And here’s trending moment number seven the Samsung Galaxy men’s ski slope style was something to behold when this thing was finally in the books the scores were through the roof the early runs were dominated by Swiss skier Andre regle who led after one run and actually
Managed to top himself in run two Andre rley the Swiss Gear sitting in the top spot as of right now he posted up a 93 flat smooth again up top the front side switch up front side 450 out there’s another big front side spin with that 630 out these rails have so much
Spinning so much technicality left and right side so two different 450s so laundry known for the technicality always and here’s that 1440 to the right then expect some big left side rotations to finish this off 16 again well we see him Step It Up from the 16 on the bottom
Jump diving forward gets the grab 1800 Andrey rley this gentleman walked away with a silver in this event last year he finds himself in the number five position right now it’s m ban and you can see a little Instagram love there for M ban also filming with faction skis in in the
Back country in the streets always doing technical stuff that’s why he’s got the hurt back for picking up that snowmobile probably trying to dig himself out from a nice stuck but he’s back on course and this is honestly where he’s the most comfortable so solid skis every day 9 to
Four he is a force in the park and look at that tail grab the switch 1260 so perfect will he see the 1,800 potential on this bottom jump he’s doing it is he going to put it down he does forand absolutely gigantic triple cork 1,800 so smooth through the rails and
Then spinning to the moon on that last and final jump that brought up Burk Roode whose disappointing finish last night was very much on his mind so I’m going to be honest Last Night Big Air first time I I feel like I’ve failed myself for two years I’ve
Been like delivering every like every competition I’ve always managed to deliver at least what like I feel like my best this is my best and last night I felt like I did not deliver my best I was not there something was off I things were going too fast for me I kind of
Managed to just like reset go into uh go into my mode and and look at this as you know this is the competition like any other competition Norway’s Burke Roode in for attempt number two sitting down in that ninth position that second run I was
That was my last shot that was the only shot I had I had I I told myself this is the one this is the one you get you need to like I don’t have I don’t have any more power after last night to do to try
To like keep on going like I I got one run all my energy put it in Make It Count getting Tech up top on the rails here let’s see this back three switch up transfer that’s what gave him trouble earlier and we know Burke he excels on
The jump no way was that that good that’s a right side 16 there’s that switch 16 will he go even bigger in the final jump he’s a big air Master the double bio oh just squeaks it around Burke Roode finally puts down a run gets the rails and jump combinations together I’m still
Dumbfounded by that right side 16 that was huge and you see the relief on his face after coming up short in Big Air last night do you mind talking me through that second run yeah yeah I was fully fully present fully focused on top going into the first rail front Three swap front
Two and then it’s like always the first rail boom and then you’re like when that s when that sits you’re just you’re on you’re on one and then you go into second rail I did a switch right to back 450 and Landing switch again looking over my left shoulder switch to back
Swap to forward on the on the Kink Rail and then coming into the last rail feature where I failed in the first run being patient just going with the flow getting on the rail back Three swap to the right landing on locking it to forward and then boosting speed into the
Side hit going huge Right double 16 safety boom Stomp and then we’re on second jump switch left double Quirk 16 tail grab going huge stomping going into that last one and this is this is the moment like I was looking in my head when I VIs Iz before I dropped in so
This is like in the minutes before I was dropping in my run I I I had looked I I had been imagining this uh last double bio 18 and I managed to get a good takeoff go far do a double bio 18 barely made it around managed to not to to get
It on my feet and just and that’s it 96.3 three Burke Roode just jumped to the top of the leaderboard by a full point wowers Burke Roode putting down a hammer here in run number two as Tom jumps out of the booth to go give him a big hug
That’s the beauty of being out here cour side you get to do stuff like that it’s awesome and I know he was frustrated after last night coming up short so I’m so excited for Burke to put one down here in slope style so now it comes down
To Colby Stevenson I don’t pay any attention to the leaderboard it doesn’t like the thing is the fact is it does not matter you can only do your best and that’s what’s you know that’s what’s up you can only control yourself three run he finds himself at
