KINGS & QUEENS OF CORBET'S 2022: TOP 5 MEN'S RUNS

[@greif1779]

Way too much emphasis on the last kicker. The whole point of kings and queens of Corbet's (for me at least) is the creativity and style of the drop-in.

[@georgemartin4811]

Agreed. You can throw down something off a jump like that anywhere, you can only drop into corbets at corbets.

[@kingschuyler3890]

I think they just had to do something different this year since conditions weren't great at the top.

[@greif1779]

@@kingschuyler3890 yeah the drop looked kinda meh this year

[@kingschuyler3890]

@@greif1779 yeah :/ not the rider's fault, Jackson just didn't get a whole lot of snow this Febuary. I'm sure they wanted to send harder, just had to be cognizant of the somewhat icy conditions. Hopefully they'll be more snow next year and they'll take away the emphasis on those lower jumps

[@klixplus]

Agree, very different year and all about that bottom kicker. Looked pretty messy up the top but still no send at all up there

[@tbakken14]

Parkin Costain's back to back backies was rad. Park jumps are over rated for a comp in Corbet's

[@chicklechives]

True, should be an expression of freeride, not a cliff into park

[@casetheace9845]

4th place got robbed of his 3rd place

[@SergeantFive]

Agreed Parkin's was my favorite run

[@ExAlfa]

I see so much emphasis on the big finale, but IMO the drop and the quality of the jumps taken before the runout are what should crown the royalty. That said, I thought Jake's first was a standout.

[@edjack1993]

Agree 100%

[@jxckhxncho7121]

What’s the runout

[@terdfergeson23]

I think they should have a special award for the best drop separate from the podium. Call it Best in Show for the most unique send off the top

[@iliketoski01]

Thank you for just keeping it real and not putting any music to the video. Makes it so much more pure.

[@jn960502]

Agreed, kind of a bust this year, just a comp on the last jump really, no crazy drop-ins at all. None of these were even top five in any of the previous competitions.

[@MrIsomer]

Sure, Hans stuck his last jump flawlessly - but Yuki was rock solid and had total poise throughout his descent. He clearly won in my vote...

[@ixPeekABooBix]

last jump makes it seem like a regular competition. Corbet's should always be about the drop-in

[@ddrnightmare]

Kind of disappointed with how impactful the jumps after the drop are on the actual scoring.

[@redbull]

just coming back to watch these runs again 😎

[@nnotloc-]

yuki is just so good.

[@ljunderground]

Yuki’s style is next level

[@ljunderground]

Zeb P is sick too

[@GershonBenYitzhak]

They really toned down the drop this year and I have no idea why. Conditions were harsh, I get that, but still sad to see how little air they all got off the drop in.

[@michaelshell6188]

Conditions were WAAAAY worse than harsh. We had like 30 days of no snow. The fact that they even dropped in is insane to me.

[@tyelliott540]

because it was hard crust under just a couple inches of pow

[@GershonBenYitzhak]

@@michaelshell6188 aha ok well that makes sense then. The chat was brutal live lol

[@willdykema]

Yeah even the skiers weren’t taking the drop.. the fact yuki Miller flipped the main drop is honestly insane

[@terdfergeson23]

Yea I was there a week before the competition and it was bare with lots of rocks sticking out on the run. People were skeptical if it was even going to happen

[@Merkwuuurdigliebe]

I just watched the top 5 from last year before this. Really, really interesting to see the change in approach in different conditions. I see a lot of people commenting on how the runs were less bold into the couloir itself this year... ask yourself why. Listen to the landings this year... thats borderline dust on crust in the upper bowl. They couldn't just yeet themselves off the cliff in that lol. That only serves to make these runs more impressive tbh... if a little less dramatic.

[@galehess6676]

Oooo ya! Conditions were marginal all year. We were there a month earlier and they still hadn't gotten any snow a month later for this Red Bull bit

[@blittster]

Looks, and sounds, suuuper icy. No wonder it was a less impressive display this year. Shitty conditions all around.

[@Stronzone74]

Bummer. Was the purest contest out there, until the park kids and sponsors turned it into just another big air event. Bring back the huckers!

[@veliveli8996]

The drops were humdrum this year… Costain took it hitting the three others with big air!

