Zeb embodies the true soul of snowboarding which imho is creativity and expression. The judges unfortunately have no clue to how to score something they've never seen before. Respect to Markus, he's a favorite as well but Zeb is expanding snowboarding in an amazing way. Also Dusty's double front flip was so sick!

[@BIGTEN406]

i will tell ya dusty did good

[@alton020]

He embodies the souls and the utterly bodied the competition. Seems like they set awards based on the finals runs. Sad sad sad. 🤦🏾‍♂️

[@Cblizy]

I thought zeb should podiumed too but using another snowboarder as a feature it is awesome but you cant really count that run.

[@nickschuman4652]

I’m convinced knuckle huck is strictly fan service bc this event is so fun to watch and it really looks like these boys are having the time of their lives

[@unfinishedsenten]

it's like that guy said, everyone had a knuckle in their snowboarding place. Everyone at least did a extra high jump with/over it or a 180 when they were younger/learning to snowboard.. So everyone can kinda relate to the bouncy feeling, and it kinda brings you back. I think that might have something to do with it. I used to love spinning on those things!

[@XadjustmentX]

you honestly like this boring event? jesus i feel bad for you if this is what you find entertaining lol this is the most boring thing ive ever watched at xgames. then again xgames itself is completely terrible nowadays anyway. theres no snowmobile events anymore. they dont have/show qualifying rounds anymore. theres no scores after each run, they just move names around a scoreboard. wheres the excitement in that? its no wonder the xgames is practically dead these days

[@eddiek6390]

Why? He has the strangest style. It looks Un smooth, stuttery, stressed and pushed, not effortless and fun

[@minecraftgod12]

@@UnknownEntity334 you’re telling me when you see zeb you think of un smooth and not fun?

[@Exata1337]

@@minecraftgod12 wouldnt say his runs arent "fun" or "creative", as hes definitely one of the most creative when it comes to this, and that alone adds a fun factor to his runs. however.... smooth? no. no way, not even close. all his runs he looks as if he woke up mid air from a bad dream, and his landings are sketchy in all but maybe one of these runs, yet again. was the same deal last competition too, he never really appears as if hes fully in control if you compare it to the other medalists.

[@GabiGulost]

Yeah Zeb shoud've gotten top 3 atleast. Like, I know he skipped a whole run to switch boards, but cmon.. Zeb killed that! AMAZING event though! Everyone shredded it Kleveland is INSANE🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@PsykeShow]

He must've been 3rd up until Dusty landed the double in his last run for sure. I don't know how they're ranking it, but if it's style points out of 30 or more, a run not ridden is a big toll on the overall scoreboard as it's not best run, but overall impressions. Kleveland is just a beast though, he just makes it happen. Super fun event to watch!

[@waltzway5690]

Zeb is my fave snowboarder

[@inFAMOUSBeatsGFx]

Marcus is too good for his own good... he makes insane tricks look so effortless that people actually get fooled into thinking it must not have been hard at all...

The needs to be a comp that’s 100% judged on: -Hype/Energy -Style/Excision -Creativity/Innovation (Cuz like back in the days of any trick sport, the people who do a trick for the first time ever never get rewarded because it’s hard to judge I guess or it doesn’t count as a “trick” lol BUT I WANNA SEE DUDES PUSHIN THE LIMITS OF SPORTS [beyond technical difficulty/rotations/“perfection” xgames…. XtremeGames should be about XtremeFUN

[@doozy1776]

how on earth did zeb not get a single placement?? like what??

Too be fair Zebb stole 1st place from Marcus back in 2020 because the political narrative called for it.

[@mammutpenthouse]

Klevelands timing is just so insane, not sure if people understand how difficult it is to butter mid spin!!!

[@ShredddT]

Oh I get it, but those big (not so stylish imo) spins are for the big air and slope (lack of) style. But you can’t deny the creativity of zeb. He got boned at dew tour too in the street style comp.

[@TronBons]

Seriously..that was ridiculous...

[@bordridr]

I'm a Fridge fan but I think Zeb deserved to be on the podium with Marcus and Dusty.

[@inkosi7679]

[@ShredddT]

I feel you, fridge threw down. That edge catch rodeo was bonkers.

[@rupman27isback]

Zeb was robbed. He could of easily won or at least been on the podium.

[@thatkidracing3188]

I feel this year they didnt focus as much on creativity, the "best" trick isnt always the most exciting to watch and thats why the knuckle huck has done so good. If they start trying to go off of competition "best" people like zeb and fridge are gonna be robbed of that podium finish and more than likely this too will turn into another spinning contest and lose its allure

[@bimegge]

Yes I totally agree

I’m a monster Marcus fan, but I gotta be honest, Zeb shoulda won this one. Zeb Marcus Dusty There’s my personal pick.

[@TheTwistedMystic]

Why? Because the crowd's cheering for him? The crowd cheers for who you tell them to cheer for, you included. Go back and watch Marcus's winning run and tell me there was a better trick on display that night. There wasn't. Judges knew it too, and the judges are all professional snowboarders themselves.

[@Indarow]

@@TheTwistedMystic because it’s called personal opinion and my opinion matters just as little as yours does. I’d like to add that I was actually there, and no, they don’t tell the crowd who to cheer for.

How do they score this event? Dusty had best trick, and Zeb is still most knuckle huck. Kleveland was the safe Gold it seems. Great event but, fill us in.

[@sevatheimdal]

[@EclecticWizard6]

I would love to see another contest like this where its just one simple object or rail where the riders have to come up with the most creative trick they can on a simple set up.

[@jimmysmith6047]

They all did great and nobody got hurt....

[@evor6s]

I find it hard to really say who I personally think deserves what for this. Each and every person just throwing their imagination to the wind and going with it, they're all so worthy of gold. Be it Marcus' insanely clean, precise and downright ridiculously impressive tricks and Zeb's inhuman ability to just seemingly warp gravity around him to throw together some of the most ludicrous, physics defying and creative tricks out there that I have ever seen just makes the knuckle huck comp so much harder to judge whilst never getting stale. It's creative freestyle snowboarding at its finest in my honest opinion.

[@203saunders]

Zeb is the goat! On another level

[@facebookreal]

In 2020 I didn't think Zeb deserved the W, however this year he 100% did. Everyone else was miles worse than him this year, including Marcus Kleveland who did the same trick every round which was impressive but not creative or "knucklehuck-esque" at all. What I mean by that is it wasn't "cool" just textbook. And what the heck he didn't even get top 3? Dusty only had a good last run, and the guy in second idek what he did. Messed up. Plz bring back points and proper rankings nobody ever wanted this format

[@In_my_own_mind]

No he didnt do the same every round. In your opinion someone doing easier tricks should win? Kleveland does everything with ease. He has so much control that it looks easy.
