Quan did a sw tailbutter to double BIO come on man what the fuck are we doing here

I'm usually chill with x games judges fucking up but how did they watch those runs and decide "yeah that's not a podium, let's give it to three people who all did the same trick!"

steez_apprenticeno way did jesper beat quan not a chance

feels like the judges are overcompensating for that one time jesper got robbed. his 3rd run was nothing special imo but somehow got him into 3rd place.

Judging has been super weird all weekend. Especially after hearing Jason arens on like 3 different podcasts recently talk about what they're trying to emphasize in the judging booth and then doing the opposite in every event.

Heartbreaking for Nick to get knocked off the podium on the last run, but Nico’s run is one of a kind. All the top runs were so fucking good though, such a hype pipe comp all around. Super happy for hunter to get a medal. Goepper will be back, it’s insane how good his run is already in his first season doing pipe

Wow pipe was the best event for sure. Love seeing pipe finally getting creative. Nico’s run is obviously the best pipe run that’s ever happened, think the judges docked him a bit for short grabs if I had to guess. Alex’s run was massive, and if you boost every hit in X like that you deserve the gold even if it wasn’t as creative. Hunters misty too.


if I were to pick a signature pipe trick, it’d be going for longest horizontal wall ride.

Ngl, I didn't expect all the creative takes on pipe. Very cool. I thought he was crashing the first carve back.

The drone needs to fucking die though.
