I hate the spin to win. It was clear that Jesper was trying to bring back the style not just spinning. It was so sad to see him have to give in to get onto the podium

[@winter99999]

Totally agree. Sending a dub 12 (for example) off the knuckle is crazy, and the number of variations these boys come up with is nuts, but it's kind of a standard trick at this point. We all know they can all do the big spins, I just wish they'd save them for slopestyle and big air. I know it can be tough though when the judges reward s2w.

[@gageedmondsonski24]

Ya don’t like skiing turning into gymnastics

[@johanborsgard2221]

Agree, Im very dissapointed. I loved huckle knuck because it wasnt all about spinning.

[@Sink778]

All Jesper does is backflips and front flips, juho was the one with the steeze

[@jonty50]

I would cap the spins at 1080 or something. As in they’re entitled to spin beyond that but the judges have to judge it like they’ve only thrown a 1080 and then score the overall trick based on creativity, axis etc

[@Roadkitten]

I feel like the fact that they changed the shape of the lip to be more like a tabletop is discouraging a lot of the more creative knuckle tricks that make this event unique. I hope in the future they mellow it out a little more next year

[@Roadkitten]

With how popular knuckle huck is getting as an event they should probably start building a knuckle like they have been having at absolut in recent years

[@jon630]

Yeah it doesn't even feel like knuckle huck...just big air jr....medium air I guess

[@maxrobbins4835]

I really hope the knuckle huck doesn't continue down the spin-to-win trajectory it's on---that's what big air is for. The huck is for vibes and creativity.

[@Sink778]

Juho should’ve won 🏆 he was going for style, and when he didn’t, he would do axis nobody else would do

[@strat1227]

Knuckle huck one the one last bit of xgames with steez and creativity, shame that era has ended.

[@FLY1NF1SH]

Maybe slvsh can carry the torch now

[@gjohnson9260]

Hopefully they do street style for skiers next year. Snowboarding street style was such a nice break from big spins

[@carstenb23]

Hey man, don't jump to conclusions. Be optimistic. Just because spin-to-win was rewarded this year doesn't mean it will in every future kuckle huck. X Games reads comments, and they listen to feedback. I have hope that they will change the judging on this

[@fharraig]

been holding off watching the real broadcast, waiting for steepsteep reaction ty king

[@ChichillasGM]

Same

[@mattgrabowski702]

I watched the comp when it was posted so I could see if I would have the same thoughts. Turns out I'm definitely part of the steepsteep hivemind now. I even used the phrase spin to win. :/ I even shared the thought that Jesper threw that last dub cork to please the judges to get on the podium. Still a sick comp and lots of crazy tricks but yeah, just a light amount of disappointment sprinkled on. Not enough to come close to ruining it or anything just to be clear.

[@jcros_]

same

[@Klocklockdnb]

Same 😂

[@nicoblunck9803]

Rule suggestion for knuckle huck: technicality in spin scores only till 540 or 720, like you could do more, just a flat 1620 would be scored the same as a flat 720

[@phillyphan595]

they need to change something about this event. Big Air is mostly spin to win, even though they said they'd move away from that idea. Creativity should be rewarded WAY more in this event....also make it less of a lip so they can't just launch to the moon and spin like crazy!!

[@ddandymann]

Jesper sending the dub 12 reminds me of when A Hall sent the 2160 in big air two years back, in both cases you could tell that they didn't want to do that trick but were forced to by the judging.

[@canadianbaconeh6]

6:11 The Runescape music did not go unnoticed 😂

[@Roellie]

YESSSS MRSTEEP REACTS TO X GAMES AGAINNNN

[@hunterspadaro290]

We definitely need a Steep-cast Xgames knucklehuck 2025

[@ewan_young]

I replayed this 5:52 more time than the hole videos length , absolutely insane

[@MakoXL]

As amazing as the tricks were, most were just done on a really small tabletop. I wanted to see more use of the actual knuckle..... Hand drags, tip drags, helmet taps..... Jesper killed it with the flip onto the flat, flip off knuckle

[@rreeser3271]

the who let the dogs out dub when Henrik starts barking got me 🤣

[@joshjjjjj25]

I love the style addition to the big air but i wish they made it a separate style big air event. I love the more steezy tricks over the spin to win tricks.

