Got goosebumps watching Halldor compete in this. Absolute legend. So cool. This is the best event snowboarding has hands down. (With respect to the halfpipe)

[@kingleebz1188]

His monster part when he first came onto the scene when I was in high-school was like "yup, him and his brother are my favorite"

[@dr.jr.2343]

Slope style 👀

[@wolferine6466]

Natural Selection Tour is the best event snowboarding has right now.

[@VanaheimrUllr]

Yes! Brought a smile on my face too. Legend(s)!

[@helloitsme543]

Natural selection…

[@infernoflo]

Hands down best event, the vibes, the heavy hitters in the entire line up, the creativity.

[@NotKragel]

The fact that anyone can agree with this after watching the slopestyle final is absurd

[@Codie_]

Facts thought it was boring

[@crispyfishstick]

It's still got the OG xgames vibes. Snowboarding got really boring when they seemed to have adopted olympic freestyle skiing conformities. It's about being GNAR not being perfect...

[@NotKragel]

@@crispyfishstick genuinely couldn’t disagree more with you

[@LM-pe3kc]

2y ago better tricks

[@jimmieleepatterson]

I'm a 52 year old mediocre snowboarder. This sh¡t right here is so dope!! This might have to be my favorite winter sport to watch

[@macrayurish3552]

Personally liked Dusty the most. The style was there 👌 first run was massive.

[@DoobieFerguson]

I think the straight air was the only thing holding him back tbh

[@givemeajackson]

@@DoobieFerguson nah man that was the sickest looking thing of the day. just massive!

[@gonepteryxrhamni2648]

could have killed his partner in the last trick though. i dont know why x games tolerates that kind of tricks

[@facebookreal]

Marcus Kleveland is so incredibly consistent. IMO he wasn't the most creative but everyone else always had dodgy landings which hurt them a lot especially since it's overall impression

[@Red1676]

Halldor had the better lands than Marcus. Marcus looks so robotic and all his tricks look the same now with extra rotations. Halldor almost landed to flat and still had a cleaner landing. This event was made to showcase creativity to get away from spin to win.

[@markbans]

@@Red1676 his the reason they made this competition. :D

[@Exata1337]

@@Red1676 while it is an event dedicated to being creative, marcus has a tendency to mix it up with butters and everything in between. half of the time i feel people are complaining about his "spin to win" even when hes literally doing the longest and sickest butters before the spin even starts, simply because hes the only one able to pull it off. Halldor was overall less consistent and had tricks that have been done plenty times before, so lets not take away from marcus by yet again thinking that a double frontflip is somehow "far more creative" than a double cork for some reason.

[@makoko6812]

@@Exata1337 i fully agree and i also think marcus' approach is creative. He had the toeedge take off which nobody else did and ofc his crazy butters. I see this as creative features.

[@furstyduck]

@@Red1676 I'd change the word robotic to 'automatic'. He's just that dialled in he can make the most difficult tricks look easy. It's ridiculous

[@brandonhuling2742]

Stoney being in the audience cracked me up 😂 these guys killed it though

[@alaskasnowboarder]

This is so awesome! Just started snowboarding 7 days ago myself and built a little jump in the front yard. Retired from the Army in Alaska and taking a college course for adaptive alpine skiing and snowboarding, now I'm addicted 😆 🤣 😂.

[@glorious6321]

There are college courses for that? That’s sick!

My favorite out of the contest.

[@nickardecky7404]

Most stoked to have Selema Masekela back in action! We all have missed his voice and personality spreading stoke and appreciation.👌

[@MrEDMeaner]

Came to the comments to say the exact same thing. Dude is a legend!

[@aidanwatson7855]

Sal being back made the commentary so much better! Keep him

[@jaymason2493]

Yeah the two other guys exaggerate everything to the point it becomes too cringy to listen to.

[@Shiroar]

So close to 3 golds this year! Absolute favourite rider for me. Just so smoooooooth. I love watching people do exactly what they’re meant to be doing. Kleveland just makes it look natural to defy gravity. Beautiful.

