Men’s Snowboard Streetstyle Qualifier and Final | Dew Tour Copper 2024

[Applause] that was a clean nice landing yeah that was a very smooth run a lot of technicality being thrown up top there’s uh really no hesitation to throw a 270 out here there’s not a lot of room to even think like you just have to go into muscle memory here cuz the

Features are packed so closely together it’s kind of stressing me out impressing me also but you know Liam’s probably going to want to square up that front board a little more as as we get a replay on that but again I’m impressed by that backside 270 going

Into such a dangerous rail to do that but you think that was better than first R I do not okay he doesn’t either Liam gets 85.3 three but still sitting on that 9 flat so he is in a decent position to make the transfer Benny milm up

Next Benny milm just fan favorite in this kind of event early adopter if you will front board switching up able to hold eyes oh my gosh very rapid Pace going on right now another pretzel boom right through that section heading for that wall ride again okay fan favorite they like that

Wall R yeah that’s a good one Benny’s kind of a master or is definitely a master of both the technical rail Maneuvers but he also is so good in the air so that kind of featur really suits him 100% okay so this run looked so good a

Little early off early on that second feature and then the bottom feature off a little bit early too so some room but I think he’s going to improve on the first run score I think yeah he wants that 270 pop out there the backside wall

Right pops out of that into a lip slide and then tries to pop it in 2 70 out yeah sometimes you would think in run one you wouldn’t want to hit a wall unless you’re literally h a wall yes yes 8.66 for run number two

He’s going to hold on to that first run score top two move out of this bracket and Nate H will have his second run here momentarily Focus up in the top little bit of pressure being the winner from last year but I know he can manage

It right onto that barrier rail oh love to see a board slide into a press That’s class barley grind right there classy another good one gaps over that feature not sure if that was intentional oh Nate just gets a little bit bucked onto the tail and goes down upper section was so

Strong it’s interesting having Nate dropping right after Benny too because they went head tohe in finals last year so a little bit of extra pressure there yeah there it is I loved it that see you don’t see that as much that’s the kind of nuanced trick that I just

Nerd out about in a street event when you go sideways board slide and then you pop into a press not something that you see that often it’s different it’s fresh I love it and that’s what the that’s what the judges want too they don’t want to just see the same old stuff these

Riders have such a giant bag of tricks to pull from as we head straight back up to the top Sam about to drop for his third and final run 6233 is what he’s trying to build upon to get into first place you need to

Top a 90 the 8366 is what you need at least to get into the transfers position yeah a little bit of a last chance scenario heading into this switch there he goes That’s I think what he was looking for on that into the front board pretzel out love to see that

Heading into this little drop down section manages a little nose heavy on that but makes it through and off a little early not sure that’s going to do it for Sam Klein but the kids all smiles yeah it’s tough with the level of competition with these Riders you know

You have to be uh you have to be perfect off everything even in round one then just take a look up here how much speed management is done between this first feature and then right here to slow it down you got throw brakes on or else you just end up jumping over that

Rail feature yeah 100% wasn’t I think he just wasn’t really able to manage the speed exactly like he wanted got a little off his Edge in that first uh hit and I think it maybe set him up a little bit wonky going through the run though

He does kind of managed to hold on to it for the most part though he comes off a little early just a fun show though yeah all right so it’s going to be interesting to see what his score is I don’t think he’s going to top that 83.

66 62.3 three for run number three so Sam put on a great show out here straight back up to our current leader this is Liam about to go for his third and final run already done some damage run number one is a massive 90 yeah there’s going to be a tornado warning on

The course after the amount of 270s that are going on in this run he’s mixing it up at the top there into this storage container switch 270 onto that down into the electrical box the Press into the slide there it is again class that was insane completely different line and that’s what the

Judges want too I mean that’s really going to play into things later on when the judges are using the combined scoring for the final round and if uh his riding is showing any indication he’s going to make it to that final round that’s when mixing things up is

Really going to play into it let’s take a look at this run once again wow goes into this regular half cap and then boom switch backside 270 into this ah yeah here we go look at this switch back 270 brings it back love that fights his body’s natural wanting to go one more

Rotation this is sick I think that was rad that little press t one yeah into 5 oh God and just so much pop out of that last rail that was an amazing run that’s even better than run number one I think I’d say so as well 88 flat I guess the

Judges don’t think so but we think so but you’re making it on to the transfer position nonetheless Benny milum third and final run looking to add some space here up his score a little bit because he knows what house dropping next No One Is Safe here you go Benny super technical

Up top heading in switch front board switch up to board slide front board switch up to board slide again way better execution on this run right through that clack Miss into this wall here we go will it oh switches It Up On Us wall ride to front board it looks good looks smooth

Come on up just a little bit early little bit early but he’s still in that position right now the 83.6 6 upper section was really so strong takes such good board control to maneuver these quick switch UPS on these rails now again sometimes in the streets

You’re looking at a long maybe 20 30t rail here it’s a little bit more concise a little bit more close in so to really be switching up in between these rails it takes a lot of control yeah I mean that’s that’s straight directly from the Hollywood line that is

