X Games Surprises

I was just thinking that because there’s no crowds, we may see some surprise standouts. Maybe some people who choke in front of crowds will shine and maybe those who feed off the crowd won’t do as well.
What does everyone think?

potentially, cant think of anyone choking in front of the crowd off the top of my head but people like henrik who feed off the crowd may do less. But he still throws down any other time, curious to see about this.

I feel like big air and knuckle huck has the potential to be the most different with no crowd

yeah halfpipe and slopestyle the crowd is kinda separate, but there's definitely an electric sort of vibe that the crowd gives to big air and knuckle huck.

Didn't X Games not invite the guy who won a gold medal last year in some snowboarding discipline?

Slope never really has a crowd because its such a hard thing to watch from the bottom, big air and half pipe usually have a decent crowd, but if anything it only has a small effect on the athletes. I think the athletes get more stoked from their friends/other athletes at the event vs the crowd of random ppl who are there for the skrillex concert in 30 mins.

So far 2 crashes/2 runs in men’s superpowers. Also, it’s jam format. Maybe people vibed off the crowd in pipe more than imagined. It is a pretty big crowd in a small area around the pipe.
