Men’s Snowboard Big Air: FULL COMPETITION | X Games Aspen 2022

[@nevillelongbottom1238]

Riders get up to 1980 these days. Meanwhile xgames broadcast can't get over 720.

[@zn9861]

Hahaha so true

[@snugidugi210]

hahahahahahahahaah

[@oskutuominen1844]

A rider.

[@stevensanchez4687]

Rene shouldve gotten a higher score on his first run. The judges downgraded it just cuz it was the first one to set the standard smh

[@oteiri78]

Yes!! A way better. He should've won.

[@michaelflowers1996]

For real! How does a clean 1800 outscore a clean 1980?

[@sighndlease]

100% guarentee if rene didnt go first he would have won. kinda lame actually. dude lands a 1980 and gets a 41.... it really shows that in contests like this whether its skateboarding or snowboarding, judges dont want to give out a big score right off the bat. it shouldnt be like that though, its certainly not fair. other than that great show though. all those dudes are so sick

[@buildinghome175]

Rene looks like a suburban dad who just finished mowing his lawn and is ready to kick off his new balances and watch some law and order. I love it 🤟🏽

[@Jerrysprayer]

Not to argue but i disagree, he looks like the guy that is the life of the party on and off the board. I wanna have a drink with rene lol

[@bryceerickson6096]

What a stud!

[@buildinghome175]

@@Jerrysprayer I agree! Rene is the snowboarder’s snowboarder! There is no one better as the current and future face of snowboarding.

[@nigahiga878]

i understand we're huckin 19s these days, and i love it. but mark's "ABORT ROTATION" move at 41:50 was the most impressive feat of air awareness of the night IMO

[@ryderhard]

that was so impressive.. to understand what you have to do to not wreck doing a quad 1800 when u miss a grab.. I know nothing about that but I respect it

[@skaight9]

Unreal

[@bakedbeings]

Yeah the diff between excitement and competition scoring. Boarder go brr get points!

[@jackspinner4727]

And it somehow looked cooler. The change of pace and different body angle just looked awsomw

[@MisterChenzy]

I guess his extreme unreal crazy legendary crashes are the main reason for this air awareness :D it's also really annoying how deep the family of McLoerres got into the actual BUSINESS, they are monetizing every fart out of their son M. and honestly, if you dealt with humans on any professional level you get the impression the dude got some sort of Asperger or Autism which isn't a bad thing it's just hard to watch if you are looking for the entertainment factor of these sports. He might also just be like that when he's on air or something or actually I got the feeling that he got more down-to-earth over the last years maybe he's just growing up or something. Personally I got no hate for the guy but I can't say I would miss him in any event since he's everywhere. And WHEN he misses an event, they show some footage of his new snowboard movie (whatever a snowboard movie is suppossed to be) or he's part of the presenter team or they show his crash or his highlights or his recovery or him taking a dump. He might be a great athlete but he's also one of the main reasons why professional Snowboarding lost its whole magic and mojo and creativity and instead was all about adding another spin or cork or brezel and basically everybody trying the same tricks over and over. I know it's not easy to do this, but Snowboarding just lost it's spirit and soul due to this development

[@FreckyB]

So crazy that a triple cork gets scored 20. Seems like yesterday Torstein was blowing minds with triple corks.

[@Kyeboards]

The progression in men's snowboarding/ skiing has been insane the past 5 years. Even after people say we've done it all, these guys always seem to show us otherwise

[@smokeytheangler8387]

All those guys are on a video talking about the progression of the tricks. They all are so humble... All said it will only be time till someone else does the un thinkable

[@PlaySA]

I didn't agree that Max Parrot's literally perfect triple 16 got a 34 where Kleveland's 1800 with two hands down hard got 36. You gotta reward perfect execution/landing better than that.

[@RobAlpacaflip]

Rinnekangas was robbed

[@CrossmoorMafia]

41 for a very clean 1980 doesn't make any sense indeed

[@davidscb3632]

Cancer gives you extra points

[@CrossmoorMafia]

@@davidscb3632 max's last deserved 41, it's just that rene's first deserved more than that

[@Jukuu]

agreed. spinning 2 directions when marcus did same spin pretty much on both tricks. rene should have gotten 1st

[@TheRakanow]

Nah men first of Rinnekasgas was beter, but 4th run of Marcus he stomped it. It was either him or Max Parrot without a doubt.

[@slugerknot]

It's just a spinning fest, this is why the Knuckle Huck is far superior and entertaining.

Big up Rene, progressing the sport in style!

[@oteiri78]

He's the true winner of this contest.

