REPLAY: Crankworx Innsbruck Slopestyle 2023 

Hes sooo good!!!! The energy he puts out is off the charts. He made that event. The intros brought the place alive and it didn't stop. What a freaking sick event. Well done Emil and David unreal runs!!

Agreed!

Yee HE would be a good at presenting

He was the guy who attracted me to the sport. He has a big heart and shows it too in his riding!

shoul've won in my opinion

I guess you can put a foot down and score 2 points higher. Total bs.

@@n1gh7m4re 2 worlds first by emil tho, hard to beat that. both runs out of this world🤯

I don't get how he can always win with when he only does techy tricks and nothing "big". It's always the same, oppo spins and downside whips. Don't get me wrong he's awesome and it's incredible to watch and super high level. But it's only impressive when you know it's oppo. Whereas you cant mistake a no handed twister, that sh*t looks crazy and waaaay more dangerous and waaaay more impressive in MY OPINION. These judges need to looks at the overall and not just the difficulty of the tricks. I wish they would judge it like they do in Freestyle MX and base it on multiple things like trick variation, technicality, crowd response, execution, etc. Godziek and Nicholi i feel have both been robbed recently. There run's are way more of spectacle to watch, whereas i feel like Emile's runs are like a very techy nerdy run where you have to be a rider to really appreciate it.

@@jonmacnevin1223 You're right about the crowd reaction. I was standing right infront of the last jump, the local crowd was going nuts for Dawid. Yea, they also applauded for Emil and his run was good too, but i almost lost my hearing due to the screaming when Dawid landed the last trick.

I guess emil is just thinking oh yeah that gets point i do them … but amazing comp to see that emil need to get his best run down … Exited to see godziek and emil pushing themselves up It lik the modern variant of brandon and brett in the past..👊🏼🤘🏼

100% the Anton Thelander has been judging for a long time, they need to circulate judges. he is judging all season and prior season. look up his channel, I asked him on his latest vid about last event and he said it came down to line choice, i just asked him again how a run with a foot down could possible score a 97 over a perfect run with insane tricks and those tricks godziek is throwing are just as hard as any oppo. I feel the judges are making all the riders feel they need to ride emils style. everyone had different bags of tricks when oppo tricks are the highest scoring what motivation does the sport have to progress when a big 1st time trick gets pushed back to a lower end oppo trick. If we stay on this path the innovation in the sport will slow down to a snail pace. Its seems like a oppo truck driver is on par with a no handed twister from the judging. last event emil just did spins and whips mirrored and one flat drop flip. also they mention how tricks loose there glory over time. winshield wiper seems to be scoring huge. thats not no new trick it was sam pilgrims go to trick back in like 2013!!! cycle the judges please redbull, or better yet when nickoli is not competing use him!!!

Totally with you I can’t see how his run beat Godzi technically harder and more difficulty Emil seems to have his own scoring system he is an amazing rider just think Godzi beat him this time and Bringer beat him last time

@@Downhill-gy6mw agreed will be good when fedko is back, i think he can push emil to if he ups his game again

facts..his technicals are so boring, it's hard but boring unlike the likes of rogatkin when he throws his body everywhere almost falling everytime, it's more exciting.

Thank you

You sir are a saint for this!

legend!

Peso thing 2:21:15 was uncalled for.... Could be avoided next time.

My hero

so great to see him so involved and loving it even with a smashed arm... top attitude!! also cool to see fedko in the box!

Love nikolai

a lot of Godzieks tricks seem way higher risk and way more gnarly to watch! but that was legit Emil's best ever run apart from the pedal slip 🙈

U can’t give someone 97 points with slipped Pedal, this was 100% Godziek‘s win

@@TheSkycaa your mom was 100% Godzieks win

@@gatord0g your mom said u have to behave yourself 😘

as always 🤷‍♂

O dang, I didnt know Emil's run had two world's firsts. Whoa!

100% you would have think that would have gave godziek the edge. a run with a foot slip that scores over 97 was a worlds 1st.

