I found this game many years ago not long after my mom moved back from out of state, it was the start of me getting to be with her again (divorced parents). One of my favorite memories was super young me laying in her lap, playing SSX Tricky, and eating some frozen yogurt cup in the cheap barely held together apartment. It doesnt seem much, but SSX Tricky will always be a memory for me

[@KMACKTIME]

This game was my JAMMMMMM!!!! Mac was the best. A knock off emininem who busts sick ubers. Loved it on gamecube.. needs a remaster!!

[@zennornewbury302]

When I was younger I sold all my ps2 games because we were falling on hard times and I wanted to help. Ever since then I've been gradually rebuilding the collection with the original games that I had in it too. And SSX Tricky was the last one I needed and it arrived in an eBay bundle last week. Such great memories with this game

[@koryjacques5811]

I LOVED this soundtrack and really appreciated being a kid and getting to see the little voice actors interviews you get to unlock. It was one of the first times I had seen into a game development process as a kid and it blew me away

[@brycestrife5605]

I LOVED this game. I'm one of those that believes this is the best snowboarding game because it's gameplay is so great level design is amazing and the music and feel of this game is unbeatable. Thanks Gerard! You've inspired me to either find my old copy or buy a new one and 100% this game again. My dad passed recently and when I played this it was in his house when I was a teenager. I would love to relive those memories.

[@darkadvent610]

People might be all over the main theme song (I mean, it is catchy), but I personally found Untracked to have a completely out-of-place and beautiful song that completely reflects the beauty of the track. I remember being in complete awe of it as a 7-year-old, and it was one of my first exposures to how beautiful videogame music can be. A shame that its so underrated. Great video as always, Jirard ^^

[@CoreyCat4]

I love your video, Jirard! The SSX series was my childhood! If I had to nitpick (nothing serious, no worries!), (1) the footage of the freestyle and BX boards as you explained the board types were swapped, and (2) Tricky included special features known as "DVD Content" that gave players an inside look at every aspect of the game's development, as well as interviews of the voice cast.

I hope he does something BIG though I personally want him to complete Dark Souls for New Game + right before or after the 400th as that game needs a NG+ and it was a special episode originally (maybe a two parter with DS and something else like the original DS episode for 100,000 subs)

[@doutchebags]

Ah yes, SSX Tricky. One of my first GameCube games, and my first ever snowboarding game (not counting the PS1 demo discs I had because they were just demos). So many fond memories of this game. Unlocking Untracked and Pipedream were fun little surprises that I didn't expect at the time, and the precision of pulling off a specific trick always felt rewarding once you pulled it off.

[@sadshyguygaming125]

You know I have not played this game in probably over a decade. I loved this game so much. I am pretty sure I've unlocked everything back in the day. I usually replay or revisit most of my games from time to time but this is one I have not touched for a long time. And I believe it deserves a revisit. Thank you for reminding me that this game exist. Luckily for me I keep almost all of my games so it's just a matter of putting the disc into the GameCube. I am sure there are lots of viewers who like me want to revisit this game after watching your video but unfortunately for them they don't have a copy of the game laying around.

I was eight years old when this game came out. I would play this game countless times on my GameCube to get all the gold medals as Elise and Brodi, my two favourite characters. The controls were tight, the tracks were visually appealing and well-designed, the soundtrack was nicely varied and the characters were fun to play as. It was one of my all-time favourite sports games alongside Mario Kart, Wii Sports and Need for Speed.

Bif Naked, too. The game has such a great cast. Like you, I wish Jirard had mentioned this in the video... he lists just two actors in the video description, but that's not quite enough. I recall their inclusion in the game was a pretty big deal for the time, and I'm sure it was a big factor in Jirard's enjoyment of the rivalry and cutscenes.

[@The3ddfan]

I never knew those were the words. Was introduced to the game at the after-school program I was part of. Tricky dominated Playstation time. One day, I found the Gamecube version in a bargain bin at Gamestop, and I didn't hesitate. My best friend and I still play. Always fun to talk trash to almost every character, including the Rahzel as if they can hear us. Even my main, Mac isn't spared.

[@UltimateGamerCC]

FF7 was my first and my favorite by far, that being said i had a fun time with 8, even if Squall was a bit needlessly broody, i mean Cloud had a big excuse for being emo considering all he went through, losing his mom, losing his hometown, betrayed by his childhood hero and a friend literally sacrificing himself to save him, which is all before the events of FF7 itself.
