I was pretty busy with some serious drinking this weekend so these Xgames blogs are coming a bit late but I can I assure you they are glorious.
My favorite xgames discipline has become ski knuckle huck. It was sick last year when they did it for snowboarders but they gave me blue balls by not having the skiers do it. But this year they added skiers to the mix so now I can really get my rocks off. And let me tell ya… my rocks could not have been more off than they were while watching this. No ones rocks have ever been further removed from their body. This was even better than aspen. everybody was just sacrificing their body to the send gods and it was magnificent.
Henrik Harlaut did what he always does and put on a god damn show. He was going full send, fuckin hootin and hollaring, and just having a grand old time. The balls you have to possess to come to an event like this and throw a nose butter double cork 12 first try is fucking bananas. Henrik Harlaut is a fucking dominant force but extremely loveable and is making his case for best freestyle skier of all time better every single day.
Did you know that before this event Jesper Tjäder had competed in 11 xgames events and not medaled once? Thats fucking insane for someone as talented as him but he got ‘er done this weekend by being an absolute maniac. He was pushing himself to the limit, it was fucking unbelievable to watch. He had me yelling everytime he left the ground. That switch double backflip was insane. I have never felt such pleasure in my loins until I saw that massive fucking double and he also came inches away from bomking his noggin and concussing himself into oblivion.. And then coming out next with a switch handrag frontflip was vinegar stroke inducing. And then the balls on Tom Wallisch to say he should go for the switch double front for his next trick? ridiculous. He already just about died doing that trick and now you want him to do it twice? figure it out bud.
Alex Hall is going to be a force in freestyle skiing for a long time and this was a prime example why. This man went bigger than anyone else in this comp. He was just sending himself into orbit with no care for his safety at all, but still managed to land every trick he tried. His second to last trick when he opened up a bit and almost lost it has to be the biggest anyone has gone in any knuckle huck event so far. Pulling that switch double cork 1440 on his last attempt had me all sorts of frisky. That was fucking huge, steezy, and spinny as fuck.
