This is the absolute pinnacle of snowboarding and skiing entertainment. I hope they just don't start applying the same criteria to this as big air making it just another washing machine spin cycle. Those laid back no-spin runs are the best IMO.
I mean Halldor got rewarded pretty good for being creative here, Marcus has more spins, but he is also just really good at knuckle tricks and does a lot of different things very controlled. So I think this contest in a fine spot.
If they dish out medal on the basis of complexity/difficulty the event is over. If they want to protect the integrity of this event top 3 lineups should be determined be by vote of the participants. That is the best for the contestants and often best for the sport (in extreme sports)
Knuckle Huck has been a breath of fresh air in competitive snowboarding. IMO big air has become like gymnastics, tucking and spinning as fast as possible doesn't look that good.
Mate it's even worse for us skiers. Now that 2160's are the way to win it's just dudes doing pencil spins, no different to arials. I honestly find the womens big air more entertaining at this point because style is still a factor there.
Imagine for a second that Dusty took that first run and did tricks with that nasty 100ft ollie... I love how this event just melts my mind every time seeing what people come up with off a knuckle lol
The knuckle huck is easily the most fun I’ve had watching snow sports in a long time!!! Let’s pray that it doesn’t become an event that rewards the best human helicopter…we want style, steez, flat spins, slo mo, creativity!!!!
What! I mean super incredible! Just like wow! I mean boarders were sending it huge time! Like wowsers! Way to go y’all! Love this competition! I like that dudes shirt! In my opinion! It’s a very nice shirt! Way to go everyone!
i see what you are saying but i think for the integrity of this event keeping it as low key and casual, is what really brings out the enjoyment for the fans and competitors .
stuff like 2:25 is so sick, close to the snow, making contact with the slope. spinning a million times mid air is so much less impressive to me for some reason

Dusty’s 1800 Japan tuck knee was insanely steezy
Same. This event is so much more fun than big air

Yep, big air is boring really, just too much spin and everything looks the same and it's all so intense, the fun is being optimized out of the tricks
@@vedmaburuxova68 yeah plus without slowmotion it's even hard sometimes to know if it was an 1800 or a 2160 lol
My heart dropped on Dusty’s last run. That was insane. Could’ve been a lot worse if he didn’t have cat like reflexes 😂
Hope this event doesn't degrade into finding the fastest helicopter, like the other events...
Looks like it already is. Marcus wins because he spins.
@@youtubeceoruinedyoutube what you mean? Every trick I saw was slow and controlled. Mainly flips. It’s all Steeze with the this event

