The Final Slopestyle Battle of 2021! TOP 3 Runs at Crankworx Rotorua 2021

[@justkeepdigging1956]

Love the way Rogatkin doesn't try to beat Emil at the tech game and just goes ballistic with spins and weird stuff. If he had landed his second run it could have been oh so different. Great show guys!

[@phil_dubss8335]

This is why people get so hyped to see Nicholi’s runs. He’s a madman on a bike. How he doesn’t seem to get extremely dizzy after spinning round that many times that fast is just beyond me 🤣🤣

[@robbingle7575]

Comrade Nicholi with the best attitude ever. Dude crushes it on and off the bike.

[@amargnwalkr]

I love the camaraderie between these guys. It's like friends 1st, competitors 2nd.

[@RedBullBike]

just one lovely family

[@insanepolarbear]

I love how Nicholi is equally happy for everyone elses run as he is with his own.

[@gwilymthomas2955]

Nicholi Rogatkin always manages to surprise me every year💪🤙

[@gwilymthomas2955]

@frkmstr i have dementia I can’t remember the past runs😂

[@ninoesile5082]

@frkmstr And Emils’ aren’t? All he’s done since 2018 is just mix up 360, bars pins and tailwhips. Oppo vs reg. Gets pretty boring

[@frostbitepokin9520]

@frkmstr you say that like Emil hasn’t been doing the same runs lol.

[@thatguyfyn]

Rogatkin's second Run would've gone crazy

[@Dempsey222]

Those guys seem to root for each other and not be rooting for your opponent to fail like they do in other sports. They seem to have a brotherhood in Slopestyle.

[@fueledbycoffee1455]

Rogatkin is my favorite. Damn just total class. He got the first triple crown and actually like that series better

[@TheSilentTiger89]

I feel like i just watched a bunch of absolute warriors just slay tf out of that course and then celebrated like true kings! Congats boys!

[@RedBullBike]

that's how we do it 😎

[@eav2037]

Emil is a beast💪 and Rogatkin too🤟 So sick!

[@ridemotoeveryday]

This is why I love action sports. Everyone cheering eachother on, hoping they all crush their runs. No bitterness or chest pounding towards one another. Everyone is a winner at events like this, enjoying the life they get to live!

[@MsJPO]

Rogatkin best run!

[@jonny555ive]

I absolutely LOVE the camaraderie with all the riders. You can tell.... They want to win... But they want each other to win also..... They all are winners in my book. 🍻Cheers to you all🍻

[@rafmillerr]

Emil will always be my favourite even if he doesn't podium.❤‍🔥

[@notjacob923]

Rogatkin was on fire!

[@mrinferno4876]

Rogatkin win 🥇👆

[@kramnik666]

Nicholi Rogatkin - is what the dictionary will tell you when you look for the word "sportsmanship"

[@safesclart]

Rogatkin is such a cool chap.

[@redblanket5676]

Wow all were amazing 👏

[@freakout315]

Nikolais run looked way better for me than Emils run! Dont know how he didn't get 1st

[@cloudkap]

Nikolais has a 1 or 2D bag of tricks. And they are sick. But Emil has an unlimited bag, like flipped and reversed and it's insane as a biker to see him lace all those tricks up

[@cloudkap]

But at the same time, with like one different trick he could take the win. Love watching him ride

[@frostbitepokin9520]

All he does is Oppo tricks lol. Nicholi got robbed

[@jakeevans1129]

@@frostbitepokin9520 have you ever done something oppo its twice as hard. Emil beat Nicholi fair and square

[@sjkba]

@@jakeevans1129 To an untrained eye like mine Nikolai is way more appealing but I understand that's probably why I'm not a judge on these comps :D

[@stw5907]

I wanted to see that 3 unturndown from some other angles. love that move. seeing people do insane stuff on bikes is sick, theyre all winning when theyre hyping each other up like that.

[@BikeLifewithRob]

Sick runs

[@davidziemelis1593]

Personally not into slopestyle, but I can agree that this is hype

[@AbrahamBarberi]

These guys are insane! But what is more insane is the fact that they use bikes with no rear suspensions, 26’ wheels, and do some crazy jumps!

[@picsellestar3009]

Emil and Nicholi ❤❤

[@cheesepizza87]

The level of slope style is insane

[@ninoesile5082]

Just as the various 720/1080 based tricks are starting to see diminishing returns, I think the oppo tricks should as well. As great as emil's runs are they all look the same, just different variations of bars and tailwhips, rarely ever spinning past 360.

