It's refreshing to see an event not focused on who can do the biggest, most difficult triple cork. Now I wish they would remove the jumps from the slope style and just make a longer rail section. Guys like mark have 5 tricks on rails, and of course the jumps, and win it. But what about the homies killing the rails but that can't do triple corks on the jumps? They have no chance, which sucks cause the steez of some of rail combos these days...
Well said my friend - Mr Davis’ first switch method in the pipe saved snowboarding & that steez rippled thru time till Marcus, who basically steezed this comp into existence, finally created a legitimate reason for social media to be a thing. Without Danny, this could have been the Wendy’s SnowSki Floor & Beam Routine instead, and the 6 seconds of bliss at 4:06 and 12 seconds o’ buttery-bliss at 4:56 would never have savaged the multiverse & made me wanna ride le Bird & grab some Chips’ to Cab some cats to flat-ya’ heard?
Love this style of competition. Since xgames is losing TV spots it's a great opportunity to add more "best trick" competitions to jumps, knuckles, rails, etc.
I already missed Kleveland badly in Big Air and Slopestyle but this was even worse cause it’s like his event! Damn I can’t wait to see him back on his board and competing at all three events next year. And probably getting medals in all.
A lot of the new events Xgames have come up with over the last few years have been pretty boring, but THIS was fantastic. Leaving it open ended to allow for creativity makes it so fun to watch. Almost reminds me of the beginning years of snowmobile best trick when everything was fresh. I would love to see a ski counterpart to this event, like a Butter/Knuckle Huck or something.
I thought this was going to be X games footage of some big air jump where a snowboarder named Wendy came up short and knuckled a big jump, crashing. I'll excuse myself.
I didn't expect or realize this was a thing so when I read the title I thought someone named Wendy absolutely shredded off the knuckle of the big air contest
First I've heard of an event like this in x games. I love it. There's much more style going on instead of rules and trying to get the perfect score. Which takes snowboarding back to it's roots.
This was so cool! It was a very laid back approach to competition riding. Keeping it fun and light and just all about having a good time 👌🏻 Way to go boys
this is probably the coolest event I've seen at X games. when it's all about looking awesome and having fun in the most extreme way possible that's what it should be about!
what I love about this event is that it reminds me of just cruising the mountain and finding the smallest dumbest thing to just throw an easy 360 off of as smooth and/or easy as possible.
Noob Soup as a snowboarder, I have to say that seems fair. Also, I’m by no means a sjw, but chicks should be allowed to join. Since it’s a jam format it would be cool to see the girls bring it too. I especially think the ski girls could hold their own with the dudes.
Hand drag over the Knuckle is so sick . . . !! I would love to see this become a permanent event with the requirement of "Touching the snow with any body part prior to going over the knuckle."

Best event by far. More creativity = amazing
Now this is a genius and extremely enjoyable contest
Now this is snowboarding

NOW THIS IS POD RACING
10:15 what a goat😂😂
😭😭
judging based solely off of style???? can we bring that back to literally every other event please?
I second this
Amen !!
Danny Davis getting bronze in HP was a good start
Agreed

this is what snowboarding is about!!
@@Erikjoelalexander every form of entertainment is that way but we get to enjoy it
12:46 that spray tho XD
this is so much more enjoyable then an actual comp because their just having fun so there is no stress so their doing way better
personal faves: 18:12 (Mons), 23:56 (Jake), 25:51 (Fridtjof), 26:38 (Sage), 27:24 (Rene).
You forgot 10:11
Fridtjof at 16:00 was my favorite tbh
Drew Spero good
Thanks
Love this style of competition. Since xgames is losing TV spots it's a great opportunity to add more "best trick" competitions to jumps, knuckles, rails, etc.
I like the trick they did when they like would stop mid air and then like teleport to the bottom of the landing
I already missed Kleveland badly in Big Air and Slopestyle but this was even worse cause it’s like his event! Damn I can’t wait to see him back on his board and competing at all three events next year. And probably getting medals in all.
I kinda liked it, it felt like x games made a tribute just for him
Vince M oh I loved the event, but it would have been so much better if Kleveland was there for it. Hopefully next year!

This was a sweet event! Loved it!
15:40 he made it look so easy 🙌🏼
Do it for klevland
Hell yea it's his disciplin sad that he's not competing
He will be back and will win it!!
we all know Marcus is the real gold.
I thought this was going to be X games footage of some big air jump where a snowboarder named Wendy came up short and knuckled a big jump, crashing.
I'll excuse myself.
Synathidy 😀😀😀
Same ngl
No I totally thought the same thing lol
This is the best and most satisfying of all the other events. They go soaring off the knuckle.
New favorite event for sure
I didn't expect or realize this was a thing so when I read the title I thought someone named Wendy absolutely shredded off the knuckle of the big air contest
This is the best snowboarding I’ve seen in X games in probably 15 years. Style is back.

much more enjoyable to watch then the other events!