The bottom of the pack in 10th place looking to get rid of that 14.33 through the rail section here and heading into the shark fin let’s see the line selection this time oh he gets it the only athlete hitting that feature switch it’s so hard to get that line
There’s the switch 1260 then watch this bottom jump let’s see if he has that nose butter rotation nose butter double cork 16 and he maintains on that final one Gus Kenworthy over there he’s got the locked box with all the medals ready to hand out that of messing around with the
Security Gus had that big handcuffed to himself right there so Gus set to hand out the hardware here we take a look at Alex Hall third final attempt he is on the outside looking in he’s down in that number nine spot you need a 94.3 three
Or better to jump into the medals he’s in for his third and final attempt oh this is Alex’s best run yet on that first rail and the scores are so high look at all those scores in the ’90s Alex got that 77 but just needs to clean
Everything up and get all the way through this course I can’t believe he can pretzel that that is switch 270 backside switch up so technical to get the final pretzel there so smooth on the shark that double 12 spinning alley into the switch 14 did he get the
Grab good on that one he’s going switch well we see that pretzel switch right side rotation Alex that was a huge score last night in X game’s Big Air the switch right inside 1080 and he pretzles it in the air you can hear him I’ve never seen Alex get
That intense he’s going yes at the bottom the excitement from him he was looking at a gold medal last night had to settle for silver in Big Air looking for more Hardware here today boom look at that switch up to the flat there so Technical and this might not look like a
Ton but it’s dancing it’s perfect choreography as Kristen talked about the switch up the pretzel everything coming together here’s that 12 I was or the 14 excuse me I was worried about the grab but I had nothing to worry about cuz Alex knows how to do it right this one
It’s cork but it almost goes side qu there and watch this at the end shifts the body I don’t know how he holds that from not going to 1260 it is a 14 or a 1080 instead of a 1260 and it’s a pretzel as you see and it comes in it’s a
96 he jumps into second place that’s going to bump Cy Stevenson down to Fourth but in the end no one could top Burk Roode Not only was it Redemption but it was long time coming Roode has five X Games Big Air medals but he never finished better than fifth in X game
Slope style until now yeah I was getting some energy from my dad today like I was just like cuz it we had some special moments you know in in X Games and uh today I was kind of low from yesterday’s Big Air so I just kind of just like
Talking to him be like okay Dad I need your energy and uh yeah I mean I guess I guess we did it it’s trending moment number six 21y old has been Sensational currently in a Podium spot but nothing is safe as we get into the third and final runs here look at him
Trying to milk every ounce of speed out of that drop in oh my God gosh uh 22 going to give him 23 somebody call Air Traffic Control he was absolutely in the flight path that’s a this is a 22t wall high wall Craig yes and how high did he go
Above that wall I’m going to say 23 ft I’m going to round up to 23 ft Kaiu harano trending moment number five Khloe Kim is back in the xgame super pipe for the first time since her win in 2021 Podium perfect she owns eight medals from eight previous appearances
Including six gold medals a seventh gold on Friday would tie her lifelong Mentor Kelly Clark for most gold in the discipline I think people thought that I was just chilling on my couple years off not doing much but no I was grinding getting my health right because as I get older
The rip old age of 23 uh my body takes hits extremely you know a lot harder than than it used to and um understanding that I had to make sure that I was ready to come back it’s kind of hard to come back from a place of darkness and self-doubt I’ve never been
In that position before um questioning every trick overthinking every trick making every trick bigger than it truly is I mean I’ve been doing these tricks for years I think I have the most fun when I’m for pressing this Sport and I think a lot of the other ladies can
Probably relate to that there’s something so powerful about maybe you know being the first woman to do a trick in a competition or just ever not only is that a really cool thing to do make history but that allows the Next Generation to do bigger and better
Things one day um them seeing that possibility seeing that you know they could do anything they put their minds to so that’s kind of my mission and that’s what I’m trying to do Monster Energy women’s snowboard super pipe I’m so excited for this one four rookies in this field but all eyes
Will be on Chloe Kim making her triumphant return to the Aspen stage and now that moment we’ve all been waiting for making her return to the Aspen stage for the first time in three years owner of eight X Games medals six of them gold can she tie Kelly Clark here tonight for