[@PlaySA]

@@oteiri78 No CORKS. Seriously the flat spin is a lot easier, yeah he packed in a lot of rotations but the judges love those corks, they want to see spins WITH flips

Rene seems to get underscored in a lot of competitions, which is a shame because he’s the coolest guy out there. I’m from the US but Rene is the only rider that makes me smile after every run.

[@anonymouspersonskissnowboa6678]

If it was quad and corked then yeah. Otherwise a quad cork 18 will beat a flat 19

[@j.s.6080]

Marcus' and Max' stomps were cleaner.

[@parker298]

Right spinning flat is harder for most people too

probably because of the flat spins

[@andvig1]

The shots of the audience screaming on command is gross. These athletes are insane tho, taking it to new unthinkable dimensions year after year

[@TheRealTomSelleck]

With all the 1800s and 1980s that big backside 180 was actually really stylish and refreshing to see.

[@oteiri78]

Rinnekangas does first 1980 ever and does that perfectly! Why did he get only 41? Come on judges!! He's doing impossible! I hate that.

[@schmidy0677]

U can see on the landing 5:46 he doesnt rotate a full 1980 in the air so just a minor issue there which is why he didn't get a higher score

[@oteiri78]

@@schmidy0677 That was so minor that it should've still got him more points. That trick is so hard to land that no one hasn't yet landed it. These contests should encourage competitors to do hard trick. That kind of turn back doesn't inspire anybody. Marcus also tried to land 1980 many times. He couldn't. It's so hard. Still he won?

[@sighndlease]

@@schmidy0677 if youre referring to that last 90 degrees that he drags, idk how you can ask for anything more. no one has ever landed a 1980 on film. its not like he landed and then reverted back out, he had the full rotation just had to pull it around in the end. as you see he rides away literally perfect. maybe give him a 48? 47? i meant were talking about a 1980.. to give a 41 on that is complete bullshit and i think if you were to ask the judges they would 10000% admit that they judged him lower because he was the very first rider. if you watch other skateboarding/snowboarding contests like this you would have seen it before. very common to give lower scores to leave room for tricks in later runs. sad really

[@anonymouspersonskissnowboa6678]

@@oteiri78 lol what? Marcus was actually trying a quad cork 19 not a flat spin. Different level. A quad cork is way harder than flat.

[@jordanlarson6488]

Rene stomping a flat spin 19 should've been scored higher. I honestly don't have any idea how you can land that without reverting.

[@dreadsanddirt5966]

I don't know, man. Maybe it's my age and maybe I'm gatekeeping a little, but I sincerely feel like this was just....boring. Back in the day (and yeah, every old fart statement starts with that. LOL) guys like Damian Sanders (and that whole generation of rider) had such style and they were all unique. This looked, from a spectator's perspective, like a bunch of dudes going for the same trick. I lost interest in snowboarding when it got to be "he who can out spin the other guy". As a guy who hiked up Stratton's half pipe plenty of times I was in it from the beginning and got to see Sanders' iguana flip in person. I used to watch contests and think "HOLY SH*T!!". Watching this all I really think is "eh. What else is on?". Of course much respect to the riders but I stand by my take that it's boring to watch.

[@SeethingSimp]

I wonder if I'd be allowed to fly off of that ramp if I excitedly shook my head no when asked if I've had any training

[@nickconley4098]

0 flavor left in big air literally boring to watch. 30 comments on an xgames video says it all.

[@HeroOfTime1230]

*spoiler* big respect to kleveland for going yard on his last run even after he secured the W 👍👍👍

[@Edgesundermined]

McMorris’ quad court is very flippy… but you can see the bias nature of his brother when Kleveland does a perfect backside quad cork 1800 and he calls it “flat” haha

[@TheTwistedMystic]

[@TatsuM]

as if max parrot got 41 in that final jump....

[@ludoviclachapelle9176]

Frontside rotation gets more point thats all

[@TheRakanow]

Max Parrot maybe should have gone higher

[@SQUIRTGANG]

Freestyle Snowboarding and skiing are honestly two of the most boring winter sports to watch, it’s just one person after another doing spins, is this because they’re catering to judges all the time? Or is everyone just really lacking creativity? I ask this as someone who has been a skateboarder for over 20 years, so it’s not just me hating on extreme sports.

[@jed666666]

Anyone remember 1080 snowboarding on the n64, back when that was the wild video game style trick. This is getting wild.

[@dad3985]

On a snowboard how do they differentiate between switch and cab. Do they actually pop of their tail while riding fakie?

[@Jukuu]

Just like in skateboarding, cab is switch frontside. Named after Steve Caballero, who made switch 360 a thing and therefore switch frontside spins got named after him = cab. On a skateboard cab is also switch frontside spin and you pop from switch tail. Fakie doesn't really exist in snowboarding, sometimes people however call some landings (i.e in quarterpipe) to fakie though.
