TVS definitely blew me away with his part! Some serious bangers! Kade Edwards or Mcduff were probably my 2nd favorite. But Dylan Stark also had some cool stunts. The other riders had some awesome stuff as well so props to everyone! It was cool to see the winner after seeing the videos a while ago.
hmmmm.... It is not an easy task to judge this accurately and everyone has their own preferences. But Dylan Stark's part was so fresh as he integrated his BMX skills extremely well into his MTB riding. He also took extreme risks (which of course everyone did), but the mix in his part is simply outstanding in my opinion. We have MTBers and BMXers here and effectively everyone saw Stark take gold by a large margin. Behind that it gets more nuanced, definitely, but 1st place belongs to Stark!
In my opinion the video parts should be longer 90 seconds isn’t enough to add multiple angles and creative shots the videos feel cramped. It would be better if they were 2:30-3:30 minute parts
I loved all of these with their own style and take on it! Dylan's long jump had me shttng my pants, Tom's style was like kung fu mid air, Mat's flip onto the crane with all the things that could go wrong with the rocks underneath him, Remy's thing fellt more like a chill old school art piece and Kade fellt like the wild card and I like how we got to see how much effort was put in and he really did ride hard with style. All in all I could not even atempt to judge this 🤣
Remy's part was the best as a mtb video imo. Not at all a competition run, but as a video part it gave me goosebumps and made me want to ride more than any of the other parts.
I think TVS deserved the W. Crazy tricks in a proper MTB setting. Dirt, rock, and wood terrain. Street elements are cool, but that’s urban riding. The judging criteria has to be crystal clear for riders/builders…
Agree with 90% I think what hurts his chances is there is no flow, a lot of his tricks landings hit hard and kind of flat. I am sure he blew a tire in a couple of his landings. Like Olympic diving it’s not just the trick it’s the take off, the divers form both during trick and landing, the spot during the dive that most divers get point reduction is the amount of splash when entering the water. It’s pretty much the same deal when judging videos of this caliber.
TVS cleary is the winner this year come on. Then Stark could have had the silver. This could well have been. Great riding and video from all these atheltes who make us dream and love MTB even more!
Amen to that he puts so much hard work and passion into whatever he’s riding shred the streets like a boss sends sketchy stuff that no one would attempt Takes huge slams multiple times and gets back up and has style that Armani would be proud of he may not have got the gold but he’s the People’s champion and always will be One day Dylan one day these bigwigs will see your talent for what it is and give you a gold.
@@MachuDidgeridoo I don’t deny his insanity either, that guy is on another level. But when we’re talking about “real mtb” Dylan’s part is as grassroots as it gets. No fancy builds. No airbag practice (like TVS) no hate on that but let’s just keep it REAL! Dylan’s crashes prove how much gnarlier his part was. He could have died like 3 times. While those other guys were dialing there tricks in with airbags, he was out puttin his life on the line for a majority of clips.
@@shane_ohara51 I think the issue is that there doesn’t seem to be any clear rules here. There’s a very large slope style + manicured jumps type of vibe on almost all of these which is weird. I was expecting actual MTB riding. Stark was good but I think he should’ve added more tricks, more MTB in the woods as well.
Dylan did crazy moves for sure, but his part seemed like a random compilation of very short clips. Prefered the more cineastic parts of TVS and Kade Edwards
I can't take the hosts they are so over the top happy and hyped. I don't know how many takes but I get the feeling the director just kept saying more energy, It would be so much better if they talked like real humans and not puppet happy gimmicks. Nicoli has so much experience he does need to add BS hype. Why your trying to make theses guys into bimbos I don't know. Theses are amazing athletes performing sears and dangerous stunts lets show them the respect and serious attitude they deserve. Te judges and riders are so much more honest and there for are way more cool and easy to listen too. I think they got the winner right though. The stunts and the video eddit blue the rest out of the game! You have to have both, great stunts and a great video and film eddit. Award goes to the team.
I dunno how old you are or if you've been riding a long time but if not the reason is because these sports have been heavily commercialised as time went on. There's barely any brands out there that are even worth supporting as they're only interested in growth. Riders just scream progression and "growing the sport" despite it being a negative in the long term. The old days of just going out and having fun, a laugh, and messing about are gone. The sports and riders/users have become so focussed on sensualising everything, just like the modern world it seems. Parents overly pressuring their kids into these sports and to do well, it's disgusting really.
@@drewcama2488 I was trying to address your point/ question about the over zealous hosts. In short, it wasn't always like this, and the commercialisation has caused this as well as other negative outcomes for the sport.
Yo! Awesome to see Dylan getting a medal for his part, but I feel like he should of won, or at least got silver. X Games is short for Extreme Games, and as far as I'm concerned Dylan went the most extreme overall. All the unique locations along with the risks involved, with not just getting the shot landing the trick, or God forbid getting injured, but also the risk of getting kicked out or in trouble for just being at some of those spots, adds a different layer of extreme that set his part above the rest.
Dylan is so under appreciated in the sport . Dude is a savage. Seems like a really chill dude too
Lets go Dylan stark 💪
Dylan congrats on making the podium well deserved and truly phenomenal riding by all!
Dylan just keeps going until he hits something perfect. Such a strong focus and work ethic.
Tom blew my f'ing mind too.... and everyone's clips were so good!
TVS definitely blew me away with his part! Some serious bangers! Kade Edwards or Mcduff were probably my 2nd favorite. But Dylan Stark also had some cool stunts. The other riders had some awesome stuff as well so props to everyone! It was cool to see the winner after seeing the videos a while ago.

