Stevie Wonder freeride snowboarding is harder. that’s why on the FWT the snowboarders all ride easier lines at slower speeds and with smaller tricks. Travis owned this one for sure.
Karl's run was sweet but he took an easier line into the second hit on the lower side of the mountain so that he could gain control and control his speed after the initial 5. The 2nd hit Trav took is up higher and a lot more difficult to even attempt a trick due to much higher speed after the initial 5 off the top. He was basically riding tight loose the whole way down but has the strength to not eat shit somehow. He did a full wheelie on the 2nd hit but I can guarantee you that if Karl took that same line, he would have ate shit just like everyone else who tried that line because of the speed and huge impact from the landing up top. Trav also added a butter in between the 2nd and 3rd hit. Karl's looked cleaner because he took an easier line. The athletes made the right choice because they know which line was more difficult.
Can’t judge skiing vs snowboarding. The landings will always be cleaner on skis in choppy or less than ideal snow. Skis just handle the terrain better. That said; you could argue that his margin of victory was even greater for accomplishing it on a snowboard. Other than the wash out on the initial drop, Rice had more hits and killed the last one with style.
So many salty skiers commenting...theres a reason non of the skiers dare try this on a mono board: one edge on each side. That alone is why Travis' run was better plus his tricks and line were better. Imo freeride/ style skiing just looks messier, planks and poles at all angles, flying through the air...just looks way more graceful does snowboarding.
Land this first jump on a snowboard seems much harder, second travis's jump was just insane, and approaching the nearest kicker after dropping in - insane as well, plus he did 4 jumps, plus the last trick was just outstanding comparing to both skiers. Check mate)
It takes much more skill to hit that first jump just because it is so hard to decelerate. Check Blaines run, he flies right past the thing. I'm not sure Karl could've gotten it either. Travis' run was insane
You say all over the place I say stomped in control and he threw an extra 3 in there before the last hit which was a sick 7 and probably the best trick of the whole thing.
Watched it three times, clearly Karl had more control, made his run appear smoother and consistent. But, TR is older, so factoring in age, TR still stomped it. Tough decision. Owell. At least no injuries, and all had fun, especially the spectators!
@Kevin H look if youve ever been in a park you would probably know that there probably are multiple features in a set, you can't go thru all of them in a run
@Kevin H ok dude chill, I liked that second guy, going in switch, a flip, then a cork is variety to me. I'm just saying, not trying to argue, you can believe in whatever.
Obviously a snowboarder won. When it comes to tricks and turning heads a snow boarder will always win. When you are retired or learning how to slide down a mountain on the bunny slope then skiing is appropriate.
Miles McGeoy you take the padding out of the helmet and replace it with a beanie. warmer, more comfortable, can wear goggle under helmet, mostly to look cooler tho
He dropped in switch and managed to keep it under control enough to hit the high jump, which is way harder. Also he had more hits, better hits and more speed. I loved watching that styled out 720 at the end, but overall I think I like watching all the skiers get triggered
I don't like memes Maybe, but with skiing u have to land and keep them together, along with holding poles, in snowboarding all you have to do is land sideways
@Kevin H whatever karls airs were bigger and harder tricks and was alot cleaner/in control. Its splitting hairs really but the high majority agrees Karl should have placed 1st.
4 jumps comparing to 3, last trick from travis was much better, harder and more spectacular, second jump out of nearest kicker on a high speed was just insane. Objectively Travis was much better, actually Karl haven't got even close to him on that run.
Travis rice still riding hard as ever, love it!
I think it's hard to judge snowboarding against skiing
Stevie Wonder I think there should be 2 different classes
2 tricks 3 tricks 4 tricks. Seems simple to me.
@@roxykupetz8594 consider its travis rice

Thank you for muting the sound when you did the slo-mo. Seriously!

High on the list wanting to muster the courage to drop into corbet’s.
Trice is still my hero after all these years. Just a raging bat out of hell. Full shred.
He needs another bar mitzvah.
So sick. Rice is a total snow demon!
These guys are an inspiration make it look so easy
Does Trice ever fall? Makes it look way too easy.
Karl smarl...Travis went way bigger on the second hit...went inverted on his 7 at the end... case closed
Tim Pike don’t forget that sneaky little backside 3 either. Clear winner in my book. He simply had more hits.
friggin two plankers
Travis you stomp monster.

It wasn't a wash out it was getting that first kicker. Dude nailed it.
He knew exactly where he was going.
roxy kupetz agree, meant the first kicker.
@@roxykupetz8594 what is meaning of wash out?
wat a legend travis pullin up with the 5 then 3 then cork sev
1:17 "Oh what!"
Travis's 3 was nuts
IM SOOOOOOOO STOKED THIS IS ON RIGHT NOW
Travis defines gravity! Monstrous run!
Does Karl mount his binding in the middle to take off and land switch?
anyone knows what is the board Travis riding? Surprised it is not Orca
the Climax
2020 Goldmember
So rad !!!
Travis was all over the place, Karl should have won, he looked in control and like it was a walk in the park for him.
??? He chose the hardest line and pulled off more hits than either of the skiers. If karl took that top jump like travis he would have exploded.
These folks on another level.
Those guys are fully shrooming man, YEW!
The definition of 'SEND'.
CrestonGoPro I was thinking the same thing.
awesome video
Ok... now let's see someone take this on a cafeteria tray lifted from the base lodge...😎
Interesting to see how burning skiers doubting Travis win with a zero arguments apart from "cleaner run". Yeah, it's cleaner because it's much easier!
Send itttt wish I could be there
BIG Fun at Corbett's ...oh hell yeah !!!
Light conditions looked flat for #3 he ran into some surprise bumps
Exactly, why the boarder?
Cuz boarding is harder!
The 8 dislikes are people who don't know how to ski or snowboard
This just shows how insane Corbet's is.
More sending then Amazon up in this ma gnomesayin

