko brothers from the 90s/early 00s
My heart
Why diddent you put sebb de bucks wierd fall backflip recovery from slopestyle
DUDE THIS GUY JUST UNLOCK SSX SPECIAL TRICKS REAL LIFE
2:00 i want to see this but from inside the booth
I have lost my mind watching the moves towards the end.

me da envidia estas personas porque si estan disfrutando la vida al practicar este increible deporte
whyTF did that make it in the highlights 5:27 min ???
FunkyDoolittle because mark is king? Lol
Lil Canadying no
Leo Laroche yes lol
Best halfpipe event format, pitty it is no longer in place
At this rate, we'll be pulling off SSX Tricky styles for sport in 5 years or less.
Who had the SSX uber tricks?
Awesome
In Denmark we have trashy xgames commentators but the Real commentators are soooo goooooo
Ohw maw gaw oh ma gaw he on xgames mode

Zeb not competing in Slopestyle is a sin. Congrats Zeb!

Absolutely killed it. Grew up in the same neighborhood as him in Waynesville, and we always said he was gonna make history at the x games. Can't believe that day is here!
SUPER SAAA
