I think it should be the reverse. Give them one shot to do a dumb future spin worth 10 points and make the other rounds the ‘style’ round. I’d much rather watch that than this helicopter aerials bs.
Alex did a perfect Zero spin, a sw 1260 pretzel (!!) 180 and a sw tailbutter 1800. Thats two never been done tricks, both quite different from what everyone else is doing... Also the execution was flawless. I think that should have at least slightly won over two insane, but less creative big spins.
@@coolbreeze976 People like Alex are why I watch X games. I want to see unique and stylish runs, not everyone either landing or crashing on basically the same trick...
Its the danger of the big spins, Pod had a ton of style with those spins, they were super fast, and still held the grab. A hall should have matched his big spin trick after he already landed the Tail but 18 twice.
Yeah, this year was a little more noticeable than usual. Sometimes I have a feeling they keep bumping scores just to shake up the leaderboard... But I doubt that's the case.
So refreshing to hear someone say that they just wanted to win! I’m all for chillin with da dudes, but to do that no need to huck yourself 50 meters spinning 5 times risking serious injury.
Sick concept but at some point they need to stop changing the format every year. 33 for Birk was tough to see even if the grab on it wasn't perfect. Missed Edjoy, Matej, and of course Henrik in the big air not the same wo him bringing out some ungodly axis
Troy run 5 was fabulous, alex hall scintillating as always, all of these are awesome beyond belief. The flying skiiers. I miss ragetli in this. They cd show a chart of all the runs scores and cumulative and at the end
2160’s are wack. Next time give them more runs in the style category and make it worth more. We need more emphasis on style and less on ugly future spins or you may as well rename the event ‘Aerials 2.0’.
honestly knowing what Pod did in the last run, to show his diversity and technicality, A hall should have thrown his most monsterous spin trick just to prove, hey I got all the style in the world, and I can still spin to win. would have won him the gold. and I am pretty sure he knew he messed up going for that same trick 3 times in a row. knowing he wouldnt improve it without the speed.
Alex didn't go for the same trick 3 times. The first one of what you mean was a sw tb 14, not an 18. He stepped it up to an 18 and then wanted to just clean it up in the last round to get the 1 point more needed to win. Also at that level it would be quite unwise to just spin away without preparation....
Cool comp idea but I think I’m good with never seeing it again. 2022 and 2023 were amazing with 6 runs each and the quick action Really elevated the energy and gave us more tricks. I appreciate the attempt to give creativity more power but this is just not the way
It is not italian army supporting tabanelli, but italian ski federation (fisi). I don't like this official and formal support in a freeski competition, but i think federation pay for his journey to aspen or something similar...
‘Man, disagree with some of the judging here. 2160’s though, 25 years ago I could never imagine. I definitely can see one more rotation happening in the future though.
7 pionts for dub 10 blunt in style category is crazy to me when you have so many harder grabs and creativity opportunities. 5 is max i would give to him. The style category is cool idea but throwing 10s and dubs and not even hold the grab all the way... Freesking is becomnig aerials 👎
Can someone tell me who the head judge Jason harens is?? What make his creditals worthy of head judge. U can't even find him in Google. Lol. Someone help me out here ha.
So me and a friend are having a bet to see who’s going to get into x games for skiing. Be for we’re 17 who do you think gonna win? Can u give me some tricks I should learn to help
I want to know if you can understand - that is, at least correctly name - the tricks he did. Both of his big tricks have never been done, and there is little doubt very few people could also do them, nevermind consistently.
Style should be the only round they do. The other two were almost pointless with the excessive spins, almost all style is lost as it becomes a contest on who can spin the most. Really lame.
Airwolf theme song running in my head ^^ PS: why is the host calling switch instead of fakie ? Switch is supposed to be the unnatural footedness and fakie means going backward...
@@fartswag000 thx for the answer :) what happened for skiers to mess up the nomenclature used in ALL the other X sports ? "I know its called an apple, but when you're in an helicopter, its a banana"
Poor filming, poor format, poor judging, poor grabs and style, so many missed grabs, the style tricks being mostly weak and the rest just aerials with tap-grabs. Xgames, I'm out. Last year

I got it spoiled for me it was a sad thing

Thanks
Max moffat just looks like such a chill guy to be friends with
can confirm, nicest guy ever, amazing on a skateboard also.
Same thoughts. Seems like a fun personality.
The style round is genius. Would’ve loved to see 2 rounds of it to see variation, but sick nonetheless
agreed

Spoiler in the thumbnail is crazy
Matej would have gotten an 11 in the style round
What about Henrik?
What happen to matej ?
@@b7n___115 they said he was sick
So sad to not see him there…

Alex is just on another level. So creative and unique. He should have won the gold.