@@incredible5587 yeah, especially that previous boys got cut off 10 points for pedal slips. Then what, was it a 107 points run? Kinda tricky for me…

Is a foot slip always - 10 PTS?

@@Xbox360gamer5000 apparently not

@@Xbox360gamer5000 not for emil it seems like.

Agree

Yeh its hard to tell, in previous competitions he has scored really high with normal windshield, he did it oppo, and another world first, i recon if dawid got the cashy windshield he would have one, but yeh i dont have a major problem with Emil winning, i dont think people realise how crazy emils run was!!

Not when it’s the best slope run of all time. Emil is on another level and I’d say it’s more arguable that Dawid’s run was scored rather high but it’s my theory the judges wanted to challenge Emil to really work for this record and triple crown.

Considering what was on the line he was forced to commit with it. Anyone else would have pulled their run with a foot off on that whale tail. Not saying I agree with the score, but it did add to the run.

I'm not sure if his foot touched the ground??

yes 100% there has to be some equality there and the foot slip should have gave godziek the edge. Last event every trick Emil did besides the flat drop flip was a spin whip combo mirrored. nothing against Emil he rides like a boss but what i also think this basing the event of emils style does not encourage people to innovate tricks.

Absolutely right. Technicality is overscored in this sport. Which is fine, but it wouldn't hurt to mix up the judging criteria every now and then. I feel like both rogatkin and godziek, the guys that really bring in the viewers, have absolutely deserved some of those 12 win

exactly, again the same story.

He got robbed. Emil had a good run but not as good.

Ageee. Well said. Red Bull ain’t gonna let their biggest star in slopestyle lose in his big moment

I hope that’s what he does when he retires

The technical aspects of Emils run I think pushed him over Godzieks run. Even with a minor foot slip on the whale tail. I don't think it should have been a 97.25 but maybe a 96. Hard to Judge a contest when you aren't on the hot seat. Very close at the end of the day.

@@nickb2806I think risk needs to be rewarded. Emil does the same run every event. David’s tricks are way more impressive. And his run was just about perfect. Emil’s was not.

I saw the score before the run so I thought it was going to flawless.

@@Jacksonmontyart how can easier tricks be more impressive? emil does tricks no one else in the world can do because he is in a league of his own, thats why he wins. he could probably do every other riders tricks if he wanted to and there is no one else in the world that can do what he does.

Would be interested to see it judged by a biomechanical judging system like the one they got at ritsch roll

He just doesn’t quite have what it takes to beat Emil !!

I hope one day instead of commenting you win triple crown

i need to stop reading comments on these man ruined the whole stream for me lol

yeah i think the slipped foot would have got Godziek the edge. I thought 97 for a foot slip was a bit high! Emil's run was fire though!!!!

He doesn't have a foot slip and judges sympathy. That's all. That's what it took this time to be the Emil.

For sure!!

Downside whip, oppo, downside whip, oppo, regular, downside to oppo. Yeh super impressive but it is the same sh*t every time.

Yeah he deserved maybe 5th.

riders do actually get points for cleanliness and style

Boring *

That’s a ridiculous statement

no, signing your name with the opp hand is better

me too, again scam AF

@@GrafRamolo getting tired of this being all Emil the Emil show every damn time Godziek is the Real Winner

@@atheistmoe5528 exactly

Did you watch the whole run? He could have definitely done better by not slipping a pedal. I thought judges were "looking for perfection" that's what they literally say EVERY year. Very convenient that as soon as Emil isn't perfect they decide to abandon that logic. Dawid won that 100%.

same story for the 3,4 time?

Yeah OMG matt jones is a great annalist. when he is announcing he describes everything so well and he is always pumped for them all and true opinion. I think him and Nickoli would be a great duo, maybe add cam as a trio cause he has had that spot forever seems. You know who else is a great announcer annalist but in BMX scotty Cranmer when he does X games he is always so insightful!!!

@@incredible5587 Scotty's pretty great too. I'm just tired of Cam honestly.

I thought the same thing. The drone shots need some work

@@scottcole1423 was no doubt the wind issues, so the director probably should've made the call to ditch the drone shots entirely, though at least they were minimal.