Most fun event to watch. So much creativity
You know it's a laid back competition when the winner has a backpack on and he's texting at the start of the run
Petition to start a 5 hour JAM session of Knuckle Huck
Slopestyle but none of the jumps have kickers, just knuckles
they should have invited halldor helgason for this
Halldor was invited, but he declined about 10 days before X Games. :(
Markus Kleveland would have dominated if he wasn't injured
raping the landing
This is the coolest event ever
The creativity, this is amazing!!
This is what xgames needs. I’ve always thought this event should exist.
Loved this! I think this is my new favourite event 😁 I like the creativity and style.
8:22 my favourite
This is sick! Real, fun and relatable riding in contest, love it
This is reallly cool stuff & Fridge is cool boarder ! All the other too =)
Super sick fun ,thanks for the video upload
marcus deserves gold silver and bronze in this kind of contest without competing =)
This is great, all for fun laid back event that everyone can enjoy
This is killer! Great event and will just continue to rock as riders feed off creativity of new riders.
what I love about this event is that it reminds me of just cruising the mountain and finding the smallest dumbest thing to just throw an easy 360 off of as smooth and/or easy as possible.
This is what I want from X games
That one dude just casually riding with his backpack on and blasting tom petty. Classic!
This contest has Marcus Kleveland written all over it
nille kk oh yea yeah
Oh yehayehaa
nille kk oh yeah yeah
This rocks big time! So much style and creativity, gotta love it 👌🤘
Thank you Marcus. You spawned this...
4:06 & 4:56 people
The cake reference takes the gold
Sickest event this X games
So surprised someone didn’t have the idea to dive forward hovering above the knuckle and penguin sliding after seeing Judd just do the laid down one
This is way better than big air or even slopestyle. This is what ull see kids doing on the mountain with their friends. True snowboarding.
Lovely talent you have there who doesn't fix the clip and re-upload. Modern professionalism as usual.
Lol the beginning killed me 😂😂😂😂
This event is amazing pure love from all riders
I've always dreamed of jumping over a knuckle 2 inches above it and flipping onto my board... love that it's an event now!
Man! It's day 4 already. I feel like this thing just started. And now it's time to wrap it all up. See you next year X Games Aspen.
Cheers!
Jake Canter was sick. He’s going to win a lot of medals in his career.
Love this sm but it is kinda sad that it keeps glitching, tx x games for this amezing video
Agree with everyone sick comp! They should make it three knuckle hucks back to back to back
the skiers shouldve had this event too, you guys would be amazed to see what you can do with skis on a knuckle
Noob Soup as a snowboarder, I have to say that seems fair. Also, I’m by no means a sjw, but chicks should be allowed to join. Since it’s a jam format it would be cool to see the girls bring it too. I especially think the ski girls could hold their own with the dudes.
check this out to see what i mean:

Noob Soup seen it, it’s awesome
"Just constantly reinventing what you can do with just a little bump of snow."
most creative contest since street rail thing
Best event in the entire X-games
This is better than most events just a steez off!!
Knuckle huck is freestyle stunts
Lil Jake doing it for the ski resort . Lol I dig it !
Impressive stuff there Mr. Fridge.
Hand drag over the Knuckle is so sick . . . !!
I would love to see this become a permanent event with the requirement of "Touching the snow with any body part prior to going over the knuckle."
I love how people think Harley Davidson Hooligan racing is boring but this isn't. 😂
Love this event. I get bored of nothing but spin contests by 5’ tall gymnists. Please bring style back.
Amazing event, keep it up
Athlete Profile music - Freaks Come Out At Night, Whodini 1984. Seems like yesterday this just came out. Still fresh after 35 years!
I remember when Aspen didn’t even allow snowboarding, now they are trying to be in the center of it. LOL
@6:20 LETS GOOOOOOO!!!!
This was sick
Oh my god he on x games mode
Love this and the wendy's
Awesome event love it.
Filming has been pretty bad for all the snowboarding events so far
Yup they should hire Spenny
My favourite event for sure
Finally something I can do...the penguin slide..usually not on purpose.
I'm imagining a peanut butter and jelly in that backpack.
If its anything like the bag we pack snowboarding. Fridge got that GOOD stuff for later ;-)
This event is rad af and makes me realize that Ben Hinkley was 20 years ahead of his time but sadly didn’t get to see his influence.
We need more knuckle hucks.
Wouldn't mind being there!
Love this Event

Best X Games event ever or best X Games event possible?
Both
should do this on ski as well :)
this is 100% halldor helgasons raping the landing idea from 2009
Noice stuff! These people must have practiced hard! :D
My favorite fast food place is sponsoring one of if not my favorite sport /activity
Dream come true
looking forward to an organic valley sponsored buttering event
There’s a glitch in the matrix, Bob.
thanks to chat replay
I'm waiting on an early hop to a super man over the knuckle to a front flip to land
Ok now I gotta go get a couple Son-of-a-baconators thanks
Love this
Homies got some of that Colorado flower in his backpack.
Is it just me or it freezes up heaps
