bring back the points

[@Holden27]

Rene Rinnekangas should’a got extra points for jumping off that jeep 😂

[@KIMIXNEKO420]

He should get that jeep xd

[@isaiahserpa5169]

red got straight robbed, guy put out like 20 different tricks buttery

[@3starsfell]

Red absolutely was the winner.

[@user-wk6oj4cx1i]

@@3starsfell Absolutely was the winner. By the exact criteria of the competition description. He ripped it.

[@bullowner7157]

[@zonecatchingflights9838]

Agree fam they robbed my boy red

[@statrosa]

Here is the thing: I miss so much the adrenaline of waiting for the score....

[@sixangrygoons]

How did Darcy jump from last to first though? Don’t know if I like this jam session in the finals.. it feels so compressed without the excitement, I like it in the elims tho

[@G_Dawg]

Utter BS.

[@felixreicher8490]

I mean respect for darcy but he did not earn it if u compare him to red or mons!!

[@stevanblum25]

Yeah I agree, in the eliminations this was ok but I really think that Red deserved it today, he was way more consistent and worked way harder to stomp different tricks. Such is sports though!

[@felixreicher8490]

Stevan Blum true! And the outcome wasn‘t matching with their new format at all. Red did different tricks and stomped mosted of his runs, darcy tried one run 4 times, lands 1 time and boom first, and tbh it wasn‘t even that good of a run

[@TheGorglesnort]

Its all about whos sponsors offer the most money to the competition producers and organizers.

[@devastKink]

Bring back the old format!!

[@kaylimanalo9674]

everyone's been saying it but imma add my own two cents. the jam format shouldn't be used at the very least for finals in SS, Pipe, or BA. the old system allowed for each trick in each run to be analyzed and explained which is especially helpful for people who are just getting into snowboarding. this format makes it hard for the audience (and honestly everyone else probably) to know whats going on in the competition, where people stand and why. i understand the need for versatility but there is a need for scores to make the comps more suspenseful and intriguing to watch. there's definitely a way to combine the jam session with a scoring system. i saw a few comments with some really good suggestions but i have faith that x games will figure it out and improve the format next year.

[@Synathidy]

I can't totally put my finger on it... but I see something special in Brock Crouch's overall style and form. So very technically sound, fluid... and he lands with a certain authori-tay.

[@david3wrightson684]

hah ah i agree hes sick

[@graysonshirley7499]

Red had best impression overall imo. stomped 4 different runs

[@that_cat21]

gotta have the old system for the finals. also poor mark, he had so much pressure on him to make history and it just wasn’t there.

[@sahil.k2895]

Mark is a legend but the gold medal had to be for red. Red pulled of great runs

[@iAmMrGordy]

I understand the need to try something new, but please don't bring this format back for next year. It gets rid of all the tension for a finals run and makes it just boring to watch cuz everyone is playing it so safe. Also, anyone else miss the money booter? Not sure why they got rid of it this year.

[@gojiragraphics6755]

Clint Gordy couldnt agree more. Its hard to understand how darcy won after red put down 4 amazing complete runs. No explanation given so were just like uhhh ok it was a sick run but what does overall impression even mean?

[@toony_grant]

Yeah I don't get it...Red and McMo are going all out while darcy plays it safe for 3 runs...

[@acannoli8287]

“Switch double backside rodeo switch tail grab” Me: It’s to bad he didn’t throw in a dictionary on the next jump. Seriously though, all the athletes this year @Xgames are incredibly impressive. As I’ve said in another comment, it would be great to have a clear way to see how runs compare score wise across the event, perhaps in this kind of timed format but do average score between all runs? I know Xgames is seeing everybodies response to this new format (mostly negative) but I’m certain they’ll do something that can bring us the best of both new and old. Can’t wait to see Xgames in the future! Edit: Quote from 9:54

[@fishingdude321]

Not liking this new format. Feels less exciting and confused on how Darcy jumped to first.

[@hoglino1556]

i agree

[@robl8313]

Red should have won it he had 4 dif runs and never fell. Stupid format dumb judges. Darcys rail game was incredible but he should have been third at best. meh

[@tylerwhite883]

For sure the judges need to put a score out for each run and then add them up as they go.

[@shawndizzletv]

​@@robl8313 thank god you're not a judge.

[@jamesbailey4304]

I took a shot every time he said "jeep slope style course" and was drunk halfway through

[@joosfetter7117]

Brock deserved a medal, because all of his runs were good and landed. So on Darcy does not deserve the gold he had only one good and ine perfect run and two failed ones.

[@desmoMarco91]

plus...he did a simple frontboard on a rail in his "perfect" run

[@hoglino1556]

the format should stay for all qualis, but it doesn't fit the finals. It takes away the hype

[@stevanblum25]

Yeah I agree, in eliminations I love it, but when I saw it was also for finals, I was kinda like, “huh?” I don’t think it’s as fun as before to watch for the finals

[@timdedecker7894]

how do you jump from 8th to 1st with a blunt to fakie and a handdrag

[@isaack7]

🧡I love to see more rodeos being thrown! Previous years you were hard pressed to see any🧡 my favorite to throw by far!