[@ashesii]

been waiting for this one, next year they're getting you out there to cast 🦆

[@MONEYMVN]

At this moment we gotta wait for steepsteeps reaction/commentary on the event for a full on experience! Way more energic and enthusiastic compared to the paid ones at the eventdesk! Keep on your hard woork steep! lovely to watch all of ur content fr

[@literallyanythingelseother]

spin to win killed competition skiing/snowboarding decades ago. Sad to see it hasn't changed at all. First half was banger with a lot of chill stuff

[@zakride6330]

I always love watching your X Games reacts videos every year💯

[@MartianMoon]

“What do you call a nollie that’s on your tails” That’s an ollie bro lol Nollie means “nose ollie”

[@zakride6330]

I always love watching your X Games reacts videos every year!

[@zakride6330]

I always love watching your X Games reacts videos every year!💯

[@benoveson]

Always entertaining, thanks for the commentary. Im pretty sure more people watch this more than the actual x-games broadcast. I wish they would just hire you to commentate and reward the people that are promoting and growing the sport. Loved the 30 year mortgage analogy, even bringing in the interest rate. Also bummed that it's turned into a goofy big air contest. Big air is not as fun to watch as the og knuckle hucks.

[@julianpaz3750]

soundfont SOAD had me in tears

[@loamymtb]

whoahhh you gave me a huge throwback with that wc3 human campaign music at the beginning. had to go looking for it after i heard it!

[@Flying_Flynn]

Steep, I love how you are always so nice and good in skiing. Just how far you have become is insane ❤

[@ellisknapp8778]

Pov: you’re watching him watch an ad and KZbin decides that you need your own add fo you can finish watching him watch an ad

[@deloron8813]

Nice DKC2 Soundtrack

[@ChichillasGM]

17:43 Shame this is getting into another spin to win 😢

[@Poizoni]

favorite time of year is when this video comes out

[@patrickmcclay6065]

You have no idea how happy it makes me whenever i hear the skyrim or runescape music in your vids, keep it coming ...

[@nalabatch]

[@greasyrails2571]

Sick video the stoke is crazy

[@Jarle1510]

0:53 the Wc3 soundtrack goated soundtrack

[@go1988]

Dude, the music in your edit is choice. First with the Skyrim classic, and then the SOAD N64 soundfront?!

[@SpeedyMckeezy]

Wow you're really good at this commentary stuff, you should make a career out of it!

[@zedbros6971]

Yoooo 15:48 Toxicity by soad

[@vlauderlauders741]

I love the music in the background.

[@rdcruick]

The warcraft 3 music in the background is fucking hilarious 😂

[@fmfory6]

Here for another year!!

[@tymur1234]

[@ludviglarsson2020]

[@ludviglarsson2020]

Sounds like ”The Rhyme” with a different beat

[@MakoXL]

What a lineup of legends

[@Le_Ti_Renard]

Love the Skyrim music in the background😂

[@imcontemptwithlife4155]

LineSkis trynna advertise the women’s knuckle huck was so goofy 😂

[@guillaumevieille8034]

[@jacobsandy8539]

Ayyyyy that’s me at 0:46 ❤

[@joenuttah7886]

Your editing made this better than watching live

[@tear20]

Would be awesome to see you film here in Finland with Juho!

[@normipaiva]

The best skiing content on the planet right here lads

[@itzrandomreg2573]

I have never watched a ski channle that makes me this happy to watch

[@stevenstevens6149]

Dude! This is the first video I’m watching from your channel and not only are the vibes amazing but I think I just heard west side Gunn?? Amazing Edit: you a real hip hop head

[@Ludawrist]

[@kotastrophie]

When everyone and their mother is talking about the superbowl and there’s this guy

[@Grant-of6cj]

Love ya steep

[@aidanmorrison8116]

dont even ski but the way this guy talks is incredible

[@aarons.4906]

i dont even ski but loved the commentary man. new sub.