Experience on the Hollywood line at troll hogen right there yeah and the these first two rails up top there was a lot of technicality being thrown right there switch 50 Gap 180 there I’d love to see him you know mix up that Clackamus a little bit but that

Is crazy the backside wall ride popping out into a front board 8133 for his third and final run he’s still looking good nit house will be the last person to have a say whether or not Benny is going to be able to make that position to transfer on to the next round Nate

Our winner from last year it’s uh Ben’s going to be biting nails right now yeah here he goes keeping that first trick the same the forward slide to press now he’s going switch into this solid land right there transfering over that rail still not sure if that’s his

Intention oh and goes down out of the 450 I was waiting for the 450 to come out I knew we wouldn’t get out of the first round without seeing a 450 Nate Goes Down upper section was real strong yeah he was looking really really good that was a

Nailbiter but that’s the nature of the street style it is the big the full pull streets don’t take prisoner no all right so let’s talk about what went right on his run but unfortunately you know the replay has other the replay the replay wants to

Show us what went wrong the 450 pop out just a little bit tow heavy going for a 360 and then some you know if you’re looking at it maybe he was just trying to land in a nice little Euro carve there you know that could be Innovative renie renie conas right so

Nate will not transfer on so it’ll be Liam and Benny who will make it on into the second round so congrats to them but we are not even close to being done yet but before we move on to the next round let’s go down to Chris Co who’s with I

Don’t know what he’s doing down there what do you got going on Chris hell yes Benny Liam welcome to the battle brackets how the hell do you go from the most raging practice session party ever to the serious business of snowboarding like that I mean it’s a bit distracting

But having the crowd here to Hype everyone up is super sick and I think it Le into the energy a lot Benny you’ve been here before how you going to keep this momentum say it again how you going to keep the momentum you built from here

Last year honestly just have fun I guess I don’t know keep it easy keep it mow just have fun just do it the battle bracket is about to be on thanks Chris all right guys hang it out up here the VIP booth and I had to pull Shawn

Compare for you like coming off the skateboard trying to snowboard and hit some rails I you know I I mess around in the park a little bit but not like these guys that’s for sure you know I I’m used to trucks and wheels and locking in that

Way I don’t understand how they lock in over here but but um man it’s really impressive to watch and yeah I’ve been coming here for the last 10 years now so I’m really psyched to be here for the 20th anniversary heck yeah well it’s good to have you I saw you flipping

Probably one of the craziest Heats of the evening starting off with Sam taxwood we have Brandon Davis Luke Winkleman Pat FAA this is going to be a heater yeah this is like a 50/50 split two riders that make their bones in the streets and two that come from a slop

Stop background Sam taxwood of course A Street Rider in be andry ATV Sam taxwood starting off switch nice little lip slide on that box feature going out that storage too much gas missing that rail down there big gap back lip on that drop down feature not quite able to hold on

To that bottom rail Sam taxwood kind of his entry into the competitive Rail Jam game the kids looking good in a hockey helmet right now that’s right he’s the only one wearing a hockey helmet out here which you know hey it’s icy it’s interesting cuz Liam brle is the Canadian

So this a little bit too much speed tries to get that 270 Taps it just a little bit just brushes the end of the rail I love this massive Gap backli he’s going to want to get a little bit more on top of that I know that he can do it you

Know he’s I think he’s shaking out a little bit of the contest Jitters but Sam tax would don’t let him fool you he’s a competitive guy you know I think he could come to play here Stacks putting up a 40 on run number one he gets two more chances at this Brandon

Davis coming up next coming out of big barar California I mean this kid can do everything yeah you know don’t let Brandon Davis F I think he’s out here kind of claiming oh you know I don’t really do the competition thing anymore I know for a fact this kid could go all

The way oh 100% dude look at this just so clean when you grow up riding the parks at Bear you you grow up riding park very very yo look at that Gap out and over onto the Jersey barriers wow that was a solid run opener I mean Brandon’s been spending most of

His season the last couple years in the back country filming in Alaska all over and uh feel like the rails just come second nature to him yeah look at this here watch how clean all of his tricks are the execution on him super smooth puts himself in perfect position on the

Rails there’s that 270 perfectly between the bindings that’s what every Rider is looking for lining That Thing Up 90° there we see this kind of innovative Gap but not able to stay quite on top of that like he might have liked but a nice stylish 270 ging over that down

S that was a solid run Brandon Davis is going to put up a meaty score on that one 8233 two more runs left to go Luke Winkleman up next Luke is I mean this kid just came off a big win at the uh Red Bull heavy metal competition

Starting that thing switch cab one into a press going 270 over that elbow going 1,000 milph as well incredibly fast oh butter into this bottom section backside 270 Luke winman this kid he’s a slope style but he also films in the street check his footage out in the bloom movie this

Kid can do it all he’s put on a show this year absolute strong Contender you know one of the names that if I was a betting man I’m looking at Luke winkl oh 100% I feel like Luke is kind of uh born from the old guard of snowboarding in

