I dislike that the xgames are not able to be watched in all america because this guys always upload the videos with REGIONAL restrictions. Sports should be shared worldwide!!!
Because he touched the ground. In this format, clean, flawless excecution means way more than how big or difficult tricks you make. You touch the ground, you're basically not going above 70pts, no matter the rest.
Gary makes it fun he doesn't just spit stats out at you he makes it funny and more entertaining he also hangs out with the skaters before the contest so he can tell you more about there runs and how difficult the tricks are
all these haters hating on Gary...they arent real skate fans tho and prolly don't watch skate line, so of course they don't get it! Pay em no attention Gary I think your commentating is funny AF and on point!!! Gary is like the John Madden of skating, he might say some dumb stuff sometimes but don't forget how dry most of the other announcers are before you judge him!!!
His commentary style takes awhile to warm up to. When I first started watching pro skating I couldn't understand and didn't like his commentary at all. Now I find it hilarious and refreshing.
I want to see a contest where no one is allowed to see to course until they walk in as there run starts. One run each, on the fly and a winner crowned. You can call it "The Wair Test"?
It's been a long journey for Ishod Wair. Well he did got a bronze medal in Austin Texas and 3 years later he finally scored an x games gold medal. In total he has right 2 x games medals.
@xgames, when you guys streamed the elimination for this you didn’t make it available in australia, you guys have always made it available in Australia so not maybe you just made a mistake this time. Please can you make it available as id really like to watch it before watching the finals. Thank you
Those commentators thinking Yuto's second run would get him in thrid place. Yuto did 2 actual hard tricks, kinda bailed the third trick. 59 was generous Actually, the judges in this final were pretty spot on. So a massive shout out to being fair and real. Oshad the best skater this day. Always great to see technical skaters win big! I do think that Oliveira could've won if every trick he tried wasn't a best trick. Relax with the flips. Not every trick has to be a flip, it's exhausting
Well a huge Congratulations to Ishod Wair for the winning the gold medal in Men's Skateboard Street competition at X games Norway. A huge accomplishment at 15 x games appearances.
The last trick of Ribiero's run was too hard. That's like best trick contest material. He should have gone for a simpler trick on to the rail for the ender.
Because americans always do that haha not to be rude but its genuinely most likely because they think the average american wouldnt have a clue where Oslo is.
I didn't like him until this year, he got better. First times I heard him he was often disrespectful towards the skaters, at times his comments were even racist, I feel now he knows how to not cross the line and still be a fun commentator.
I think the biggest issue is that they need to find someone who can work with and feed off of Gary. I get why people have an issue with Gary for this but when properly utilized and managed he’s an asset to skateboard commentary.
10:04 is my favorite Gary moment of his X Games commentary career until now. I do understand a few points some people have arguing about him, but that one showed why it's refreshing to have him as a commentator. To me he's no Cole, but he's Gary and that's alright.
Am I the only one who was about 20 minute into this when they realized it was the finals? It didn't feel like it had that sense of desperation and importance that I'm used to in X-Games' finals. I actually thought I was watching a round of elims or the semis.
Dois Brasucas representando mas a primeira volta do gring0 quebrou o campeonato. Two brasilians very powers but not complete perfect. The first show nort american take good number and winner absoluty. Parabens .
yeah this is kinda confusing, dont follow it too closely but i thought jamie foy was there too? maybe another day of different skaters since the parks a bit smaller
“Oh he were looking at the crowd” “Yea” “You know there’s a whole skate contest going on too” I love how he put dude in his place, that announcer is extremely annoying and it makes it hard to watch
1) Thank you for not putting the winners name OR photograph in the title and thumbnail. 2)How you going to end all that awesomeness with that song? Sounded like it was written by some dude that knew nothing about skateboarding except for what he read on wikipedia moments before writing the... "song", I guess we'll call it. That's plagiarism. #corny