[@ageofempires619]

The problem is that, there's a couple riders who can hit 720 combos and 1080s now, but Emil is the only person who can do the opposite combos that he does. I think that's what separates them.

[@ninoesile5082]

Tailwhips in general are too highly scored. Bringers run was dope, but IMO wasn’t better than Nikolai’s. He just placed higher because of his tail whip drop.

[@frostbitepokin9520]

Agreed. Because of this, the riders are barely introducing new tricks to the game

[@rossfright9202]

Rogatkin always delivers, for me he knows that! Dunno how they score this!

[@noline1548]

Opposite tricks a very very hard, the judges are usually ex pro riders or ex- crankworx athletes, they know quite well how to score a run

[@reflextv2591]

Nicholi's run deserves 1st place

[@extirpatebabel]

Nicholi : people's champ!

[@makifrable]

Where is Cam?

[@redblanket5676]

How fun

[@lucahornung3757]

nice

[@-yayschmitty-8440]

Wait, just to clarify, Nicholi Rogatkin's first trick was a cashroll and not a cork, right? Cuz he did a backflip while spinning

[@kramnik666]

werent it a cork 720? hes travelling in his own axel - thats cork. but you might be rigth tho :)

[@hjalteholdgaard3814]

No first trick was a cork 7(360 flip) , a cashy is a 360 front flip

[@tomreichenbach6849]

Yeah 👍

[@jairomartins4581]

Caramba!!!!

[@SkarryTerry]

I’m sure MucOff is gonna have some sort of marketing for “Rids Grime, Dirt, Beer… etc”😂

[@johnsonjay60]

Knew emil would crush it

[@vladimirivanov6578]

Rogatkin is the real King.

[@endegutallesgute]

I thought Erik Fedko got 3rd? Did I miss something?

[@camcallis99]

rogation is my favorite mtb rider

[@marvsc6491]

I am with nicholai run

[@adesrimulyati5325]

👍👍👍👍

[@Ledzinskii]

Where is godziek

[@samuprogg]

Niceeee

[@SIMSNYC]

I really dont understand how emil beats rogatkin every time rogatkins tricks are soo much bigger and harder.

[@nickgiannopoulos8087]

no, no they arent

[@brunaogemeplay2439]

oppo shenanigans

[@pyrobavare]

Oppo Tricks and huge combinations vs. big Tricks with small combos

[@FinnholmF]

rogatkin dont do oppo 360 oppo double whip

[@SIMSNYC]

@@FinnholmF emil doesnt do twisters or cash rolls

[@bishalsunuwar6845]

Dammi

[@BREAKS24FM]

Николай сделал нам всем охуенно )))

[@CoreySchmick444]

I thought Rogatkin should have won!

[@mattwilson5092]

Could that announcer be any MORE monotone and boring??? The riding was phenomenal to watch, but I had to turn the volume down. He was taking away from how awesome it was.

[@nsk5491]

Что за судейство?!Рогаткин лучший,сложнейшие вращения

[@Eltoca21]

Ok so how many different trick names are there lol

[@junseodrtjmp6253]

😲

[@arushs121]

That one commentator.. so dull.

[@YOLOSWAG420_]

i really dont like how Emil wins everything purely by doing one trick both ways, no variation no risk, nothing huge, just a bunch of opposites and some style, feels like abusing the point system just to get a win. when i saw his run i thought, yea i'd give that 88, maybe 90, but 95.7 u gotta be kidding. top 2 and 3 runs were better, not to mention what Nikolai was doing in 2nd run.

[@frostbitepokin9520]

Agreed. I feel like opposite tricks are worth too many points especially for tail whips, everyone doing them now. I miss seeing new tricks brought into competition.

[@ricardoradkov9772]

It may look a bit boring yes but oppo trplie whip and oppo 360 oppo double whip are insanely hard tricks + 360 bar to down whip of the step down i think he deserve it

[@Dallehable]

You have to watch emil runs in slow-mo

[@goachingoulding3926]

satan kaiarngring

[@marley551]

I feel like Nicholi should have won that

[@Ryan_Burney]

is this the most bored announcer ever? "oppo 3... ugh... triple opp tail.... ugh.... "

[@therockdrummer7112]

First

[@S3T_10]

Bet you $5 you won’t pin this comment!

[@stevenroberts2490]

Should be thanking the Rotorua ratepayers that fund this to the tune of quarter mil a year for the benefit of a Hans full of people
