I'm glad i went to watch that.

Definitely and censorship should be a thing of the past 😋

He should have said "I want to apologize....to absolutely no one!!"

Same here bro

39:54

That's exactly why his scores aren't that high.

Makes it look sick though

True but it’s still sick tho

Not to mention the bmx park best trick was insane, and the bmx dirt best trick was the most mental thing I've ever seen! 4 new worlds firsts!!! The moto quarter pipe the top 4 guys beat last years record. This x games was the best I've ever seen, everyone came with their best this year for sure!

Ya it seemed they had hit the ceiling on progression. Still amazing but was getting a little redundant.

What innovation

@@nicholasfoley7105 Yeah I kinda miss 10-15 years back when flips weren't as common and they had to really nail the more acrobatic tricks. I kinda feel like the level of guys back then was higher than a lot of what we're seeing now

Derp!

Bunch of sissy’s in best trick.

before every trick it literally shows all of that.. If you need a link to click because you can't type a name in thats not their problem. You should be lucky they even upload the full length of these on youtube with no gimmicks like every other sporting event does.

True but these guys are putting their lives on the line.. it's not that big of an ask 😂

@@markgerloff7928 you cant put a link on a live broadcast bro, the informations there your just being lazy

Yeah the producers should add the names and links for the sake of the athletes.

yeah i wonder what is up to

I don't remember Pages ever doing best trick, both of his one-of-a-kind tricks (the bike flip and the alley-oop flair) are on quarterpipe anyways -- he's a freestyle specialist but there's no freestyle this year :(

Same, Pages would be a cherry on top..

@@krolik1157 yeah ment more as in general, not specifically best trick. Man the fmx events used to be so lit 🥺

@@Frorideism It hit a ceiling which is in a lot of ways pretty understandable. An FMX accident is just too dangerous for progression to occur the way it does in other extreme sports unless some serious concessions are made. Bruce Cook paralyzed himself trying to become the first person in the world to pull off a double frontflip, and just recently we lost BMX rider Pat Casey to an FMX accident. Over at Nitro Circus, they progress the sport a bit more because they have mechanical "cheater" ramps that make frontflips easier to do, and also have safer landings -- they switched from dirt landings to resi landings way sooner than the X Games did, and now use inflated landings for their FMX best trick comp. (They also have ramps that launch the riders higher into the air, which makes the softer landings even more necessary.) As a result, at Nitro World Games we've seen KOD frontflips, double frontflips, rock solid frontflips, KOD double backflips, la-z-boy frontflips, and more...Harry Bink won the last Nitro World Games best trick comp with a triple backflip. X Games is sticking with the same ramps, with no mechanical kickers, and only just switched from dirt landings, so you're going to see a lot more of the same...slight variations on double backflips and frontflips, with the occasional body varial. There really aren't any variations of a single backflip that are as difficult as a frontflip or double backflip, and trying to modify those tricks too much could easily lead to catastrophe on the jump/landing setup the X Games is still going with. Props to Rinaldo and Strong for keeping it more fresh than usual this year.

I think the fact that Rinaldo was in mid-air and not touching the bike is what made the difference.

Its freaking boring that its a frontflip the gold medal year after year, this was a breath if fresh air

A 19 year old trick that one one else tried/landed since

Concordo!!!🇧🇷

It was great to see the carolla back in the games

Yeah I’m genuinely confused as well. Like am I missing something???

Yeah, but the roll is way more difficult when you take into account the fact that he's not even touching the bike for a good 1.5 seconds in mid-air

@@Ethan-dn1wc Been done before

@@TheMentaljthat’s the cleanest time that tricks ever been pulled , Carothers missed the bar and that’s over a 75 foot jump not a 45

everybody and their mothers are doing front flip nowadays and nobody is doing the carolla. there’s your reason for the first place the trick is wayyy more technical and dangerous.

@@guigui78340 no where near as dangerous

It's a trick that's only been done once until now, almost 20 years ago

@@nigeldean3726 I'm pretty sure it's been done more times than that and it's a first for a front flip cliffhanger.

Jacko should of one tho

Nah the Corolla is way more original. No one does this trick and backflips and double backflips are too common nowadays

Dudes almost 40, how much do you really think he can step his game up?

They scared

Why would they switch to cheater ramps it would ruin x games because it takes 0 skill to front flip one

@@kingstonfmx3311 In case people want to see more variation on front flips, this is literally the first time we've seen anything beyond a no-handed front flip at X Games. I'd personally have preferred the cheater ramps to seeing the same no-handed front flip winning gold however many years in a row it was. But the ramps definitely do make it easier.

Jacko got robbed
