XGames - 3 new disciplines announced

[TheSmokinL]

- adaptive snow bikecross

- para snow bikecross

- men’s snowboard knuckle huck

So, snowboard knuckle huck?? again skiing gets left out of the mix, this time on something I feel like some skiers would really throw down on. On one note, xgames has added things in the past to stay relevant and catchy; this isn’t uncommon.

However, they can tend to favor snowboarders - and this may be an instance of that. Personally I feel like this mit be difficult to judge, or we could see skewed judging - either way, a knuckle huck as a “trick” for a mainstream comp like this is definitely interesting.

Thoughts?

Marcus Kleveland will huck a triple off the knuckle

The new X games event in skiing is the picnic table tap.

I'm pretty unbothered by this, it'll be in next year if its a hit, and the whole knuckle huck thing will probably be scrapped in 5 years. Meh.

 

[YoungChristmas]

Can't believe this got overlooked

 

[RudyGarmisch]

I want ski blades and modified shovel racing back.

Kinda bummed with this being snowboarding only. Would love to see what kind of madness would come from our guys competing on an X games level when throwing stuff off the knuckle.

If we can't have Henrik hucking off knuckles, maybe we we can get Sammy C invited, considering he's the only skier to be actually invited to Superpark. Also here is Henriks knuckle nosebutter dub 10 from the Sammy c invitational.

Although that's just a jump. He's sending off a lip well before the actual knuckle. Small lip, but still a jump.

I see that now. It popped into my head and I remembered it as henrik sending a nb dub 10 off of part of the knoll separate from the jump in the center that protrudes significantly out of the ground. Guess that makes it a table.
