What is everyones favorite XGames moment? As in like best run of trick or whatever? For me it's still Simon Dumont's double front to win big air a few years ago. Whats yours?
 
Personally its the photog who walked onto the run in for big air last year and pat his shants as he almost got body checked by a skier dropping in.
 
I really think it could be sean whites perfect 100, considering that no one has done that before. Even though he put a hand down its still amazing to do.
 
Dumont's dub front gold was your favorite X-Games moment?? Seems like that was one of the more embarrassing low points in competition skiing in the last few years.
 
.

I've been watching X Games for way too long now, but Henrik's triple this year had me down on my knees yelling and beating my chest.

Tony's 900, Pastrana's double for summer
 
Top Ten

1. Harlaut butter triple (the whole 2013 ski big air comp actually)

2. Pastrana double

3. Dumont / Hall rivalry4. Levi Lavallee double attempt

5. Jake Brown fall to flat

6. Skate Big Air- Bob Burnquist, Jake Brown, Danny Way 2008 I think. I wish skiing could have a gold medal run with a switch no grab 180 and a huge 360! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PEChpBqjeGA

newer x-games competitors should watch and take note of this video^. Getting kindof tired of hearing athletes that are just happy to be there. I don't want to watch a bunch of kids shreding with their buddies. I want to see competitors showing up almost exclusively to win gold. (I realize it is hard to apply this to all sports & events in x-games)

7. Tony Hawk 900

8. Early 2000's skate vert and vert doubles in general

9. I guess Shaun White's dominance

10. Ryan Sheckler gold medal at 13 years old

Probably missed a few obvious ones...
 
Henriks nose butter trip. I was just as excited as anyone could have been after that went down.

My was Candide boosting that pipe.
 
Everyone keeps saying Henrick this year, i don't think it was as impressive as Dumont's double which was a real game changer.
 
Dumonts dub front a real game changer?? Is my meter broken? A trick that he could do for like 2 years before he threw it at big air.

You wanna talk about game changing? Pastrana, Tony Hawk, Harlaut, Candide, Levi Lavallee

 
Dude Dumonts double front was what brought about the age of Doubles in the Xgames, it was pretty much what "opened the door' so to speak
 
Biggest fix ever. PK did that best dub 10/12 ever to that point and he got completely jobbed by a text in popularity contest voting dumont because the voting public had heard of PK and Simon was American.
 
Watch girls skiing then, but nothing will be huge. Fucking X Games letting in all the shitty girls when there's Darla and Lisa.
 
haha dumont winning big air? isn't this like the biggest fail in xgames history? text message judging.
 
I feel like text judging is the fairest way, especially for big air, it prevents the judges from making calls about silly little details like grabs and that skid henrik did before his jump. i thought it made his jump ugly
 
You realize that most of the xgames audience is completely uninformed and has no idea what to look for. If there was ever a ladies big air in x games, people would probably just try to vote for Lindsay vonn.
 
Yea noone did doubles in big air before that dub front.Not even Jon, who threw a kang just before Simon's dub front.

I can't believe Jon didn't take his kang to a double.what a pussy. If The Dumont didn't throw that trick, noone would throw dubs in the X-Games
 
Despite the fact that this thread is trolling hard re: Simon Dumont, I will nevertheless respond. Here are my favorites:

Peter Olenick clearing out his nostrils

Tanner dropping the F bomb

That Colby West slopestyle crash from a few years ago

Candide and C.R. in pipe

Pep and Andy skiing slopestyle on Hellbents

Henrik's butter triple

Henrik's bio 14 blunt

Bobby B's victory lap backflip when he won big air

 
Agreed, there was one big air in there that was just straight rowdy. Was that when Schlopy won? or when BBrown won?
 
Thank you Holte! Couldn't agree more. PK got hosed.

Not in any particular order...but I am just going to stick to skiing.

*JF's sw. right 7 (made me want to hit jumps)

*CR and Candide battling in 2003

*Candide X-Games 2007 slope Gold

*X-Games Big Air 2010 (absolutely insane progression)

*Tanner winning a lot of golds back to back

*Henrik's triple

I'm sure there's more that I can't think of but maybe I'll chime in later if I think of some.
