Wendy’s Snowboard Knuckle Huck: HIGHLIGHTS | X Games Aspen 2022

[@chandir7752]

whenever zeb powell does a trick it looks like hes just making some random moves and then trying to not crash hahaha and I love it my goodness he's so good and he's got those intuitive moves it's literally freestyle and it's so good

[@vladp089]

He's button smashing and it just works

[@chandir7752]

@@vladp089 exactly haha

[@kappa9690]

I'm always worried about his spine :D the man's spine does a 720 itself

[@key6723]

Right people call it sloppy but it’s because like you said it’s intuitive, the other guys are mostly doing moves they’ve done so many times they have the muscle memory and the reps to make it look smooth or perfect, the “sloppiness” just proves it’s not a scripted freestyle

[@apathy11303]

I agree. I love how authentic it looks. It's like watching someone land something for the first time

[@pampofski8751]

Dusty’s double front flip was the pinnacle of this event

[@BamSandle]

Dude Zeb looks like he's having such a good time out there. Unbelievably creative, and so skilled

[@SleekEaZy1]

Marcus Cleveland’s cab double 7’s were incredible

[@Jackson-fq7qw]

idk i still think Zeb should've at least podiumed. You can't put every run of his on highlights but not have him at least top 3

[@dylanelazegui2963]

he skipped a run so that definitely had to do something with it

Best comp in x games! So incredible and mindblowing. I love it’s not spin to win, it’s real snowboarding.

[@sammobamm0]

judges must've forgot what event they were judging this year. They just gave the top spots to the most complicated tricks, instead of style, which is what knucklehuck is actually about

[@dlife7427]

@UCb5D1GAE84p21abegRIvuVg I've been watching snowboarding for three decades. I also believe Marcus deserved too win.

[@janicekapcsos8965]

Every competition is about the most complicated and difficult trick

[@christophermurray6973]

4 of Zeb's runs are in the highlights, but he doesn't podium. This is knuck huck. Not superpipe.

[@Chop_Suey]

Marcus is just effortless and very skilful but Zeb should have been on the podium as well

[@akkadiansprayart]

These are tricks use To do playing ssx snowboarding lol epic! Zeb is an animal

[@ncncam23]

Can they put this in the Olympics. I just saw this for the first time and I freaking love the knuckle huck.

[@albinliungman1093]

Feels like there’s some controversy going around with the results. While I do think and I think Marcus does too(hence why he was so surprised when he won) that zeb should have been on the podium or even at the top, doing the butters mid spin the way marcus does is insanely difficult and requires insane skill. no one else can do it but he’s so good at it that it looks effortless giving the impression that it’s easy. Yes I love the creativity and madness zeb brings and I think personally that’s what should be given the high scores in Knuckle huck, but it’s a hard call comparing mad tricks and super difficult ones. Stoked on this competition though and it’s always a joy to watch

[@R_O_S]

tf you talking about creativity, 4 of the 5 tricks were identical to his runs last year

[@albinliungman1093]

@@R_O_S ya I did notice that and did find it a bit disappointing actually, Marcus had similar aspects but brought some new tricks so I guess that gave him an advantage. Dusty also had similar tricks but obviously amped up to a dub front flip of the tail. Fridge tho probably had the most unique set of tricks.

[@charliewernette]

I'm mostly amazed with the amount of pop they are getting from just board flex, I expect to see this transition into big air which would be even crazier.

[@Caseycallender]

Zeb Powell is fuckin sick. My new favorite knuckle hucker

[@MrSwaggernaut83]

If anyone is wondering, Zebs long board is a 204 or 205. Had the pleasure to talk to the Burton employees making it at the factory, saw it before it was even done! Super sick to see it in comp as they promised

[@HokiePitcher22]

This is the best competition of the xgames. So glad they kept doing it

[@cambauer2]

[@dylanelazegui2963]

him missing a run really docked him some points

[@VinCrudo]

@@dylanelazegui2963 there are no points, it’s “overall impression”. Which is why it’s crazy to me the guy using other riders as rails, double shifty buttering, and switching to a massive swallowtail and bucking a coffin backflip method didn’t have the best “overall impression” on the judges. Like the event is about creativity and fun and I feel like the dude making it the most entertaining got the shortest end of the stick

[@nick_h143]

@@VinCrudo also….marcus is up there going crazy but i’m getting tired of him just spinning as much as he can, there’s not much “knuckle huck” energy to his runs, zeb embodied that and got robbed

dunno, don't like his style, it never looks clean or effortless, this's more like skate punk to me

[@MountainMitchYT]

I mean yeah maybe Zeb got a LITTLE more sloppy than usual but look at the way he made every run so creative: using props, using a huge CLASSIC old snowboard, like bro

[@HowardWimshurst]

So glad Marcus Kleveland won gold. I personally feel like he deserved it in 2020 as well

[@timhamock2996]

The double front flip and the cab 720 to 720 were hands down the best tricks

[@Henrik.Yngvesson]

Hope we get to see more like this, it's so much more fun and interesting than the usual pipe and bigair spin to win stuff. I really hope we get some small size slope style as well with more focus on smaller but more creative and stylish tricks. Maybe even have a spin limit like not more than 720°.

[@mangomariel]

spin limit would be so good in slopestyle. Like you say 720 and double flips max.

Marcus klevland is so close to a 3 peat in this event for gold. One more gold and he’s got it!