The early 2000s when you had to do it all and you had to up through competing pretty much and he does it all I mean his video clips this year were insane this is what you liked right here Stan onto those Jersey barriers you know we’ve been seeing a little bit of I’m

Going to say it we’ve been seeing a little bit of side railing going on on that feature you know they’re kind of on the side they’re not really on top of it I’m not in love with that but Luke Winkleman right there showing how it’s done staying right on top of that thing

Smooth winlan 8766 on run number one remember top two scores Advance out of this heat Pat fava is up next just one of two favas bicycle helmet check mustache double check we are ready Pat FAA actually biked here is the only way to get up by 70 yes

It’s true 50/50 on that first rail ooh backside 270 into that onto this storage little bit of a bobble there on the storage crate going into Clackamus head into this final feature switch switch 270 able to put it down a little shakier than I might have thought

You know just one it’s first run of three it’s got time got time I think you know Pat the Elder of the favas is a very very consistent Street Rider he has so many podiums under his belt so we’ve got some more to see from him yeah and

He was all over this course too lot of riding back and forth in between features over to the left carving over to the right I think the bike helmet kind of makes him look more aerodynamic than normal sporty as hell yes it’s like a little tour to

France look at this right here that 270 hard way comes off just a little bit early that’s that kind of side rail I’m talking about you know like not able to really square up stay on top of that thing it’s that kind of that kind of technique that’s going to propel you

Into that head-to-head round all right Sam taxwood straight back up and into it pat FAA gets a 7 3.66 for his first attempt through starts off switch 270 out of that boom lot of switch riding from Sam Taw there it is there it is mey back lay

From Stacks what I tell you Stax was just warming up yeah he doesn’t play that was a beauty you know a lot of these street style events again birthed from filming in the streets and the kind of Technique we just saw with Sam on that Gap back lip that’s exactly

How events like this come to exist in the first place I got to say it’s just kind of a treat watching Stacks in this setting unusual and exciting oh s w I love that yeah it was that was perfect that clip will live in my head

Rentree for the rest of the night I think wow rent prices are so expensive so that’s really lucky yeah copper is not cheap ain’t cheap up here all right so looking for a decent score from Sam taxwood look at that oh big gap wow that

Really gives you an idea of how far he was gapping come on let’s give Stacks a 79 he’s creeping on it I’m curious to see what else Sam taxwood is thinking what else he’s got in the bag if he’s going to if that competitive switch is

Going to flip on hard to say Brandon Davis sitting on an 8233 Brandon Davis uh choosing a directional board I’ve just noticed here you never know when you could hit the pop yeah switch back lip solid 270 and 270 out but a little bit of a bobble makes up for it though

On the storage container he seems strong there he is right on top of that drop down rail 50 Gap front board back to switch that’s classy so the only criticism really is that top rail came off a little bit early got a little squarely in between the first two

Features but I mean other than that back flip that 270 270 off but just gets a little wild in the transfer onto the storage container talk about saving it though I think you know if that was me between those and I edged like that and

Lost it I would be in the crowd at that point so that is just so beautiful see how edges right into that leans into it puts himself right on top perfect the Canon lip to lip slide I mean that’s heavy duty especially since you’re landing on you know that cement Yeah all right 79. 66 for run number two he’s still sitting on that 8233 straight back up to the top for Luke wilman’s second run through Luke sitting on top right now with that 8766 Luke winlan has been traveling all over came from Europe he’s going back to

Europe but he’s here at the D now hoping to walk away with some Hardware ooh solid 270 over that elbow rail 50 c oh right in the Winkle berries ouch a hard pause for that one patent pending oh man that just goes to show Luke winlan unwilling to quit at any

Time he’s not a quitter Luke is not a quitter slides almost into the Air Force Banner still decides you know what let’s jib it goes for a bit of a French press on the rail watch this right here he just gets a little bit bucked as he

Lands gets it back bumps off and then just ends up hi oh gut Buster I mean good solid Ollie yeah that was a I mean he was just adding stuff bat FAA about to drop in for his second run you know I think what’s throwing me is

The button up with the bike helmet is kind of a um getting ready for the work sporty Vermont Lumberjack who likes to cycle on the weekends I’m a fan ooh nice back to there we see Pat FAA just cycling through his tricks here heading into thank you slowing the uptick Mary that’s good

Oh there we go Pat bring bringing the super tech here at the bottom just Switching gears yes trying I’m trying to keep up there we go P FAA we saw you know I’m I’m curious to see if he’s going to mix up that first 5050 it’s a little

Uncharacteristic okay did you see the subtlety of the Olli up onto the ramp to get up there that was some crazy Bardon yeah Pat fava I mean he’s an incredible rail rider it’s like his style is so oh that was just so squared up his style is

So good and he’s just got an Immaculate back tricks you know the kid is not afraid to do a 450 no that is for sure got a good disaster too he’s also not afraid to lock into a heel Edge on the ride up but he pulled it clean nice work Pat

7633 he’s got one more run all right two runs down we have one run left left to go Sam taxwood people’s champ Salt Lake City local ass sulan of the streets such a pleasure to have him here in Copper here we go hockey temper let’s get

