I love watching this on KZbin So I can fast forward all the bs 🙂‍↔️

[@sageyowns26]

fr they’re too nonchalant, i don’t mind ads ik they need revenue, but half the video is just filler

[@dubnicko5747]

dude this video is probably only like 30 minutes long when you cut all that

[@321skaater]

They are inspired by ufc, ans ads and show its how sls stay alive kiddo

[@DirtyDirkDiggler]

You don’t like Backside’s? Damn, not even a Backside 360?

[@gollese]

Wdym? These a chill, i find the olympic games bit meh though but atleast we get to see skateboarding!

[@japhyvansan]

these are the best commentators - they're actually WATCHING the skating and TALKING ABOUT THE SKATING

The judges are dumbshits and have never skated....they were giving really weird scores. That tre to 50-50 should be at least a 9.3

[@damiantrevino1554]

Love that they have Sean malto as a commentator . He knows how to skate so he knows what to look for 🤟🏻

Was suppose to go to this but was too busy working. Looked awesome tho. Love when comps come to Vegas 🙌

[@DJ211D]

His time will come this year. He's been so close too many times

[@SAsh-zg6ln]

Which doofus created the landing area? Way too short, bud. Needed to be extended easily 10 feet vertically

[@ShouldHaveBeen]

And the run up.

[@flednanders4601]

And the curl on the rail

[@freshwaterfishingwithadrian]

You have to think about the building dimensions, seating for audience and standard regulations and then replicating spot best to the builders abilities

[@freshwaterfishingwithadrian]

@@flednanders4601if you listened to the intro it’s replicating a popular spot. You have to have a curved rail

Joslin robbed again. Who would've thought. Both his first 2 tricks were 9s and you can't convince me otherwise

You're right, but Antonio can tunnel himself out and escape like El Chapo.

[@Baked_intell]

Joslin got robbed landing 2 early 😒 he shoulda bailed till the 9 door was open and results be different. Never be the first to throw darts 😢

Strange to see yuto have such a bad set at the SLS. Nyjah was on fire again...

[@whileistaysecluded]

18:41 an 8.5 is not a 9? Damn, idk what id do without this top tier informed commentary.

[@schizballs]

malto bet on how many 9s people would land

[@tylersapp2]

Chris Joslin ❤

[@PlanetKaosIRL]

Faking tre scoring higher than Yuto’s Tre 50/50??? Nah that’s cap. Great contest but judging was a little wonky. Enjoyed tho 🎉

[@JSlice-gk5br]

agreed

[@robertbarnhart7791]

Fakie tre with that much run up is way harder. Also Jordan could tre flip 50 that with his eys closed

[@tylerriggs95]

Fakie tre is wayyy harder and everyone knows it

[@trentonziegler]

Fakie tre with minimal runup going that fast and clearing a gap that size is ridiculously difficult and takes so much precision. It's definitely a more difficult trick

[@bleedszn]

the judges have been so wack past few years

[@contingentone]

Congrats Ninja !

[@drmayne2071]

That Ollie north at the end should have been a bit higher based on creativity, the sheer risk of trying it in a contest, how unique it is, I don't know how long it would take any of those skaters to land that just during a session as good in a contest it's was just so surprising. Glad he got in the 9 ub though.

[@antonmyhrvold]

Cab flip back lip! Well deserved win JAH ❤❤❤

[@coincollectorchase]

Some good skating, I don't watch football or soccer, I watch Skateboarding. When Chris turned around, I just call that a Late Revert and I think that's a trick because it's a clear clean bold move on the board and I can't do that yet switch but working on switch stuff more often

[@ninjababyboss]

❤❤❤❤ congratulations broo

Hey pros. Here's a little gap with a weird little rail. Do your thing! 🤦‍♂️ this is just weird to me.

[@humanbean3]

i thought nyjah was gonna get robbed with that pretty low score for the nollie heel crook. glad to see he took it

[@MDSF90]

The trick to watching SLS videos (at least on mobile, bc I don’t know what button you hold on PC to press and release 2x speed). Anyway… Hold the screen press to watch in 2x speed until skater drops in, release the 2x speed press, watch trick, press down and hold 2x speed until the slowmo, when slowmo starts, release 2x speed, watch slowmo, 2x speed until next skater drops in… Rinse and repeat until 1hr video becomes 35 min video and enjoy SLS videos once again, the way you did when SLS first started and you had an attention span that could last through the video filler… You’re welcome! 😊❤😂

[@messythemanofficial5956]

Nike has done so much for skateboarding in the last decade ..Im a huge fan . Growing up I hated brands like Nike .. They weren't part of the culture I don't think until Bam Margera put them on or they put him on what have you . I still love brands like Van's and traditional skate shoes . But one can't deny how much attention Nike has brought to the sport . I feel like Nike is a great deal todo with Skateboarding being in the Olympics now ...Even if they're weren't interested in skateboarding in it's Hay day , I feel they have more then made up for that by popularizing the sport and creating SLS league and making some what now I feel are some of the best skate shoes ...I am back and fourth between Etnies and Nike for my favorite skate shoe

[@timemasta9777]

Im glad that the sls commentors were not on nyjahs D like the x games commenters there commentation was great.

[@jacobduplessis6970]

Nyjah and yutos first tricks need to be scored way higher, tre 50 on a rail is easily a 9

garbo judging. 8.8 for sw tre but 8.6 for nollie heel crook???

sjns oh hs on s on s ok

[@nickadkins7765]

SLS judging is always inconsistent....especially when they judge Ginwoo! He ALWAYS gets flat out robbed on his best trick/line runs I swear

[@benjaminterrell2221]

can some one explain why chris joslin got 8.3 on his trick down the big set and Deiki got 6 something. Does't that seem like some problematic judging?

[@Cloudy222]

Deiki landed it and rolled away still in switch, Joslin reverted. So they scored him .3 higher than Joslin. Not problematic, actually the leased problematic scoring decision in sls history tbh.

[@Mau5lex]

@@Cloudy222he meant 6.0, not 8.6

The Japanese are taking over the world with their discipline! And it shows in skateboarding too.

[@stalwartzero7001]

Why’s the course smaller than their private parks?

[@ashxc]

because it recreates a real street spot

[@mattlee3400]

Funny seeing yuto not doing a Nollie 270 something first

[@sotografik]

Love SLS, but Apex is sorta of a miss. I think we would all rather see ledge runs stage. Apex is already sort of done during the best trick part of the regular SLS competition and the lack of crowd is just ok. something to think about.

[@xyprophis3067]

Wondering.... Why haven't we seen Andy Anderson compete in SLS?

Yuto, Nyjah, Jordan, and Joslin in the same group? Jesus! The parks are getting ridiculous. Almost zero room to land anything and roll-away.

[@mrniceguy199318]

That 8.4 from Louie Lopez was over scored and messed up the whole competition🤦🏾‍♂️

[@AnaClaraRodriguesdaSilvaRo-n7s]

Yuto horigome?

So outright touching the ground can get more points than a sketchy landing and almost losing your board can get you the first 9 of the day? 😅 Worst scoring I've ever seen. Is doing clean tricks not a thing any more for judges?