[@jacobkennedy5673]

people were taking it easy into the coilour because theres no snow this year. thats why they had the big kickers set up at the bottom, it was too dangerous to be hucking a backy into corbets

[@paulbalalas496]

Feels like they didn't send the drop in as hard this year

[@remiflacozorus1163]

Yuki Kadono 🥇🤯

[@TJMiton]

Please put the emphasis back on the drop in. Corbet's Couloir should just be a standard run comp.

[@loganboland6252]

I feel like Yuki got robbed…

[@wman887]

If he didn’t fall I think he woulda won

[@willdykema]

Yeah but hans also deserved it… put it down a little cleaner.

[@Mouchou_]

It's true that his drop was a little cleaner and that should be the main thing of the competition but still the riders all voted together to choose hans so i respect that

[@fdfac]

You have to give the folks at this resort Kudos for coming up with this run and exploiting the potential, brilliant, especially for an industry that has declined in the past two decades.

[@Gary-np7hl]

according to data provided by the national ski areas association there were 59 million visits last year and 57 million in 2001.

[@fdfac]

@@Gary-np7hl That may be true, but what also is true, is the fact that some generations ski more than others in any given season. Boomers take extended stays and will ski 2 - times more often than any other generation. Younger generations are not likely to do the same, which is a shame.

[@computerbob06]

There was a time when Freeriding was all about riding the mountain as you find it! Good ole Red Bull putting their particular brand of sporting competition through its paces!

[@scottrobertson9788]

Looks so awesome! Has Jackson Hole had a rough year with the snow?

[@danielboyle1237]

I was there a few weeks ago and they had 124 inches for the year. Apparently that’s below average for them.

The first two KINGS Queens was the best years. People was doing crazy jumps off Corbets. Don't get me wrong i give it to anyone going off the jump. Glad they all landed safe and had the time of their lives doing it.

[@Powderhound-cb8pb]

No disrespect to anyone but Parkin took that all day.

[@nick-ll6zk]

i really hate the "progression" of this event. Started so cool and unique, and now 4 of the top 5 runs did almost nothing on the entry to corbets, which should absolutely be the focus.

Is it just me or was it way better last year? Probably due to the coverage conditions but still

[@keithgrainger8797]

Whats the craic... looks tame in comparison to years of late. Were the conditions not favourable? Bit hard packed?

[@thundercats2004]

So snowboarders get some sort of a handicap? That's the only reason I can explain why any of them places higher than the skiers I saw in this video

[@veliveli8996]

I was thinking the same thing. Costain took it

[@gcodin11]

Both the top snowboarders did corked 1080s and none of the skiers did more than a 720, but ok.

[@thundercats2004]

@@gcodin11 as impressive as that is I'll kind of refer to some of the other comments on the video. Is the bottom jump weighted that much in the scoring? And should it be? It's a competition about how you can approach a natural feature, not a park competition. Yuki's entrance was epic, yes. Costain did a backflip off a natural feature off fall-line in the middle of the run. The two skier's entrances and runs were better for me. I don't think the last hit should even be considered

[@thundercats2004]

@@gcodin11 and really, why are they judging skier's and snowboarders together? Kind of odd to me, but whatever

[@gcodin11]

You don't think the last jump should even be considered? Lol. Well I guess if you ignore that part of the run, I can understand why you are so confused.

[@gg_2377]

What the heck? No one is sending the main drop and there are park jumps at the bottom? It’s like they forgot what the competition was supposed to be about

[@77hoolie]

Please tell me the final jump isn’t part of the scoring. If it is - then this just sold out - and it’s just another jump competition. Too bad. Used to be so cool.

[@BlackRose3610]

Does anyone else feel like this is just watching people hit the last kicker? It’s not about corbets… glad we all watched the first one when we did, it’s clearly dead now

[@iseeyourschwarz8973]

i feel like the run should be scored 60% corbets entry, 20% run down, 20% booter. The entry drops were pretty meh this year compared to previous years, even accounting for the hectic wind

[@mikerenz6029]

That's a good way of breaking down the scores! I believe they mentioned riders could shape and build their own take offs in past years, but had to make do with what was built for them this year, which was a lot more mellow. Probably why we didn't see people going as big 🙁

[@ryanvdonk87]

@@mikerenz6029 or they didnt have any snow for over a month so it was super icy

[@justindersham]

@@mikerenz6029 Not true at all. The athletes build the central entrance lower than it had been the morning of the competition. Their decision to make it more tame and it was understandable.