It okay looks like he’s going to mix things up a little bit 270 onto that little bit of a wash but he sees he’s got to mix things up now he’s just going to have a little fun with it little Nolly poop over that that flat bar again perfect the kid front

Boards like nobody I know so Sam taxwood having a little bit of troubles on run number three but putting on a great show and as Stan said that Gap over to back lip or front board that was probably one of the heaviest moves that we’ve seen here this

Evening yeah going from filming video Parts showing up having to do it in front of a massive crowd of people no easy task despite that Bobble still gives the crowd something to look at Brandon Davis he’s currently in but that could change Pat fava still

Has one more run to go so here we go Brandon Davis switch lip slide stay switch on that 270 back to his regular stance making nice Y how is landing up on top of that on his heels in that car I can’t wait to see that again Precision oh the crowd liken that

One I’m liking that one that was a sick run we’re starting to see some of these Riders open up explore some of these different Gap options that we haven’t really been able to see it’s still run one in the replay you’re going to see him pop up onto the storage feature and

Land on his heels and lock in just so he can set himself up it was crazy to me jumps up locks onto his heels almost carves off of the storage box and then this Gap over to lip slide again and there we have that nice here he goes nice right between the

Bindings like we like to see heading into this nice Gap like we were talking about starts on the side props his body up to stay on top of it that’s how it’s done then this backside 270 off of the cannon rail so Brandon Davis already in a good transfer position with that

8233 gets an 83 flat upset for his final run so he’s looking good Pat FAO will be the last one to come down that can possibly bump into that transfer position Luke Winkleman already sitting pretty solid right now so Luke is definitely moving on Brandon is the only

One that’s going to have to be sweating P Pat faa’s last run WN man probably just hoping to stay on his feet here but starting things off switch into that tail press solid 270 back into regular and this is where he bobbled it last time he’s able to hold

On that’s a great start oh buttery smooth 270 going into that and and then this final switch front board 270 bringing things back to regular the kid’s got it all he’s got a deep bag of tricks he brings them out on all the features Luke winlan this kid’s a champ

Yeah and it’s I mean it’s very rare to see Luke Bobble or not land something I mean his consistency plus his stalle is kind of you know part of his Pros I really like the uh the half cab uh tail I think that’s such a nice really class

That’s a that’s what we call a video part trick I like that a lot you know start off switch do a switch front side 180 land in a tail press something you might see in a video grass movie yeah that was perfect top to bottom Luke with an 87 what is this

Going to be he’s an 8866 so jumps up just a little bit looking pretty good he’s in for sure but he’s looking good with his form going into the next round so Pat FAA will be the last one to come down and possibly do some damage and

Bump Brandon Davis out of that transfer position and if there’s anyone that can handle the pressure show up it’s Pat fa all right here we go Pat lining himself up for this first rail okay switch lit fixing switching that first rail up I was curious if he was going to

Do that backside 270 going into the storage crate other solid 270 as he heads into Clackamus that was perfect it’s the 450 oh the pressure is on ooh now I’m going to let you guys kind of dissect this one because you’re going to have to put that up against

Brandon Davis’s run oh man this is this is a tough one I think the thing that was nice about Pat’s run is that it was very smooth very very little uh you know body movement very little wow it just was smooth yeah totally never really lost an edge kept a pretty sturdy line

Through this whole thing and of course caps it off with a trick that’s one of a good amount of money this year so far that 450 you know I think when I look at that after mixing up that top rail I think it’s I think it’s highly possible

That could take Brandon Davis I agree I think adding the 450 house squared up he was in the clus county rail this very strong full pull will we see a fava moving on he’s got to beat that 83 judges taking their sweet time with this one about the only time you see the

Crowd go Quiet waiting on the scores right now a lot of deliberation going on much deliberation stress is rising in the booth right now bike helmet 84 and he moves on we got one Faba into the next round Brandon Davis though putting on an insane show let’s go down to Chris cotay

Chris is in the crowd at the end of the day it was the mustach in the bike helmet that came through hell yes did it in the clutch right there let’s go dour baby let’s run it weing top qualifier in that heat that was Heavy all the way through this is

One of the fastest courses I’ve ever seen what’s it look like when you’re flying down this thing I’m not seeing much to be honest I’m just soon as I land turning my head hoping I’m in line for the next feature so I I’m just cruising trying to figure it out as I go

Still all right these guys are still unlocking this course more battles coming up one more heat to go two more Battlers have entered the arena it’s about to get hectic all right thanks Chris we’re moving into heat number three starting things off with h Shawn Mal’s favorite snowboarder Nick baayen

Apparently yes I you know somehow not surprised to hear that Nick bayen has a special energy that especially the people of Colorado you know Nick B’s a Colorado local himself kid got Colorado on his back right now and uh once Shawn Malto Hypes you up how can you not have

Little bit of boost going into Only One Direction you can go is up so in this next Heat we have the other fava Joey fava Darcy sharp who is an absolute rail Wizard and this is going to be a really hard heat to come out of and Frank Jin