[@Blehkid]

HALDOR ALMOST HAD THAT. Marcus at the end just nailed something insane

[@mariagonzales11144]

Zeb- All Gas and No Breaks! 🤘

[@SaltyNolan]

I love that this has almost 100k more views than the super pipe. Knuckle huck is such a sick event

[@zhaomark92]

Zebs first run his goggles dropped😂

[@joseledesma4776]

Goose bumps with the level of creativity here. Imagine trying to catch an edge to do a trick. Insane!

[@ryanjonsson]

Honestly this event doesnt even need a winner. It can just be a 20 min showcase and id still be happy

[@MckWells]

Stony McBlaze!!! 23:12 I’m dying that he’s there in the crowd!

[@QURRXX]

Idk why people are saying Zeb got robbed, I don't think he landed a single trick cleanly

[@leonamadeusivkovic911]

To be fair there were a lot of landings missed all across the board so something was definitely hard about the landing. But i Agree

[@Opsity]

@leonamadeusivkovic911 Halldor, Kleveland, and Hendricksen only had one slip up out of their 5 runs. You can't take away from their consistency

[@TheOkayOutdoorsman]

But, you gotta admit. if Zeb put one down on the 200 that would have been GNARLY

[@DaltonBalkwill]

Favourite comp in xgames! Love the knuckle huck, so much creativity and style is shown

[@Gnarlszimmerman2]

The switch method was out of this world!!!

[@ezt1085]

So good to see Halldor in the x games!!!

[@charcuteri]

soooo sick to see halldor at X games he’s more than a legend

[@carstenb23]

Halldor should've won gold. I know Marcus is very talented and has a lot of skill, but the judges shouldn't be awarding spin-to-win in an event that's all about creativity.

[@LostTemplate]

you obviously don’t understand the judging criteria for this

[@zackcannon4522]

i disagree if zeb or dusty had actually hit their landings every time that would make sense but he went 5 for 5 i think the future of the event won’t see him but he won it this year

[@carstenb23]

@@LostTemplateyou’re missing my point. The judging criteria should be different. They shouldn’t be awarding a double 14 in a creativity event. It’s a very difficult trick, but there’s nothing original about it

Kleaveland is a technical madman, super clean, but in terms of style I got more vibes from Haldors stomps, dustys last move was fcken nuts, and Zeb is gettin fat//sloppy, needs to rework lol.

best contest at xgames by far! its the pure celebration of freedom during snowboarding!

[@DonnieBravvo]

Halldor should’ve won gold. I love Marcus but Halldor landed all of his runs cleanly and he was super creative

[@WGTBollox]

If creativity was the only metric sure, but Marcus stomped everything so incredibly clean and such technical tricks.

[@Frosie_]

@@WGTBollox I tought knuckle huck was created for creativity, if i'm not mistaken

[@zbignoz.tunnlerwitz_109]

@@Frosie_ Well now it seems like the purpose of the Knuckle Huck event is for ESPN to meet their forced diversity quotas.

[@LostTemplate]

creativity isn’t the only metric. that last hit from marcus kleveland won him it.

[@LostTemplate]

@@Frosie_ “creativity” is a broad term. Halldor didnt prebutter nearly as much as marcus.

[@beneatspizza2380]

i agree not enough edge of disaster this year...it looks too clean, some people like that but id like at least one event were the tricks all come with a near miss

[@charcuteri]

please bring halldor next year too he’s a legend

[@morell1185]

So many guys can spin a lot. Should keep this event criteria to airs grabs creativity steez. Gold run was like a slopestyle run, everyone else was more creative.

true but lowkey theres only about 3 riders who actually rode with the purpose of this event which is "creativity" him, backpack, and halldor were really pulling new stuff on the fly.

[@HowardWimshurst]

So happy to see another one of these. Marcus Kleveland was just too dominant to be denied another gold. I really like Moriz Boll's low key 360 butter to 540 7:38 here - the effortless flow of this one had me in awe. That angled landing even seemed to add to the appeal of it 😩 23:02 felt so dangerous but soo awesome 😩😩 he completely ragdolled himself 😂

[@yeahdudeproductions9830]

Haldor should’ve won, everyone who says zeb go watch it back we must not have watched the same vid.

[@More_Row]

And what about Kleveland

nope, he never buttered in and if you dont snowboard knuckles like this, then you have no idea how much it ups the difficulty