You called it this year they did
Knuckle Huck has been a breath of fresh air in competitive snowboarding. IMO big air has become like gymnastics, tucking and spinning as fast as possible doesn't look that good.
I miss big stylish 900s with tweaked grabs
Spot on mate. Big air is nothing more than spin to win right now
Mate it's even worse for us skiers. Now that 2160's are the way to win it's just dudes doing pencil spins, no different to arials. I honestly find the womens big air more entertaining at this point because style is still a factor there.
a fresh of breath air for sure
Agree 💯
This event saving the X games viewership
that double front flip was nuts!!!
My fav trick! And backflips look so clean
marcus k turning this to another spin to win
5:12---- This dude looks ripped AF 😂😂💀
I love watching this more than big air. I bet this is more fun for these guys too!
This is by far the best event
Really cool to see haldor, considering a lot of of my favorite riders that i grew up watching don't compete anymore
Imagine for a second that Dusty took that first run and did tricks with that nasty 100ft ollie... I love how this event just melts my mind every time seeing what people come up with off a knuckle lol
not just an ollie. 100' floaty front shifty
Best event easily. Everyone is actually having fun and being super creative and playful.
I hate how it's the most spins wins now. Style has left the chat for snowboarding.
Was hoping the guy with the backpack was gonna pull a parachute.
MK is trending towards greatest of all time
That high five would’ve been so sick
Spin skin spin spin spin. Spin spin spin. There were a lot more stylish runs that the spin for the win.
Me: proud when i manage a 180 over a small jump without injury.
Marcus Kleveland: takes off from a knuckle like a helicopter...
this is my favorite event, so aesthetically pleasing
Dusty is the run who should have won. The knuckle huck is about getting close to that edge and he sent it.
Loved having Selema back in the booth!!!
Dusty riding without a shirt is insane. You can get really injured, skin just pells off.
These Kids are from another planet!
Pumped to see halldor in the comp
So good to see Halldor back in competition again!
helga was on one
The knuckle huck is easily the most fun I’ve had watching snow sports in a long time!!! Let’s pray that it doesn’t become an event that rewards the best human helicopter…we want style, steez, flat spins, slo mo, creativity!!!!
Stoneymcblaze was looking hype my guy
I was about to say no Zeb highlights???? Until 4:00 😂
Great start!
I enjoyed every second of this
so much cooler than doin tripple dorks on big air kicker
"That's another 14.... I see those every day"🤣🤣🤣
1:34 he didn’t dig his toes at all 🤨
2024 sucks, back to watch 2023 again
Hope to see zeb get back at it again soon
knucks is my favorite event
Such a fun contest.
Favorite snowboard event
Best event in all of winter X Games
What! I mean super incredible! Just like wow! I mean boarders were sending it huge time! Like wowsers! Way to go y’all! Love this competition! I like that dudes shirt! In my opinion! It’s a very nice shirt! Way to go everyone!
Холдор вернулся!!!я сейчас же пересмотрю полностью все ради этого!))))
it's crazy to see how much progress... ninja kids would be doing 1080s like nothing
why only one jump from zeb in the recap? that bad were the jumps?
Love this event! Gliding never looked so cool 😎
The stoke is high n so em I!
My fave competition, should actually show scores on this and maybe custom make a course, a few zero G close proximity hucks would be a blast to watch.
i see what you are saying but i think for the integrity of this event keeping it as low key and casual, is what really brings out the enjoyment for the fans and competitors .
Dusty’s first hit was the best
No, no, no…. We don’t want “spin it to win it”… We want style and everything not big air, pipe or slopestyle.
stoney mcblaze really got the xgames feature
bro a riders republic song beat dropped at 2:59
i want women's knuckle huck too!! want to see the cracked japanese boarders getting creative
Markus is the next Shawn white.
they did us wrong... they did us wroooong
Why was there very little zeb in these highlights??
stuff like 2:25 is so sick, close to the snow, making contact with the slope. spinning a million times mid air is so much less impressive to me for some reason
Give me some knuckles!!
zeb said he was gunna come out with his 206cm or 208cm board, idk but the things huge. he was practicing with it in aspen..
Coooooooooooool Boarders!!!!!
Spin to win
Who else saw Stoney McBlaze
Is that the honorable judge Stoney at 5:14 ?! Should’ve been featured at 4:20…
haha yes dude!
NEVER EVER HAVE I CHANGED ON MY NEIGHBORS
WHY IS THIS NOT IN 4K 60FPS??? THE VIDEOS I RECORD OF MY SON, ON MY PHONE, ARE IN 4K 60FPS. AND I'M NOT A FREAKING SPORTS NETWORK.
“Hey guys we worked really hard on building that ramp, if someone could just use it once, that’d be great”
Why does it seem like it less of a party and more of a competition to these competitors now?
It was a nice 14
ZEB IS POWER
8:10 mmmmmm, I smell mar iguanaaaaaa
Which intern does these compilations? No story arc, jumps out of order, not showing the medal celebration...
go watch the full video
It is best of why would they need to be in order? This comment is just dumb
Me: happy to finally start sort of making down unweighted turns.
Meanwhile 20 yo kids on the mountain:
👏👏👏 NICE START. 🏳🏳🏳
Skiers surpassed snowboarding compare the two contests.
Was gunna say no contest at all ince marcus throws in the spins
5:13🤣
Snowboard knuckle huck is much better than Ski. Bring it to the Olympics!!
Spin to win ig. Not that Marcus wasnt good just others were a lot more innovative and cooler
Hayabusa 🙈 baby!
yes
O_O awesome
Welcome back to the walmart chipotle starbucks KY jelly tampax balenciaga viagra snowboard rail jam *immediately cuts to a word from their sponsors*
Halldor should have won.
Get some better announcers already Jesus
What does Chipotle have to do with this?
Halldor got robbed
not sure what to even say
These announcers are clowns

Yooooo
The X-games... where 12 year old kids win gold medals. 😂
Awesome show. Congrats to all the riders! Jesus loves you and saves (John 3:16; John 14:6). He is the Way
more spins!
5:14 @stoneymcblaze?
This is the monsters!💪♥️🏂❄️🔥👍Who tell me please where's from this guys?From Sweden?
The announcing is so jaded. It’s a sad state.
I like anything with knuckle in the name. Maybe that’s the Mighty Duck in me.