As well so this is like this is going to be a very Sizzler of a heat all right let’s jump back into it enough of us here in the booth let’s head back out to the action out on the street style course as I said Nick Bay will start us off

There he is Cal collected we spoke to him last night he basically said every feature was his so I love that mentality just going out to destroy it Nick baen full beard since the fourth grade starting things off switch nice little Gap transfer with that board

Slide boom big gap kissing the rail at the end there coming off a little bit early Shawn Malto is going to take note of that that’s right you know he Nick B comes from a competitive background he’s he’s hardcore filmer now but he’s a no stranger to the contest yeah he was a

Slope dog for a long time he is a wizard in the air as well yeah starting things off switch there no easy task putting that one down solid board slide transfer there this is where he gets that little kiss on the rail on that front board

Just Big Air Time lines that thing up boom makes connection puts it down heads into that final feature which is really where he’s going to want to clean it up for his final run obviously coming off a little early there so Bon as everyone else will get three attempts Bon’s first attempt is

Down what is he going to get for a score 4933 for run number one for Nick bayen we should get Shawn Malto down there to Hype him up yeah Sean could you get in the Corral hype your boy up yeah it’s an athlete support speaking of hyping your

Boys up Joey fava about to drop going I don’t know what’s going on there he just signaled the plane there’s a plane coming in for a landing here he’s signaling something big gap 270 over that whole flat part s go oh my Joey FAA doesn’t slow down just comes out

Firing oh and look at that that was beautiful you know what I like about this and what I think we’re going to see a lot of from Joey fava today he’s taking big gaps where some Riders starting at the top of the rail seeing their way all the way through Joey FAA

Taking a different approach little bit more air time gapping over a lot of the features and I saw in practice he’s got a little something cooking for us and I know we’re going to see I think he’s saving it though because it could be potentially devastating for the board

Under his feet so we will be saving that for a little bit later but man oh man Joey FAA would love to join his brother can you imagine if this shakes out Faba on Faba in the battle brackets that I don’t know who I would pick in that

Matchup I mean Joey is so insane he’s got that Perfect Blend of precision and amplitude or for lack of a better word 6933 so Joey Faba moves into the lead remember top two scores Advance onto the next round Darcy sharp up next coming out of Canada an insane slope

Style Rider incredibly technical on rail features no I I will say that Darcy sharp has uh zero regard for personal safety when he ENT a course like this not any regulator in his brain that says maybe I shouldn’t do that left behind No Stranger at the podium oh

Little layback on top little surf style love to see that oh lip slide 270 out big backside 270 Gap able to stay on it pretty nice and then a 50 oh look like his lens popped off right there or someone’s lenses on the ground straight carving through the

Banners at the bottom high fives for everyone at the crowd Darcy sharp is a man of the people and he’s in the people Darcy sharp up top look at this little count Dragula ooh wow that was a good one yeah you like that love to see that shout out

Lucas magon you know just lay back throw your hands down on there one of the Godfathers of Street Darcy sharp just kind of channeling that energy Canadian Warrior here look at that lot of airtime travel as he gaps out onto those Jersey barriers to that backside

270 and then watch here comes out just right into the banners yeah just need a little more Runway right there look at how hard it is to see gets in there and then to hold on and to pull that 270 out I mean that was a make that was a fullon

Make he just had to throw the brakes on sure the judges are looking at that what happened here kind of got a little bit Wild on the pop out takes uh some of the fans beverage with him on that one the crowd is hype they like it you

Get some lovely parting shots from uh Dar Darcy sharp waiting for his score SEC upper section was great 61.3 three so Darcy moves into that second play spot for the time being but then next we have a Canadian Destroyer all the way from Quebec Frank Jovin yeah Quebec City a breeding ground

Of Street snowboarding some of the most iconic Street Clips have been filmed there Frank Jin born within it here today to show us what Quebec can do oh that was a nice combo going switch into that staying switch into the electrical box nice little front board

Off that 50 transfer 270 out the crowd’s jumping he seems pretty excited got a little bit of a Canadian face off I’d say a friendly Canadian face off when it comes to Frank Jin and Darcy sharp East first West I mean that was precise taking a look back at this I

Mean look at every every Landing very very clean for Jin oh actually came off a little early there I spoke too soon just a Smidge yep comes off a little early going to want to clean that up going into this switch half cap boom front board bam right between the bindings Stop look right here as he pops out into this transfer gets the 270 pop out total control gaps over lip slide 270 out this Run’s growing on me as I watch it more no it was nice it was it was very very clean just that one little Bobble in it

But I think that’s a good uh Foundation to build on 82 so Frank taks over the lead Joey Faba still sitting in that transfer spot remember we only take those two top scores on to round number two straight back up to the top Nick B Destroyer yeah he’s got his footage this

Year Knights of the brown table little bit of Street little bit of pow but he’s given us a nice Street offering here today A Goofy Rider carrying a lot of speed into that able to big gap not able to see that all the way through oh how’s that gnly over see

