Mikkel Bang is such a class act! I love how he always celebrates his components victories and he's always so positive and seems like such a genuine dude

[@parkjoe1]

Thank you NST for another year of amazing experiences and riding.
P.S. MIKKEL💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥

[@cws_dp]

thank you T. Ricky and NST and the sponsors and all the riders! this is what snowboarding needs. We need more of this programming and less of that BS X-Games tried for force feed us earlier this year. Keep it up. Amazing events, look forward to them every year!

[@Clarke1982]

I feel Mikkel shold have taken it. Cleaner run and the bs 1 was big and stomped. Line choice not so interesting as Travis but overall a more complete run.

[@joshvaldez192]

This type of riding is so savage. It brings tears to my eyes of course beautiful glorious happy tears but these riders are the best athletes in the world and so humble and kind. This is the best way to end a long day. Keep shredding tough and loving smooth. Namaste

[@BarbaraSchlegel-rm2oe]

I think it's awesome that all the people in this competition can compete with such confidence and skill . God bless every single one of you , you all are absolutely wonderful !

[@djfootfoot]

This is the first time I don’t think T Rice should have won.

[@ibexlodge213]

Spoiler alert

[@iluvrocknrap]

God this is soo fuxking sick. I can't get enough of these natural selections

[@noelmoore9838]

Coolest event in the history of sports. Big ups and much respect to the NST team & riders. Pumped for next season!

[@Tom_Emody]

If losing means cracking a beer with a good friend, in a breathtaking place like that….there is no losing!
It’s all a win….

[@henrysmalley6084]

I learned to ski in Alaska and it’s definitely not easy to regain control when throwing something big. Major respect for these athletes skill

[@Butzemann123]

1:33:20 *makes literal dying noises*
1:33:42 "alright"😎

[@jamescorbett5729]

Watching this it’s easy to think that the runs are boring and they are not doing much. But the snow, gradient, size makes just getting down a massive challenge. It’s amazing that the riders can get any spins in.

[@porter4817]

Hailey Langland aka hailey longo ! She sent that second wind lip like a boss 💯 . Super grateful T Rice is ok that crash was tough !

[@zackklapman3569]

Loved the changing faces for each round. That was such a cool change.

[@morgannowlen8375]

900 likes... at least they got 1.5M... I totally dig the intro production... i think that'd work well with building the audience.

[@bartez8018]

How many years of learning/practising snowboarding do I need to join natural selection tour?

[@aidanfrancis5187]

Those drone shots done that some justice wow amazing

[@northswole]

When Travis tomahawked…just realized he clipped a rock on the landing @29:50

[@RecoveredRidleyTruther]

This is the best idea ever . Watch it high 😂

[@jeremypenberg]

Travis can be a better sportman.. show your homies the love they’re showing you😩

[@wigg3k]

I think travis was more frustrated at himself -- you could see it all day

[@ellstackeradventures]

Yessss

[@user-pw4ts6qz6y]

How did Travis even pass quarter finals? He slid down on his but the whole second run and he still passes through with a 55? I don’t understand the scoring…

[@petermiranda6939]

1:33:00 Reeeesssssppppeeeecccctttt the Grape Lady

[@mysterje]

Much appreciate everything NST !

[@bob6693]

Thought the riding was great but the commentary was super dull.

[@riedwaanwillenberg4028]

Was waiting 4 this

[@thed.z.a.4658]

THAT BACK 3!!!!!

[@deniscarvalho7386]

Top demais CHOU 👍🤝

[@wigg3k]

I loved the ladies' lines in the finals -- better than the guys' lines imo

[@patrickmosch2496]

Make a superevent with the riders of fwt and snt!

[@SoundOfSleepMusic]

What jacket is cicarelli wearing at 36:34?

[@atb1332]

44:05

[@danielturczyn6773]

hailey langland was probably the most fun to watch of anyone

[@wigg3k]

what board was travis on?

[@michalmrazek7911]

Mikkel is winner. Travis tomahawked in both finals runs. Poor judging.

[@ShortniteClips]

Please Use Time Stamps next time

[@jamescorbett5729]

Zoi could compete against the men. She wouldn't win but none of those other girls are going to beat her.

[@CoachPOTG]

I don't understand what's the point of this game mode? how are they scored

[@Andynonymous_music]

First group of announcers was way more fun

[@meganJones-cw8oc]

hailey langland was I think the best women's rider. The fact that Zoi only won by one point in the finals was a joke to me she was so much better than Eliana. I think she knows some judges

[@montylivi]

Get Cody Bramwell on the tour!

[@slimecoast2coast]

Give me mikkel or give me death

[@spajda02]

Now i am team Hailey...

[@josiahromein9976]

Ed bro….. respect please stop talking

[@cylentship1532]

Could Todd be anymore incredulous?

[@ezt1085]

Langland was robbed.

[@carstenb23]

Trav deserved this win
