This event is losing a little bit of its spirit every year. The one footed miller flip is such a great example. No reward for that creativity really even though it's clearly a fan favorite. The heart of this event is the fans, and I think we're starting to feel a bit of a disconnect.

Go ride down a mountain at 25-30mph with ONE foot in ur binding, then while maintaining that speed with one foot (mind you, if you slip off at that speed say goodbye to your groin and possibly your ACL/MCL and knee socket) fly off the knuckle and do a tweaked 1 footed backflip that looked like it was literally a copy and paste from SSX video game. Go KZbin that trick and see how many results come up, go KZbin some spins and rotation and see how many come up. KNUCKLE HUCK IS ABOUT CREATIVITY AND THERES NOTHING MORE CREATIVE THAN A NBD TRICK. 🤡 judges 🤡 event now.

@@IDADDYIproductions ahh yes, because marcus doing 720s into a manual into a cork is definitely not creative and stylish, right. just because something has a bunch of spins (and increased difficulty) doesnt mean its lacking style, but if all it is is a whole bunch of spins by using the knuckle as a jump, and not as a knuckle the way its supposed to be used, then yea, i agree. while sure zebs trick are creative, at times they arent exactly...the most stylish, by any stretch of margin, as he has a very sketchy riding style. it sort of looks like he has no control, even when he actually is in full control, which isnt a good thing when were talking a competition based on style.
