THIS IS IT | Swatch Nines 2024 The Perfect Hip

THIS IS IT! A 27-minute documentary offering an immersive experience of the Perfect Hip.
The records have been smashed and tricks have been stomped. Now it’s time to sit back and enjoy a deep dive into the world of this year’s Swatch Nines at Schilthorn, Switzerland!
This year’s highlight edit takes a different approach to encapsulating the Swatch Nines experience. Instead of a few minutes packed with action, the 2024 recap takes a more documentary approach to show the event from several angles, from entertaining and insightful behind-the-scenes moments to the utmost peak of the action. You asked for more, so THIS IS IT!
Featuring riders: Sarah Hoefflin, Megan Oldham, Anastasia Tatalina, Queralt Castellet, Brooke D’Hondt, Mia Brookes Leilani Ettel, Nico Vuignier, Max Moffat, Alex Hackel, Jesper Tjäder, Nico Porteous, Matej Svancer, Hunter Hess, Alex Hall, Kim Gubser, Jay Rawe, Thierry Wili, Lukas Müllauer, Finley Melville Ives, Vincent Veile, Fabian Bösch, Joel Liimatainen, Juho Saastamoinen, Fridtjof Tischendorf, Valentino Guseli, Chaeun Lee, Kaishu Hirano, Max Buri, Patrick Hofmann, Juho Laine, Marcus Kleveland, Oyvind Kirkhus, Simon Gschaider, Nicolas Huber & Vlad Khadrin.

shout out to Lukas Braune, Lukas König, & Lukas Hauser. crazy that you all have the same name lol

[@FlippedSociety]

This is the biggest but also safest built set-up. Super props to the design team. Massive air potential with equally massive transitions and landing zones.

[@SwatchNines]

Thanks for the nice words!!

[@tyent743]

So glad I know about this event

[@danielnhk5]

incredible video!

[@fitchkhl7497]

Great work as usual, but perhaps one criticism: too many looping drone shots for my taste. The drone follow shots that end up looping make you lose all sense of size and distance from the jump, and I find they really spoil some shots. From my point of view, it makes for nice transition shots, but completely detracts from the beauty of certain tricks. We remain human, and it is difficult to project oneself when the point of view is not at least somewhat stable and roughly at the same height as the rider. Hence the success of stabilizers at one time

[@lukejuras8024]

7:46 best trick! Tweaking from indy to tucknee in the middle of a double wildcat has my mind blown!

[@freddemetal]

Nice edit, what a master piece! Always love to see the after movies of the Nines!

[@user-fb6hx5pm6c]

You are all sick🤘🤘🤘

[@sl8309]

would be interesting to know if you meassure the height from the takeoff or landing.. since the landing is a bit higher where they land than where they take off..

[@SwatchNines]

From the take off it’s measured how high they go. The landing is a little higher for safety reasons, but most riders land way deeper. :)

[@jamesplaum1927]

@@SwatchNines so theoreticly you could shape a 40m high landing and if they take of at 10m and kind of ride it as „step up“ (kind of like the side jump to hip landing this year) it would still count as a 30m air if they land all the way on top of the landing? i know the numbers are unrealistic but just in a smaller scale..

[@SwatchNines]

@@jamesplaum1927 please read our answer again, check the video and you might understand. The landing is only a little bit higher to prevent people from decking heavily after hitting the take off in a slightly wrong way. If they jump straight like the hip jumps are intended to be hit they would land lower than the take off. How you're describing it, it for sure doesn't count but just check out the video and the record parts again and maybe it makes sense!

[@getsendy]

@@jamesplaum1927bro come on… use your brain 😂

[@jamesplaum1927]

@@SwatchNines i‘m not saying that this 3 records which were set are not valid. also i think this i a legit setup, even tho the landing in slightly higher. but i‘m just questioning the „rules“ of a world record jump in general. since it‘s more safe to jump up (stepup) then jump down (stepdown).

[@gariklaw]

Great cut!

[@shredd1190]

[@McSchwabl]

So cool. But what I don’t get is that some freestylers still don’t wear a helmet. There is the same event for Mountainbike and no one would even consider not to wear a helmet

[@SwatchNines]

Most wear a helmet especially when hitting the big hip, but it’s still a free choice to wear one or not.
