Definitely not a quad. The third cork didn’t really happen where it was supposed to.

Here's each run score breakdown. Sick to see 6 runs total

http://www.xgames.com/xgames/events/2022/aspen/results/32480027/mens_ski_big_air

Matej scored 48 twice but I think they were too similar to be scored as 2 different tricks. Otherwise he woulda had a 96 overall and won it

I didn’t realize a triple 1980 and a nose butter dub 1980 were the same type of trick

Yup. I think a dub 19 and a dub 21 are more similar as tricks than trip 19 and nb dub 19.

DrailEven isn't feeling it tonight obviously and I really hope he just calls it before he does something bad.

Although, if he calms down and proves me wrong that'd be amazing but I'm not sure if I can watch.


Feel bad for him as he is probably quite shook after his last bail - I really hope he isn't injured, let alone having to clear his mind so he is focused for slope tomorrow. But as long as he didn't hurt himself, I have some proper respect for him to step down from the rest of the comp tonight. Sometimes you just gotta fold em.

ReturnToMonkeyAndri didn't land anything because his skis are too short


Has he landed a switch trip misty in comp before? I can't remember. wished he did land it.

Err... I mean: robots are bad, short skis, lame, etc.

They look like they have regressed from last year sadly. Last year there were four dudes dropping quads, almost all had an 1800 of some sort.

They're gonna have to make some rule changes. Idk what but you need a way to distinguish between what's a similar trick and what's not.

Yeah to go back for more after that first hit is wild to begin with. Then he gets rekt on the second one. I'd have been out after the first one.

For sure dude. I’m not saying he wasn’t scored unfairly, but the robbery wasn’t from his “quad”, it was from his nb trip 19 exactly as you said. Only reason I agree with Ahall on top is because of worlds first bias but other than that I personally had a wildly different 2 and 3 than the judges. I don’t really mind tho, it was an insane contest and so much consistency from the athletes. Very pleased with everything but the judging, but what’s x games without questionable judging anyways lol

For sure, Double vs triple is way more significant than adding a 180. That ruling makes no sense IMO

It's pretty clear The Fish is onto something. A Hall crushed, but it looks like Matej prolly should have won. Or did win?

Its because its the same position he would be in anyway if he twisted and tucked his arms in like a figure skater. He just slips his ski in there and calls it innovative and technical

If you look carefully, the landing was bombed out in the middle. A few guys stuck landings and then went head over heels. Parrot realized he needed to send it to the right to avoid the bomb holes. I think it was holding the snowboarders back a bit. I think it was a super poppy jump too and it was throwing skiers and snowboarders off alike

It’s supposed to be, they’re scrambling a bit this year since XGames isn’t planned. Also being non profit means they can’t afford to be organized and have a functional website.

Someone look me in the face tell me that Andri Ragettli outskied Max Moffat today. LOL.

Max out there skiing in cursive looking flawless, flowy and effortless with creativity and a unique line and crazy trick selection.


Andri out there like he’s counting the “and, 1 2 3 4” beat in his head trying to do a goddamn 2 step.