[@BreakOutOfTheAlgorithm]

I’m looking forward to the day that Red Bull and X games hires you to be their commentator. Keep up the great work brother! 👁❄️👁

[@Gavin__Kennedy]

Gotta check the snowboard huck now

[@XDRikku99]

Love the skyrim background

[@rubikquitous8482]

Warcraft 3 music? wow i didnt expect that

[@Pshady]

Jesper’s runs were magnificent

[@KikouLOL6702]

That system of a down toxicity remix was lit

[@steepsteep]

Hits so hard

[@xtr3mso282]

Hitting a backflip on flat ground with skis is fucking crazy.

[@yannik9730]

Glorious thumbnail xD

[@Bluepaccao]

HELL YEAH the wc3 music!

[@Ilike2killnoobs]

Jesper deserved it for that first trick alone. Looked totally inhuman. Juho a close second for me.

[@lorenzoilre]

THIS IS WHAT I WAS WAITING FOR

[@simpsons721]

Great breakdown!

[@BballerMMS]

Westside Gunn adlib 😂

[@FunkyKarim93]

Thanks for Skyrim music

[@jchoi5488]

When you hear Skyrim you know it’s about to be sent

[@Andreas-cs6wg]

Ah, I'm looking forward to the quad 2160's on the knuckle huck next year. Maybe they can do some 2340's the year after.

[@assel..]

harlaut gotta be one of the cutest skiers out there

[@TarBoysWorldWide]

Does Mr. Steep not work for ESPN because he’s already making too much money on KZbin? Because Mr. Steep is by far the most superior commentator of all snow sports.

[@sebastianswbarb]

True lol

[@ianhannay4731]

GOATED for the Runescape music

[@brotgeschmiert1513]

FINALLY XGAMES REACTIONS

[@matthewhochschild9934]

Skyrim music in the back lol

[@FlatbottomBomber]

When do we get the 2024 snowboard knuckle huck reaction?

[@extrahassig3438]

Is knuckle huck snowboard reaction coming too?

[@kumatmebrah9044]

Some of these don't even make sense physics wise, it's incredible. Love your enthusiasm, keep it up!

[@_nickbaxxter]

Did I just hear Skyrim? 😂 2:19

[@DukeFerg]

RuneScape soad goes crazy

[@brentevans5497]

Gotta say, I hate how the Knuck Huck is going from style and creativity, to now a miniature big air comp. A few people try for the OG KH styles but they eventually have to start throwing big flips/spins to get judged properly. Sad to see and I hope that it changes next year.

[@mintyfreshness78]

Thought he was about to read my my amortization table.

[@caseyrimdinger3220]

Steepsteep drops same day as justalex, Mind blown 😅

[@droppedwaffle242]

im here for the butter.... im sad we didnt get the butter....

[@almidysolo2234]

bro i need the song from when alex hall did the hand drag

[@glennrudolph]

I am a dentist in Alabama. Why the heck I just watched this whole video is beyond me.

[@ModForez]

its the runescape music for me

[@smart_mushroom_]

Wish everything wasn’t spin to win, nice to see jesper is still trying to keep it stylish and clean

[@MelinaJamiee]

Jesper was the only one who actually had some creativity and it bothers me they reward spin over style, that’s what big air is for, everyone did impressive jumps but Jesper is the only one that stood out amongst them.

[@E123poptart4me]

🗣️ GET HIM IN THE BOOTH

[@samgonnella6469]

Steepsteep X games feature 2025?!!? 🤩

[@henry3star820]

Skyrim music is crazy

[@acidtv596]

"This guy has more hardware than a home depot" (in the heavy canadian accent)😂😂. Why is this man not an actual commentator on these events??

[@wilbur2906]

Warcraft 3: Reign of Chaos soundtrack goes hard

[@Icedkule]

was waiting for this upload fuck yes

[@AP-fu3gg]

Been waiting for this. Nice. Perfect. Now do big air maybe?

[@GIVEMESN1PE]

Great now we have 2 big air competitions. Everything past a 1080 looks the same to me as a casual fan (I'm sorry) but I've never seen a front flip to flat and then a second one off the knuckle in any sport. Thats the stuff I want to see when I turn on X Games. If I want to see how many completely soulless spin tricks someone can do I'll watch the olympics or something idk.

[@oreel_koekje9662]

yooooooo steep