This is what I expected to see from Nick B you see a lot of these competitive Riders um you know they’re throwing in a 270 anytime they can Nick Bay he’s going fast he’s going big to me it’s like he’s doing it for the culture yeah I think

That’s the way he’s kind of always ridden everything he does he takes his own line and he does it with such freaking good style B carrying so much speed that 50/50 and then boom gaps out to the back lip not able to ride that one like I’m

Sure he wants to but he’s got another chance and that that’s a massive c yeah that was huge he was going to say it’s a little bit of a treat getting to watch Nick B back in contest mode yeah so Nick what are they going to give him for run number two

57 57 for Nick B he’s got another run coming not bad he says not bad not bad Joey fava will be up next looks focused yeah maybe thinking about what he’s going to eat later hard to tell with with Joey fa I don’t think he’s too concerned here we go Joey kind of

Skipping that first feature start things off with a solid switch maneuver going into a big 360 transfer that time boom there’s that back lip on the Clackamus County back lip a trick that Joey fava has made a lot of movement with this year wow I mean uh not a lot to say

About that run uh in terms of ticking points down that was really solid and and uh definitely different than his previous run so that goes to show Joey FAA a wide array of tricks that he’s looking at here probably stomped most of in practice that big 360 transfer we see

There and then this back lip that’s dangerous kind of overturned as well I mean that was a very extended backlip wow definitely uh putting his name in the history of books is one of the back best back lips of snowboarding throwing a little grab in there for fun you know

Chucked a little grabby bretzel out he’s going to be happy with that one he’s got his dad in the crowd his brother’s here this event made for someone like Joey F all right let’s see is he going to pop up in the points 85 Joey FS moves into the lead

Wow I’m going to go say that he’s kind have on fire this season oh yeah and we are shaping up to have maybe what is potentially a fava battle it could be great fa Darcy sharp up next as you said not a lot of regards

For his uh physical being as soon as he jumps into a uh street style course coming in switch into that layback solid backside 360 out almost looks like he almost rode off the storage container but maintains that edge there we go big back 270 able to

Stay on top of that 50 Gap and wow there it is that’s what he wanted he was up on top of that thing landed so solid pressure is on right now I definitely think there’s a lot of pressure there for the number two spot with that un seat Joey right now

Yeah that was that was a heavy heavy run yeah we’re not seeing uh this trick done by a lot of riders I hope judge is taking note of that I personally Love A Creative take this is after all street style and if there’s one thing we know about Street snowboarding it’s all about

Kind of riding outside of the lines you know beating to the tune of Your Own Drum and Darcy sharp no stranger to doing just that and the blind position on that layback too I mean that’s really gnarly and and then where we saw him kind of Ken into the Corral wow lands

That one triumphantly let’s watch that again he just lands on top of it goes full statue and then pops off so there was total incomplete control on that one great pop out I think he’s going to move into the lead 88.3 three oh [Applause] yeah no surprise there Darcy sharp

Though more of a slope style Rider he’s one of those Riders that in his run always has a creative rail line and here he gets to just put that on notice all right so Frank Jovin will be the final competitor here in run number two then there will be one last attempt

To make that top two transfer spots out of this round Frank really technical up top start things off with a switch to 70 able to hold on to it unreal the way he cleaned that up oh off a little early there might not be enough heading into Clackamus nope the final feature not

Able to get that 270 either Frank Jin a little bit of a head throwback you know wasn’t exactly what he was looking for his switch game though manoo yeah everything is there but right now we’re going to talk about what kind of went wrong on that run came off just

A little bit early on that top feature and then on this feature as well not quite locking in yeah unfortunately you just can’t afford to make those kind of mistakes when you are in these bracket night no 67 for Frank Jin third and final run as

We head straight back up to the top Nick biten will be the first to drop each one of these Riders gets one more tent Darcy sharp on top right now followed by Joey fava those are the two that are moving on at this point you’re good to go Nick

Go thank you all right benen likes to carry a lot of speed wants to put on a show Bo slide into switch switch board slide mixing things up there lot of speed here lot of speed we’re going to see oh here to back lip yeah you know and as he’s pulling

Himself into the bottom again Nick baen someone who goes fast he charges he goes big he’s Shawn mto’s favorite what else can you say I mean he’s the Dark Horse of snowboarding I mean that in the best way it just like you said before he rides the way he wants to ride he’s

Doing it for the culture there you go B with that half cap board slide I’ve been uh with Nick bayen a little bit this weekend and the amount of people that come up to him and just vanan out on him generally I think uh despite the results here this is going

To be a win for Nick baen gri bayen getting a little lost on the landing of that backside lips light trans ER but who cares you know where you’re going to find Nick in about 15 minutes all right Joey FAA will have his third run right now he’s sitting looking good for that

Transfer and as we know the scores do reset after this so I’m wondering will he start to pull out even bigger transfers than the ones we’ve been seeing so far starting things off switch solid 270 there 50 big back three a to put it on a little off to the side