[@rickrogued9875]

it seems so obvious that jam format is perfect for qualifying and scored format is perfect for finals how could they get it so wrong

[@jordanlarson6488]

How did Red not get gold? He had the smoothest and flawless runs (no falls or bobbles) and he mixed up so many of the tricks. Just left feeling confused how Darcy got the top spot.

[@JoeBeanBob]

It's cause of the format

[@newbzor52]

@@JoeBeanBob I feel like overall impression should have favored Red Gerard. He landed pretty much every trick and did 4 different runs. Either the announcers screwed up explaining the scoring or the judges didn't do their jobs.

[@JoeBeanBob]

@@newbzor52 I guess it's just the judges then

[@cowturtlestudios8397]

This new format sucks tbh, u don’t see these guys send on every run and the suspense isn’t there. It’s just boring to watch

[@3starsfell]

Totally disagree my comment is above.

[@msom1]

the ImPrESsiOn format is so stupid, I don't even want to watch this. It only makes sense for knuckle Huck and maybe rail jam but everything is so stupid

[@isaack7]

I disagree. It takes away the possibility of judges over judging and doing silly things like giving a perfect score. It also puts a much heavier focus on the riders need to be versatile. Riders can no longer hide behind having 1 or 2 big tricks. It's crazy how many pros in the past would be whipping tripple corks on one specific access but then you learn they can't do a rodeo, or can only spin flat or only spin cork or only spin front side or etc. Etc.etc. slopestyle is about well rounded versatility and this format forces you to be more well rounded

[@elijahgavin6706]

Isaac Knuuttila great points!

[@msom1]

@burteriksson knuckle huck is fun to watch

[@msom1]

@burteriksson idk i like seeing more style rather than more spins

[@msom1]

@burteriksson ?? no, i dont see how that relates to knuckle huck or snowboarding in general but i just like how knuckle huck is just them having fun rather than tossing quad corks

[@ericstevens653]

This "jam" format is really bad for all the core competitions (SS, Pipe, BA). Two points: 1) Judging was already subjective enough the way things were before; this format completely removes the audience from understanding what is happening in the competition (and I would bet the riders too). 2) While I see that it is supposed to give us more riding in the event it also seems to incentivize less technical runs making it more boring to watch.

[@mzketch22um]

not a fan of the new format-- takes away the suspense. Also way harder for the audience (and probably the riders) to follow.

[@ethandeters3528]

I like this format because it lets them do more and bigger tricks that they wouldn’t try with the old one

[@felixreicher8490]

I mean respect for darcy but he did not earn it if u compare him to red or mons!!

[@Brentaroeo4ever]

Thanks x games channel😍😍😍😍

[@mattedwards_]

I love the course this year, the rails are always such an underrated part but they were huge this year, and now a 4th jump?? Yes 😍

[@numbersin]

The scoring system has 0 drama for the audience and riders, relevant scoring per run gives us a guide of what is going on

[@lilcanadying3237]

was surprised at how marks runs went, but none the less i hope he's alright and doesn't take it too bad because he's still amazing and he can still win! also congrats to darcy! TEAM CANADA

[@MrJTeleVision]

You should do the session style contests for every event, double the events, differentiere scoring systems, and different in how you’re judged

[@mikebothwell2321]

Loving this new format!! No one is safe!!!😈

[@-shirkeeey3209]

Red got robbed. I don't like this new format.

[@zonecatchingflights9838]

[@desmoMarco91]

This format took all the beauty of this comp away...was more excited watching LAAX open live. This doesn't even feel like a comp anymore. Wont be watching the xgames anymore if they keep using this scoring system

[@richardenzmann1832]

Who the heck takes them ugly photos of those handsome young men!?

[@bindeasy]

Thank you for putting this on KZbin🙏🏽 This coarse is sick and you can tell how difficult is by the follow cams. Ie. Brocks first run. Just stop please.

[@brendenlisi2302]

When Anna started speaking I just knew it was her reminiscing her favorite human who set her up for life.

[@Synathidy]

The phrase "tickling the melon" was used to describe a snowboard trick here. I invite others to think of the many other varied and fascinating contexts this phrase could be applied to.

[@elijahgavin6706]

Synathidy I can think of several between the refrigerator and the bedroom

[@sneale4703]

I was so happy because I tried my first 180 on my skis and now I want to go to the x games P.s I failed miserably at my 180

[@nani3183]

And with just one change you’ve completely ruined slopestyle. What even is this scoring format?! It wasn’t broke so why try fix it?! X games have done to slopestyle what Disney did to Star Wars. Got something ppl love and F*cked it.