Problem is, like wallisch pointed out he just wasn't quite getting the speed to go deep on the landing. I agree though super stylish.
The scoring is all subjective. It’s very frustrating.

i Miss my lovely matej 😢
a 33 for a 2160 is rough
Agreed but he missed the first grab so fair and square
Completly crazy juges this year
Should have been zero, what an ugly trick.
Great commentating by Tom Wallisch, as always!
As crazy as the 2160s are the stylish tricks A Hall was hitting are so much steezier, i think he should have gotten gold honestly
With those grabs? To do japantails like that is a criminal offense and should be an instant 8th place
amplitude was missing tho
thank you for putting this up, but who decided to put the camera right in line with the lights?
Yeah every time Birk jumped you couldn't see anything. It was very annoying (he's my fav skier)
Scoring seems so random sometimes....
Yeah, this year was a little more noticeable than usual.

But I doubt that's the case.
@@johannestafelmaier616 judges have always been paid off to match who xgames cronies want to succeed. $$$$
Troy won fair and square, landed on the last blue line for his 3 scores. That 2160 was a closer for sure!
Absolutely stomped that 2160. Deserved that w
2160 is kinda cringe
nah a-hall style> future spins
@@stephenclark3625I totally agree but it’s always sweet to see such a clean spin
@@finnskowlund910yeah but if spins will continue to win the competition I think people will loose interest quickly
7:07 Jossiwells style❤
So refreshing to hear someone say that they just wanted to win! I’m all for chillin with da dudes, but to do that no need to huck yourself 50 meters spinning 5 times risking serious injury.
Wish matej was there 😢
If Mac landed that last trick he was in 1st hands down!
Yeah agreed
I speak for Miro, the Italian guy.
He has a military sponsor because in Italy will no survive with other sponsors. Dont pay enough 😢.
So sad !
@sickos at 1:48 gramps getting the camera time lol
Suggestion: X Games should include freestyle skiing moguls
that actually sounds kinda sick
46:14 Troy looksmaxxing 😭😭😭
That spotlight going right into the camera mid-jump is so annoying 😢
Love when some goes from the bottom to the top

Who is filming from the side of the kicker … missing half trick
2160 = 43
2160 SWITCH (perfect takeoff and landing) = 33…
🤔
he missed his original grab, thats what docked him the points
2160’s are wack. Next time give them more runs in the style category and make it worth more. We need more emphasis on style and less on ugly future spins or you may as well rename the event ‘Aerials 2.0’.
those volkl Revolt Scorpion skis are ❤🔥
JEFF was HERE hoorayyy 🎉🎉😊
yooo that was sick

Weird scoring
the sponsorship placements are getting out of hand
14:44 Love the way the spin starts with skis together and then he opens up. Super smooth.
nice to see the xgames judges are still paid off. Hall getting 85 points for small air.. thought this was a BIG AIR competition. ??
19:26 is that zeb powell in the crowd?
need a better camera work... or turn of some lams 8:09, hard to see whats happening..
How is this possible🤯
Matej ist missing
Cool comp idea but I think I’m good with never seeing it again. 2022 and 2023 were amazing with 6 runs each and the quick action Really elevated the energy and gave us more tricks. I appreciate the attempt to give creativity more power but this is just not the way
In my opinion, they could keep the style element but add 5 more usual runs in stead of 4 and not have a countdown just set 5 runs
Its crazy the lady at the beginning the announcer straight up called the win by pod
It is not italian army supporting tabanelli, but italian ski federation (fisi). I don't like this official and formal support in a freeski competition, but i think federation pay for his journey to aspen or something similar...
Instead of the graf they should have the music from the skiier playing 💸
SHOULDA HAD THE BLONDE PUT THE MEDAL ON THE CHAMP AND LET WOODSY INTERVIEW HIM
JUS SAYIN
7 months later and still laughing about Danny B going through the fence
matej would have devoured this
‘Man, disagree with some of the judging here.
2160’s though, 25 years ago I could never imagine.
I definitely can see one more rotation happening in the future though.
I think we need some new camera angles this is a little rough to watch at times.
Great snow , 2023
Perfect🤗 🤩

glad to be first
Yooooo its child labor from Oslo!
He ain’t on snowboard 🤷🏿♂️
Jump not that g anyways
scoring made no sense. differences in scores were insane
So me and a friend are having a bet to see who’s going to get into x games for skiing. Be for we’re 17 who do you think gonna win?
Can u give me some tricks I should learn to help
Sweet
Lock up the judges
Define aura
Format is terrible
These judges are terrible.
Judges glazing Alex
Only one attempt for the style..? Makes no sense
The judging was really bad this year. I like AHall, but the judges love him too much and over score every single one of his runs
I want to know if you can understand - that is, at least correctly name - the tricks he did.
Both of his big tricks have never been done, and there is little doubt very few people could also do them, nevermind consistently.
😂bro he should've won gold hes a better spinner than all of these new ones regardless
RUUD😢
w crowd
bro it sucks jesper tjader isnt here is he the dude they said is sick?
Im a little dissapointed of the field
Where jesper thader?
In slopestyle
Style should be the only round they do. The other two were almost pointless with the excessive spins, almost all style is lost as it becomes a contest on who can spin the most. Really lame.
tf was this judging? i get how and why they scored the way they did but it just seemed at TAD aggressive

style run is stupid

Birk got robbed on that 2160
Ngl, a zero spin does not deserve a 9 for style
Now i know you know nothing about freestyle skiing
That was almost the perfect choice for a style trick in my eyes. Very different, very stylish.