@@ManWalksDogs yeah you’re probably right

Emil Johansson is my favorite!!!😁😍🤩😆

what do you mean? he slipped the pedal and touched down the foot is that standard thats high?? its freaking low tier judgement right there...

Godzieks run looked way better.

@@tobi.bukovec I don't think so, and there's more than "looks"

​@@b.o.a.t4042it's all about looks. The judging is subjective and done by looking.

@@FightFilms If the comment before had included some reasons why it looked better, i'd might have agreed. Since it didn't i can't assume it's all about looks.

​@@b.o.a.t4042if what the other guys are doing is easier, how come Emil cannot do some of the more impressive looking tricks they do?

yup and another comparison X=Scotty Cranmer to BMX. Its great when they break down the tricks for us!!!!

It’s hard to watch honestly. Makes me not want to watch this event anymore. Tired of seeing David getting screwed.

There's a few other reasons too.

Precisely.

and again and again and again. he tries new things and harder tricks and the judges still are on Emil's site.

Literally a run, he even used his feet :D! I still thought it’s a biking not running contest :(

@@Bator317 I thought it should have been much closer because of that, with out that slip apparently he would hav had a 99 maybe higher.

get them both at rampage and do it!!!

Pedal slip.

Emil is soooooo lucky his foot didn't go all the way down 😳😳

@@0harris0is foot must’ve stopped at the train station called Toe drag Central I think The live stream should be called Johansson TV lol Plus I don’t know Emil hasn’t got over. 100 points yet as he’s only 24 it will come I can’t wait for joyride to see the same tricks all over again The crazy thing is the judges know what he’s going to do but they can’t knock any points off because. he does them So well and pardon the pun but I think after all these years this is the only time he’s put a foot wrong lol

​@@0harris0it did

@@0harris0 not luck. He’s just that good.

@@0harris0 Worlds 1st 97 with a foot down, i think the poles are shifting.

They almost need to do a three run format to give the sketchier riders like dawid a chance

​@@gatord0gdid Dawid's foot slip and touch down?

​@@FightFilms No, although Emil's foot didn't touch the ground. He merely took his foot off to adjust his balance. Crankworx has a long history of not docking significant points for taking a foot off, points are only majorly docked if the foot touches the ground. Please see Rheeder's winning run from Innsbruck 2019 when he slips a foot without touching the ground on his flip oppo dub whip. Or tommy g's second place run Rotorua 2018 when he slips a foot on his 3 bar to whip. This is simply how the judging has always worked. Know your history.

​@@gatord0ghis foot clearly touched the whale tail. Watch in slow motion. And, you don't get one of the highest scores ever with a foot slip and so much repetition. Can Emil even do a 1080 tuck no hander? Bet not. Muh difficulty doe.

@@FightFilmsI watched the slow motion replay many times and can’t find a foot dab. Send me a time stamp of the foot touching the ground and you have my word, I’ll agree with you. And no Emil can’t twistor tuck no. But is that trick really all that special? Look at all the riders that can twistor: dawid, isted, Nicholi, some random dude in Dylan starks 420 jam… don’t you think it wont be long until another one of those guys adds a tuck no to that trick? on the other hand how many people can 360 triple whip? Oppo triple whip? Oppo windshield wiper?? Only Emil. His tricks are untouchable. It’s going to be a very long time before someone does those tricks.

Emil’s best run ever? With the majestic foot dab? That’s sad…

Ignore the dab, why don't you?

Despite the pedal slip, he still packed more into his run than Godziek did, not to mention pulling 2 world firsts. Emil wins because of his technicality and ability to accumulate points. If people want to see more style and more huck tricks, the judging format needs to be changed. As it is right now, if Godziek wants to beat Emil, he's gonna need to pack more into his runs

He’s incredible, but technicality is over scored. Godziek was so much better in my opinion. He’s always been the fans winner every event.

He’s doing new tricks and he’s completing a run with difficult tricks where Godziek is clearly putting straight filler. It would be cruel not to give him the win when he’s out working everyone

yes, again.