[@SnoWman7171]

It´s funny how sick the skill level in snowboarding has became in the last 10 or 15 years

[@da9el883]

the jam and total impression format works well in slopestyle ( reason, if they fall or make a little error, they can still impress on their run and finish it instead of trying again on the next run , but not in big jump. if you fail there you have already failed. since its only one jump in a run, compared to slopestyle which has a lot of elements in each run. they can still use jam in big jump though, as long as there is scores! but please bring back the scores, live ranking? didnt work for me at all! agree with a lot of people here about that especially

[@aidanwatson7855]

Havent even watched this yet and I can tell, Mark Mcmorris will win based on this new, transparent, “Overall Impression” format that absolutely cannot be corrupted

[@TheJonbonesjones]

LAZERpeowpeow mark didn’t do that good. He fell like 3 times in his last run

[@TheMrBerliner]

it seems I'm the only one loving this format though. But it's definitely not working out correctly yet. How can Red not win this competition with so different, clean and technical runs? And how can Darcy jump from 8th to 1st (Darcys riding is awesome, but wasn't the best in this competition) Why is everyone hating this format? It brings back more style and different tricks. Competition is more about riding than rating again and 1620's are still awarded if they land it (this competition would have gone in a completely different direction if mark mcmorris had stomped his 1620 in his first run - everyone would have shown more technical tricks afterwards). How about going back using the system that the two best runs are counted together but the runs must be different - like in some big air competitions?

[@calebkasprzyk7114]

I'll join the general consensus: I hate the new format for the final. But this is how you fix it: keep this format for eliminations, but on the final, do it like best trick where each run gets a score and the best two scores are added together. Problem solved.

[@WaffleHouseHD]

anyone know what kind of snowpants rene is wearing?

[@nategans5406]

I like the jam format, who cares who wins, in the end, its all about having fun. I'm not about any form of competition period so that's just me in my own world like usual. I usually just watch highlight clip edits from competitions, it's boring in my opinion, but this I watched all the thru.

[@thebeelyexperience6951]

Awesome

[@SpectralHD]

This is super late but does anyone know the music at 14:00?

[@Surfschule_Heidkate]

Why not combine both formats: Point system to 80 Points and adding another 20 for "overall expression/style/creativity". Would be way more transparent

[@elijahgavin6706]

You’ve got it!

[@mizzomentall]

that funny accent of Anna when spoke english about Jake B. Carpenter

[@treborvelasquez27]

love the xgames but they should've never got rid of boarder /skier cross!

[@matthewzimmers1097]

Had to watch this over again. Watched Darcy’s Gold Medal Run videos. Then forwarded to each of Red Gerard’s runs. Idk, I love Darcy, but he shouldn’t have gotten gold over Red. The only thing I can think of is that Red did a lot of his same rail tricks and I think only had 2 different tricks on the shark fin. But he landed all his runs? Idk I’m confused and disappointed. Don’t really care for this scoring system. Seemed like Red was consistently going bigger.

[@alexanderwootten5160]

Appreciated the Step Brothers quote

[@bashjelen9954]

never seen someone get robbed so badly

[@JG-zx9yn]

the filming was pretty rough, especially the follow cam. Could I do better?... no. But its their job

[@defran2462]

I understand this format is to get in more runs, but I’d much rather have 3 runs of everyone sending it and trying to get the highest score, then 4 runs of them just trying to put down solid, complete runs for consistency. Please get rid of this format, it ruined this event.

[@DerZ401]

Hahah sorry Darcy but his run was the same as everyone else’s complete run. Plus its over all impression so how tf can you mess up on every run except one and win. Let’s go back to seeing the scoring thanks.

[@flornavarro2803]

I feel like Red or Brock should have won??

[@elinanilsson1327]

sven had the best run

[@jrbaconcheez]

Ok sure the format changes things..but Darcy still deserved this with his versatility which is required for this format

[@WaffleHouseHD]

idk man i think red got absolutely robbed. the kid threw down 4 incredible unique runs

[@Matt-ky9hw]

Kinda unfair that Red went into his last run thinking he was in first, I feel like he would’ve went way bigger had he known he needed to pass Darcy but instead was trying to land everything to keep his spot at #1. Really shitty system either way and they really need to bring points back

[@simenask9242]

am I the only one that not like the sharkfin jump? look like most of the guys are fighting to get some air on it.. and the new point system....

[@cblang8115]

Red Gerard was robbed if this is truly an overall impression and not a best run.

[@TheBeastOfTheEast54]

i was iffy on this format till this, Red got robbed. How does 1 run move him from last to 1st over someone who lead the entire contest? really don't understand this whole scoring as a viewer

So, Mark McMorris is Craig's brother, right?

[@444milk]

yes, younger brother

Congrats to Darcy he came up clutch on his final run, something to be said for that.. But i don't like this format

[@joshfleetwood145]

Not a fan of this new format! How did Darcey jump to first, but Red put down all his runs, showing maximum variation and scrapes a bronze? Please bring back the old format in the finals. In the elimination it's fine, but we need the scores in the finals!!!
