I like that format though, cause technically it's Big Air not Best Trick so it takes more than 1 crazy trick to win it.

[@canuckdude22]

fun fact, I was thinking about this and then they brought it up on the broadcast around 24:40: SSX Tricky only supported up to 3 inversions and 1800 degree rotations; anything bigger than that would be displayed as "???". So yeah, that insane over-the-top arcadey snowboarding game wouldn't even be able to comprehend what was thrown down last night.

[@DanielHatchman]

Style free? Idk those were pretty stylish to me. I mean not like tweaked out or long grabs or whatever. But you do that many spins and land that clean, it's going to look sick.

[@Tjkrusinski]

Low key, there should be the alt-Big Air with a max spin limit at 900. Style rather than huck wins.

I thought Yuki would have brought out the bs quad 1980. We know he has it but I guess he was not feelin it.

I think his 1800 was too hardcore spin to win (the grab and rotating). It was really sick but a bit like ballerina. Just my opinion.

You have to count style as well, Chris 1800 was sick, but little less stylish with that tailgrab

Fantastic. Best Big Air in years. Well judged and well deserved (although I think Corning's tail grabs were a bit underscored).

[@Nick-eu5lr]

Corning's Tailgrabs looks soo good and I really like them because they look different then the rest, but he always releases then quite early and that's probably the reason why they aren't scored that good

[@jakobwictoren]

@@Nick-eu5lr @jrbaconcheez what Ive heard (and agree on) most pro sees his tailgrabs as a big no-no (like grabbing tindy), since its very ballerinalike nature. Grabbing it like Mons Roisland on the other hand, is very appreciated.

I feel like we need more Halldor Helgasons in those events, so that it will become more of a style competition rather than just who can make the most rotations.

he´s just not that into this, understandably

[@jeppej4265]

I would like a comp where 900 is max. It would make it more about style than who can spin the most... This is impressing dont get me wrong but in my books slow back 180 is one of the coolest tricks =)

[@Hinahou]

@@jeppej4265 Vans does the Hi-Standard event for this. Max spin is a 720, and no repeat tricks. But X Games is about progression tbf

[@jeppej4265]

@@Hinahou Thanks for the tip, I need to check that! Yeah, I understand the progression part and I'm enjoying this as well. At some point the more spinn/flips thing is just getting repetitive. I really enjoy the knuckle huck bringing the style part into the games as new addition.

[@Numm3r2]

@@jeppej4265 i understand why you would say that but that would probably slow down progression in snowboarding. Part of why snowboarding is so cool to me is that they always push themselves and each other. Im sure everyone where stoked to join the 18's club that night.

Flat 18s are easier than corked 18s. That’s why Marcus had higher scores, plus the indie grab, just more height, style and smoothness.

[@ausstn879]

@@23JMRH honestly man I get what your say but I believe a flat 1800 is harder because of how fast your spinning which makes it harder to land.

[@freshturns_snowboarding]

Corning deserved better scores but he's not a Red Bull athlete and is less popular than Kleveland so that's too bad. Had a harder grab in both his first 2 tricks and more style, less spin-to-win. Oh well, guess judging wasn't too serious with Mark and Darcy not there.
