Men’s Ski Big Air: FULL COMPETITION | X Games Aspen 2023 

we want that insanity at rwlly land !!

Fr (he was going more for creativity) and if he would've landed that dub 14 to knuckle, that would've been sick

no, no respect

@@roanaya2598 why?

@@carstenb23 its a gimmick

@@roanaya2598 huh

U mean matej?

@@mendellang8379 they both can lol

Yeah, and he's got that forward triple 18 in the bag as well. Can't wait for him to do forward triple 1980 and stomp that switch triple 2160

@@johanfoss641 can’t wait for the judges to stop criminally underscoring him too lol

@@mendellang8379 I meant birk. I respectfully have to disagree to this one. I mean last comp I think the rules were ambiguous to not give two separate scores for dub 19 and trip 19. I think the dub 19 this year didn’t receive high score cause he fell after the landing. And the quad wasn’t really a quad

Style has to support technical difficulty. You could see it the other way around, but you need both.

@@midi510it’s pretty debatable that the spin to win tricks have no style, so at least to the judges they really don’t need both. Despite X Games being all about “expression” their scoring has always been about checking boxes and never about “style.”

@@joemarais7683 A really basic way to score would be to give a score (like 1 - 10) for difficulty and one for style, then multiply them. Say you get an 8 for style and a 9 for difficulty. Total would be 72. To avoid a lot of ties, you could allow tenths, like a 7.6 or whatever. If I consider a gnarly line or cliff drop, I factor the likelihood of something going wrong with the severity of the consequences. I don't give it a number, but the concept is there. High probability of something going wrong in conjunction with severe consequences, factor the necessity for a high reward. (This example is for the factoring process only.) If I can imagine it all going well and I know I have the ability to pull it off, I'll go for it. If I can't see it happening in my mind, I won't do it. I used to compete and have judged the IFSA NA circuit many years ago and don't envy judges in the least.

Mad respect to Alex for this, I totally agree. But I also had the feeling that Alex didn't manage to perform what he actually wanted to show. I imagine butter-frontflips after landing from the knuckle, Alex definitely has that down. Unfortunately it seemed as if he didn't find the sweet spot in the speed for the approach. That's why I don't think the judges' decision was that wrong.

Bigger jump 🤷🏻‍♂️

He had enough air for at least one more 180. 🤯

I laughed so hard that he did a cork 180 what a baller

fr

yeah i wanna know

nop he was injured

yeah no it aint. commentators often really generous on what a 'cork' actually is

That’s why the judges don’t like it, quads what he’s going for

Honestly. And when Hiroto Ogiwara landed the first bs 2160 last year, people were calling it a quint cork. Smh

you probably don't know what cork is. if it's not perfectly upright it's cork. no matter how slightly off axis it is. Tom Wallisch probably knows a bit more than you do about freeski.

Yeah it was a triple

@@xxliam_030xx3 You're talking about one of the best to ever do it, someone with more talent in his little toe than you have in your whole body. Put some respect on his name.

@@xxliam_030xx3 He has broken thumb mfkr

broken thumb might effect his ability to grab. Maybe risks injury if he falls could be either

Why?

@@ddandymann because no poles is for 5 year olds.

@@yulmp2 What sort of argument is that? If you want something to be a rule you should have a strong rational basis for it not just, 'I like poles so therefor everyone should use poles', because that sort of flimsy logic really is for 5 year olds.

he gave up because of all the hate he's got

@@Dangerstophe so he basically protested the contest?

Style > numbers

@@ozzy9708 basically yeah

@@Iprodeltaelite it wasn’t even stylish