There’s that back lit on Clackamus County and wa buddy okay okay Joey looking up the antie on run number three give us a crab walk where’s the crab walk people want the crab walk boom there it is there it is there’s a crab walk such a crowd pleaser shout out

Scott Stevens as well for that little tail block yeah in the end there it ain’t over till Joey says so big 270 brings it back so clean here we see that 360 not able to square up quite like he might have wanted there doesn’t stop him though into this dangerous back lip yeah

There’s a lot of edge catch potential right there and then of course he says Hey brother I see your 450 and I raise you 450 backside 450 his brother did the front side version that was pretty insane run number three Joey Faba will he is very lit up right now he’s really

Working the camera just 76 they give him for run number three but it don’t matter all you got to do is have the top two scores feel like the cameraman’s probably scared of Joey at this point like are you going to eat me or you going to punch me I don’t know what’s

Going to happen Darcy sharp is up next currently sitting on top he’s going to move out of this round no matter what he’s in he’s in the driver’s seat right now so this is kind of a uh just a practice run for him not a lot of pressure in this

Run you know I have a feeling Todd it’s not going to stop him from scaring us great oh I like the switch up with the line Choice yeah he’s mixing things up maybe getting a feeling for what he might want to do in that head-to-head round warming things up boom Oh that was

Great 270 out of Clackamus heading into this Hardway 270 putting that thing down not really going to advance I think some of the scores we’ve seen before but I think he’s just on getting his legs under that was cruise control yeah just putting some feelers out trying some

Other things okay Darcy sharp he is moving on and really there’s only it’s Frank Jin who can possibly upset the Joey FAA moving on feels stressful again uhhuh it is stressful little clacking with a 270 out weing binging we got some questions yesterday uh Clackamus County is a real

Place it is there’s actually there’s a mall there that we to go to on rain days from high cbard camp we go see movies there yeah if you spent any time at this summer camp at Mount Hood you’re familiar with cl I do believe Clackamus Town Center is also where um Tanya

Harding uh took out the old KN that’s correct ice skating rank wow all right Frank Jin will be the last Rider he needs better than an 86 or he needs an 86 he needs better than an 85 which technically would be an 85.1 yeah yeah zero one even yeah now I know

Why they get you in here Todd that’s right a real math wizard we’re a bunch of math Majors over here in the booth starting things off switch solid 270 there they’re cleaning this up we saw a little bit Bobble last time not one inside onto that electrical box perfect

Front board on that into this final feature not able to get things were looking good there looking good really if he was able to get that 270 I think there would have been a run for the money situation I think Joey is breathing a sigh of relief because that

Upper section was super technical super clean but just coming off not executing the way that he intended on that final rail he wanted that 270 pop out again but those first three features oh my gosh the Precision that Jin has yeah that’s between the bindings that’s all back

Li holding down for Quebec city out here my goodness then here we saw in his last run but not able to get that 270 out like you can tell he wanted to do Frank Jin Quebec City rail royalty all right so the standings are just wait for Frank to get his score and

Make it official Frank Jin 77 7.33 so that means that Darcy sharp and Joey FAA are moving on to the round so we are now out of round one into round two this is the head to heads let’s go down to Chris cotay who’s with Darcy sharp well we

Lost Joey fava where is our fava well FAA is now on the battle brackets Dary you just sent it hard three times in a row you scared everybody in the booth you freaked us all out what can you do to top that in the battles I think uh

Consistency is key in the next round so pretty similar and uh just try to land them both clean and then try to put some together for the finals but honestly like everybody here’s so good so you’re putting your all in this first round it’s probably going to look pretty

Similar from most guys right well similar is good when you’re riding like that let’s see for Darcy sharp he’s in the battle round all right thanks Chris when we get back here we are going into the battle round head-to-head format stick around a lot more Street snow waren to come from

Everyone you know what the worst day of the year is no it’s not the day the test results come back it is of course Daylight Savings Time a time out there’s no s in daylight saving time there’s no s this just it there’s no s in daylight saving time while we

Are traveling through time where did the S time travel day where did they put the S I’ve always understood it as daylight savings time it’s optional I say don’t even experience it for yourself but if you do you move the arm the the little the the smaller of the two arms you move

It forward an hour in the spring that is what you do you spring they say spring forward spring forward daylight saving time this is hor with no s all and we are back wow yeah it’s pretty good that is uh that is can we expect maybe a nomination for that

Performance just there I’m thinking that maybe they should nominate the hair and makeup I was just going to say I feel like the hair is really the true winner in that piece yeah you know that’s uh there’s there’s a lot of there’s a lot to unpacked there all right hey so we

Are moving now into our round number two the battle bracket so it’ll be Liam up against Pat fava Luke Winkleman against Joey fava and Darcy sharp up against Benny Milam overall impression we won’t know who advances on until the end I know this is very stressful but this is what we like we

Like a little bit of drama we like a little bit of spice and spice must flow As We Know no wow yes I’m I can’t I haven’t seen the movie yet Todd can you please wait yeah Dune um spelled D E WN okay I couldn’t help but notice uh we’ve

