Giovanni, the FAKIE master!! Bravo!! I was one of the only skaters out of most of my friends who learned every flatground trick I knew how to do fakie as well as "forward." So I love seeing how Gio and Jhanko skate fakie so well. 1000 times better than I ever did to boot....Lol.
THAT 87 WAS COMPLETELY ABSURD AND JUST DISRESPECTFUL TO GUSTAVO!!!!! 🤯😤😤😤😤….If he shouldn’t have been first, which I believe he definitely should have, he should’ve at least been second. I think it should’ve been Gustavo, Braden, the Nyjah. Nyjah could never flip out of a crooked grind down a handrail in his run. Gustavo did a kick flip back lip on the same exact barrier as Nyjah. He also trey flipped into a 50-50 and that quick feet section was crazyyyyy…Nyjah did two of the same tricks basically back to back with the kick flip back lip’s, maybe the first could’ve been a kick flip front board but still basically the same trick, and all his tricks are the same tricks we’ve been seeing him do in his runs for years and years now, theyre basically tired at this point, while Braden’s doing an impossible down a stair set and Gustavo’s flipping out of handrails…this is why nobody respects X-Games medals cause theyre just biased for which skater is the most popular, which is always Nyjah. That was a sham, and shameful at the same time. Gustavo or Braden should have easily won over Nyjah, but hey, thats why X-Games will never be a respected skateboarding event 🤷🏻…
Except Nyjah was flipping into all steep rails, which is much more difficult than doing it on a hubba or barrier. One flip out doesnt guarantee first place, even though I agree that 87 was too low. Nyjah deserved 1st place, Hoban and Gustavo should have battled for 2nd with at least 90 each.
@@GLMusic12 i respect your opinion, my opinion is i still think Gustavo’s run and Braden’s were both better than nyjah’s but it’s just not as “Sexy” to have skaters that are basically unknown outside of the skate community like Gustavo and Braden win an ESPN (Disney) event over Nyjah which is by far the most known and popular skateboarder in the world by everyone, and then he gets to do an interview on air afterwords…so i think it was some extreme favoritism and influence, but everyone’s opinion is different, like yours and mine, so the judges opinion could’ve been different too, and i respect it now…i was just heated after i watched it in that moment hahaha…but now it’s whatever, what can you do…i respect your opinion though, Nyjah definitely had great tricks in his run that is completely undeniable and he deserved a medal regardless 👍🏼…
Nonsense opinion, that is all too common. If it was all no names/no sponsors/blind judging. Then Nyjahs run would win everytime. You are doing exactly what you’re complaining about. Pure bias.
Sure he's hated, but he's like skateboarding's version of a steroid freak.. what would happen if your dad forced you to land your tricks? Nyjah is obviously what happens. But at what cost? They don't speak. His dad held years of his footage hostage. But he can skate like he's a video game...money is all that really matters right?
