X Games 2019 kicked off today with men's slopestyle eliminations, which tend to be pretty much the hardest events to make it through on the comp circuit. Despite a smaller field, X is no exception with only 7 athletes joining the 3 pre-qualified medalists from the previous year (Henrik, Oystein...

X Games Real Ski release day is the second Christmas for those who love street skiing. While in other sports you could argue Real Ski doesn't really represent the pinnacle, in skiing it truly does. Phil Casabon's Real Ski part from last year was unquestionably 90 seconds of the best street...

For me at least, X Games Real Ski is the high point of the skiing contest calendar. When drop day rolls around, we get six of the craziest street edits imaginable, all at once. They are often so different that judging them makes comparing the relative merits of slopestyle runs (no easy task)...

X Games Real Ski is back for 2018 and arguably crazier than ever. This year injury took its toll on a couple of competitors but they still put it down as far as their bodies allowed. When you think about it, it's actually insane that in the past two years, everyone has been able to get their...

Seemingly perfect conditions and good course in Aspen for X Games 2018 led to an insane slope final this afternoon. Click the links to watch the top 3 runs. Run 1 Highlights: Only Henrik had a clean run but there were some pretty crazy lines being attempted. - Out of the gates Andri Ragettli...

After a frankly bonkers men's big air last night, today saw the ladies take their turn on the big booter at Aspen. Instead of the primetime slot under the lights, the ladies were sending under sunny skies at lunctime. Unfortunately 4 of the 8 riders were injured or pulled out of big air for...

Having waited around an extra 20 minutes for basketball, the new format Big Air (mandatory left/right spin) kicked off with 3 triples and got crazier from there. With handfuls of never been done tricks all over the place, skiing is in a crazy place right now. Nummedal: Triple 16 double japan...

Check out what went down in the women's pipe finals earlier Today's pipe finals at X Games was intense. It felt like plenty of the guys were testing out some new tricks that they're hoping to take to Pyeongchang in a couple of weeks for the first time in a comp environment. There were some...

Last season, in search of something new, I was scrolling through Newschoolers, a ski website dedicated to fresh new videos from amateurs to pros. My eyes suddenly locked on an abnormal thumbnail of some weirdo in a black Adidas tracksuit doing some obscure press on a rail. Immediately I clicked...

Words & Photos: Jamie Walter "One spot everyday. No more, no less." That was Magnus Granér's golden rule while filming for his XGames Real Ski part last winter. Hunkered down in the Province of Quebec, home to some of the most famous urban locations and skiers, Magnus was on a mission to find...