Tom for gold all day
In the end, they're ALL real MTBers and they all deserve first place in my heart.
Watching Kaid is exactly like how Semenuk rides..... pretty much identical, very very cool too
In my opinion the video parts should be longer 90 seconds isn’t enough to add multiple angles and creative shots the videos feel cramped. It would be better if they were 2:30-3:30 minute parts
agreed

i love his reaction to dylans part "wooow, so, that was different" 🤣🤘🤘
All bangers, but Kade's build was so fresh!💪
So sick to see real mtb more
The thing I like about Dylan is that as gnarly as the stuff he does is, it’s like a regular Monday for him. Such a cool guy
remys part was a vibe
@@shane_ohara51 I agree, Remy's was my favorite
I literally shivered all his part
Dylan’s part was X Games.
Remy's part was the best as a mtb video imo. Not at all a competition run, but as a video part it gave me goosebumps and made me want to ride more than any of the other parts.
Stark all day 🔥🔥🔥

Nicholi not knowing how someone did a rotation....hard to believe 🤣🤣 every one of these parts were sick af 🤘🤘
Congratulations to Dylan Starks
Dylan stark is the best i know he' s gonna go big on rampage this year 😮😮😮
I really loved the wholesome vibe. Best sport ever and it only attracts the best kinds of people
dylan for silver
STTARRRKKK
🐝🏁Great video 👍, They're all legends 🏆🫵✌️
its remy for me, im still building trails with my dad
Dylan for gold 🤘
I’m just here for Dylan Stark
Dylan stark should have won all day
dylan #1 imo. his tricks were way scarier and more risk to health. L judges
facts.

@@petertousignant6566 that’s what happens when you go big
@@petertousignant6566 clueless
rigal is friends with stark from bmx so he may have held back points to not show favoritism and it ended up making him lose. Idk just an assumption
Props to all the riders, mental stuff going down
That compound is off the chain. What a track
Epic
Can we agree that Kade's style is superb though. Would have loved to see Dylan win it though!
TVS cleary is the winner this year come on. Then Stark could have had the silver. This could well have been. Great riding and video from all these atheltes who make us dream and love MTB even more!
did mcduff half cab cash roll?!
Dylan got robbed

One day Dylan one day these bigwigs will see your talent for what it is and give you a gold.
Nobody is "given" gold, or any reward... it's earned... TVS is not even my absolute favorite style but can't deny that insanity!

TVS was on a whole other level
Tom deserves the gold but I agree with some here, Stark would've snatched the G or get the silver at least. not to mention there's Kade Edwards too
🤩😍😍 So so cool that's the best mtb event
Dylannnnn
Hope all these dudes got a fat paycheck for this
Sick wow motivational

Open this contest to the public, let anyone enter, otherwise it's stupid with nearly everyone who enters getting a medal.
Agreed
If those guys don’t make you want to go ride I don’t know what would!! I wanna go ride so bad and I have never owned such bike 😮
Why is it all slopestyle? Freeride might be on it's deathbed...
Anytime I see Remy ride it makes me want to switch up my set up and go rip! Lol
Over the top broke back mountain vibes !?!?!
Yeah....
Chicas beben 🍷
No one got robbed. TVS is the obvious choice IMO.
Stark got robbed
Hilll
personally my fav was definitely remys altough it didnt have any huge complex tricks which is why it probabaly didnt win
^^
Matt for Mayor!!!
this experience is good to watch thanks guys wicked show on earth 🌎
