X-Games Slope Discussion

Predictions for finals?

With such a rail heavy course with so many options for transfers my picks are:

1-Evan. His dub 12 double grab is scoring super well, he's super consistent on rails and is arguably the most technical. Plus he has dub misty 14's, and triples both ways in his bag of tricks.

2-Jossi. You know he's going to find some creative line through those rails, plus his style scores so well with the judges. Now that he's in the twilight years of his competition career I think he won't feel the pressure and throw down.

3-Woodsy. He can whip around spins on and off those rails like nobody's business, he's got that sw dub 10 octo on lock that's scoring super well, plus his dub tail to truck that no one else can do and a triple if that's the way the judges push things.

I'd say so - those guys are a fucking dream team. Tom seems born for this shit too.

hes surprisingly charismatic, however if anyone was born for commentating its dominator jacques

what did you think of the judging bishop? I feel bad for them, the balance between weighing jumps and rails and not just making it a triple huck fest is a such a complicated matter- if it starts going towards style it becomes purely subjective- idk what the correct judging might even look like
 
Man they really don't want people watching this. The espn app is fucked, the xgames site is fucked, and my appletv is fucked. Do you want people to view your content or no?

Or we don't need 3 fucking runs. 2 is enough to get your shit together.

Three runs are so much more exciting. Think about the 2013 contest or really anyone before that.

Anyone watching Snowboarding? Everyone is falling and the bubble score is like 44 and its almost over haha.

Everyone killed it in the morning but jump 2 was taking people out in qualifiers.

Are you talking about the girl who did a cab dub 10 in big air? because that shit was so fucking sick

Yeah man the girls brought it hard. Was so fucking sick to watch. Dont know how anyone could hate on that. They did much betterbin practice but a lot of sick shit went down.

Very cool for womens boarding.
 
Parrot just went and almost landed Quad underflip. Assuming he does a rebate I wouldn't be surprised to see him get it, marking the first quad in Xgames

Try youtube.

To thread. Really dug the length of the features on the monster plaza. Too many years where they had 20 foot down rails and people would 270 and slide 6 inches of the thing. Glad to see some long rails at x. Even with disastering the dfd its not that short. Rail is around 40 easy.

just saw on the televisions that the jumps are 60, 65 and 70 feet. I have no idea how west actually pulled off a 67 foot jump... thats fucking massive.
