I'm super stoked for the SLVSH matchups they're doing Friday but that wasn't an option on your poll.

Oh shit I didn't even notice that. I thought it was just gonna be the final game that they've been uploading this week. A live version should be interesting

X games is in my opinion the most well rounded event in freestyle skiing today. Not just because they have snowboarding lets ignore that but just because of how they reward creativity and style way better than any world cup does, and how many cool events they have. I feel like riders in x games can do what they want, causing the sport to be pushed in the right direction (quad 2160 = no, dub griselda = yes)

Can you replay on there? I work nights but always trying to catch the xgames.

Or will they upload to youtube after like usual?

Only shitty thing is they also post gold silver bronze spoilers along with it. But I enjoy watching. I actually haven't even seen the full course this year.

Curious what a live slvsh game would look like. I’m sure it’ll feel like a more interesting rail jam

Pretty disappointed in how unpopular the superpipe option in the poll was. I love watching pros in a pipe it's more insane to me than anything else

On the YouTube stream they mentioned probably no matej in big air and did not elaborate at all

He’s not the big air roster now, still on knuckle huck though

I've been waiting for Matej in big air, such a disappointment but that's the way it goes.

Why tf were there dubs being thrown in the style round, pretty much given that ya need to do something out of the ordinary.

Thinking the same thing although I’m a bit underwhelmed with a lot of what’s happening compared to other years. But some of these stomped unique tricks are getting brutalized on the scores

Not the most exciting big air, but nice to see the style aspect being more evident. Troy seems like a real peach of a person.

Big air was seriously lacking without folks like Henrik, Matej, Edjoy etc. switch Tail butters were arguably the most standout but didn’t seem to hold the weight that nose butters did in previous years