So the 3rd place skier does an opening 540 and the 1st place boarder does the same and wins the competition? Either way, all great fun competition.

i was there last year wish i could be there.
Karl should've won :/
100% travis still hucked meat tho
Why? They both had very similar runs with a switch 5 and a 7. But Trav did an extra hit and was steezier on the 7
this, felt like travis won because of his name
It takes much more skill to hit that first jump just because it is so hard to decelerate. Check Blaines run, he flies right past the thing. I'm not sure Karl could've gotten it either. Travis' run was insane

Travis won that easily. And he was on a snowboard - making it automatically more difficult.
2020 killed it.
So sick
Karl should have won
Why are they mixing snowboarders and skiers together
In an event like this, whats the use splitting em up? All about who goes the gnarliest. Snow, ski, all there to have a good time!
Racist
so sick!!!
1:18 what
Wow very hard 😍👍
TOO fuckin SICK!!! Hell YEAH ladies n gents!!! Yeew!!! 🍻
Blaine was channeling his inner Hot Dogger!
My vote would be the skiers since the lighting and snow conditions were much worse for them.
Heck Ya!!!
Weird that Travis Rice won. So weird😉🤣
Karl had cleaner landings. but T Rice had one more hit... Still think Karl is the King
Now this year we see triple backflips 😂
I don't get why they have to put everything into slow motion. Ruins so much of watching the runs.
Boff that pepperbox. Send it.
epic
wow
Watched it three times, clearly Karl had more control, made his run appear smoother and consistent. But, TR is older, so factoring in age, TR still stomped it. Tough decision. Owell. At least no injuries, and all had fun, especially the spectators!
Travis had more hits, better trick at the end, chosen the hardest line, and the second jump was insane, nobody could land that beside Travis
💟
The 2nd place run was better.
Two different types…
It was all KARL
The second place winner should have been a first place winner n my book
Please don't ruin Kings and Queens this year with stupid park features. Year 1 was perfect.
Damn
I don't see how is Travis first place
@Kevin H I watched the whole video, just nah the skiers had more variety
@Kevin H there were 2sets of jumps on the lower section, the skiers took the lower jump for the first set while Travis took the higher one
@Kevin H look if youve ever been in a park you would probably know that there probably are multiple features in a set, you can't go thru all of them in a run
@Kevin H ok dude chill, I liked that second guy, going in switch, a flip, then a cork is variety to me. I'm just saying, not trying to argue, you can believe in whatever.
Na, he was down on this body in the second landing. Severe point reduction.
I love travis but his run wasnt the Best of the three
Lol@ the triggered skiers
Squaw locals would've been thrown backies into it.
Obviously a snowboarder won. When it comes to tricks and turning heads a snow boarder will always win.
When you are retired or learning how to slide down a mountain on the bunny slope then skiing is appropriate.
Топ 1 это второй!
Ты лыжник?
@@mrmoorash саночник
why do pro skiers still wear bike helmets with beanies rather than a ski helmet? they can clearly afford one or pull a sponsorship
those are still ski helmets, thats just the style of ski helmets thats popular in the freestyle community
Miles McGeoy you take the padding out of the helmet and replace it with a beanie. warmer, more comfortable, can wear goggle under helmet, mostly to look cooler tho
FUUUUUUUCK!!!!!!
First place is bullshit. No way. Just cause he’s the MJ of snow. Doesn’t deserve first place there.
Travis is the man. But there zero chance that’s a first.
And pepper
You must be a Mormon.
He dropped in switch and managed to keep it under control enough to hit the high jump, which is way harder. Also he had more hits, better hits and more speed. I loved watching that styled out 720 at the end, but overall I think I like watching all the skiers get triggered
james rust he was incredible but those skiers....
Hell we did this when we was 10....this ain't wild...its homogenized milk for egomaniacs who get off on being filmed and cheered...
Lmao Travis is on a snowboard, it’s way easier to just spin on that, should’ve gone to Karl for sure
I would in no way put doing a backflip on skis harder than spinning on a snowboard
I don't like memes Maybe, but with skiing u have to land and keep them together, along with holding poles, in snowboarding all you have to do is land sideways
Kevin H That's not a compelling argument my man, give your reasons why u disagree, because I can't see how that snowboard run was better
Kevin H disagree, better spins and grabs on Karl's run, plus a backflip
Kevin H the rest of the comment section would also agree with me, but your opinin is yours
2nd place guy got robbed!
karl got ripped off... rice is a phenomenal boarder but Karl's run was easily better
@Kevin H whatever karls airs were bigger and harder tricks and was alot cleaner/in control. Its splitting hairs really but the high majority agrees Karl should have placed 1st.
skiing’s easier and trice had an extra air.
4 jumps comparing to 3, last trick from travis was much better, harder and more spectacular, second jump out of nearest kicker on a high speed was just insane. Objectively Travis was much better, actually Karl haven't got even close to him on that run.
2nd & 3rd place got robbed 😮
ehhh he just got lucky.....
