- adaptive snow bikecross
- para snow bikecross
- men’s snowboard knuckle huck

So, snowboard knuckle huck?? again skiing gets left out of the mix, this time on something I feel like some skiers would really throw down on. On one note, xgames has added things in the past to stay relevant and catchy; this isn’t uncommon.

However, they can tend to favor snowboarders - and this may be an instance of that. Personally I feel like this mit be difficult to judge, or we could see skewed judging - either way, a knuckle huck as a “trick” for a mainstream comp like this is definitely interesting.

Thoughts?

I'm pretty unbothered by this, it'll be in next year if its a hit, and the whole knuckle huck thing will probably be scrapped in 5 years. Meh.

Kinda bummed with this being snowboarding only. Would love to see what kind of madness would come from our guys competing on an X games level when throwing stuff off the knuckle.

If we can't have Henrik hucking off knuckles, maybe we we can get Sammy C invited, considering he's the only skier to be actually invited to Superpark. Also here is Henriks knuckle nosebutter dub 10 from the Sammy c invitational.

Although that's just a jump. He's sending off a lip well before the actual knuckle. Small lip, but still a jump.

I see that now. It popped into my head and I remembered it as henrik sending a nb dub 10 off of part of the knoll separate from the jump in the center that protrudes significantly out of the ground. Guess that makes it a table.