Kind of got a little bit of a situation where it’s kind of the streets versus the slopes oh is this is heavy this is for a lot of uh a lot of cred Marbles and the street Riders versus the slop St Riders each one of these brackets kind

Of represents its own little face off you know and that’s that’s cool to see I’m actually really happy with this breakdown so we’re going to start off with Liam he’s going to be up against Pat fava in Heat number one and we’re going to zip these guys

Straight back up so there’s not going to be a lot of breathing room we’re going to know what’s happening here fared rapidly overall impression two runs let’s go starting things off switch the board slide switch into front board we’re seeing this kid do more switch UPS than anybody I

Know I can’t even keep track and then two 70 on the Clackamus able to ride through it not as clean as he’s going to want oh boy 270 in 270 out that’s Liam brierly starting things off you can tell he wants a little bit cleaner of a run I think he might need

It if he’s going against the likes of Pat fava definitely putting some pressure on the Utah Rider right now but as we’ve seen in the first round fava has multiple gears to choose from and he also has multiple options and I hope we see one of these really scary ones because that’s Fun word word from the booth uh please get scary yes but that was truly technical so this is kind like it is a contrasting Styles maybe a little bit more uh Dynamic yeah not to take anything away from that run from Liam but things could get really interesting

Right now P Faba cosplaying as a Portland bike messenger flanel and a mustache who splits wood on the weekends words slide through there big back 270 squares that thing up right onto the storage container this is looking good but I’m scared to curse him y heading into Clackamus nice backside

270 off a little early not enough to take him down so we can head into that off so we won’t know straight back up to the top serve returned you know I got to say for the longest time I felt like it wasn’t a Rail Jam until someone

Did a flip now I’m starting to feel like it’s not a Rail Jam until someone does a 450 I prefer that honestly I’d way rather see a 450 than a flip personally backside 270 squared up there there’s the 270 onto the down bar off the storage container straight into the backside 270

Gratata on the Clackamus Rail and the 450 front side to get things done at the bottom straight back up to the top Liam is going to drop and we are going to find out what their scores are after pat comes down we’ll see who advances Liam brely so far highest score

We’ve seen of the night yeah he’s kind of got a bit of a shock and awe campaign going on on this course switching that line proper going into the storage container switch 270 brings that thing back onto the electrical box oh wow kids just dancing out there yeah Liam did not come to

Play I think that’s a nice score right there you know that’s it’s it’s overall impression over these two runs I think the first one didn’t exactly go the way he wanted but I think he just had a solid answer with this second run here oh yeah he pulled that out and this was

Clean I mean look at that 27 so the body’s Instinct of course to keep spinning when you’re on that 270 but we saw him bring that back back to regular that takes a little bit more board control judge is definitely going to take notice of that well slowed down you really see

That kind of pronounced Style on the on that last feature that’s an interesting take on that last rail kind of the 270 Gap off imagine if he transfers that wow all right so we’re going to have Pat come down to answer to that here we go Pat pava let’s go he wants

It pat Faba Rail Jam a fishan a Salt Lake City here we go starting things off switch switch board slide back 270 onto the storage container just flirting with the edge there holding on to it there’s that back side 270 holds on to it might not have enough speed for the

450 oh turns out pava doesn’t need that much speed to do o did hand touch at the end wow fava fever we see fa fever can we get that person in the booth they they’re smarter than us yeah we should have thought of that that is FAA figure I don’t you know

I don’t know well the FAA figure is here in the audience I know the FAA figure is here back 270 and then check this out B flirts with the edge of the storage just a solid carve hangs edge off the end of that thing straight hanging

Edge back 270 on the Clackamus not the cleanest one we’ve seen of him all night but able to redirect and get that thing going and there it is the 450 not able to really put that one between the bindings like you would have liked this is going to be tough okay the

Rider that is moving on will be it will be Liam with his super tech run great showing by Pat pava here this evening all right Chris cot is going to get tight battle tight battle you took out one of the fava Brothers right there you’re now in the finals the 20th

Anniversary of dour what were you doing 20 years ago when dour started uh 20 years ago I was one year old so not doing anything at all we got a D baby right here good luck buddy a do baby do babies we love the do babies I like this Liam beerley sent

Setting Ontario on the map for real Riders right now okay so Liam has moved on officially looks like Luke Winkleman will be up against Joey fava and as you said it really is the battle between slope style gurus and boys of the street yeah and of course

Luke does he does cross over into that street section as well but he’s in a very talented slope Rider yeah I think Luke’s one of the Riders uh one of the more successful examples we’ve seen of a contest writer that’s put out uh video footage that is respected by oh the

Stre classic you got to respect the streets and the streets will respect you back is what I’ve always said you had that full Street part you I do you should hear me 50 Gap front board now he’s going switch switch to perfect thatn sty on that Luke is in Cru

Control looking for the pretzel wasn’t able to find it Luke a little bit of a problem perhaps leaving the door open for a fava but check this out everything was going so well up top yep right between the bindings there perfect management of speed right between the bindings even a little

Blunted on the back there and into this final one you’re looking for that pretzel you can see him looking over his shoulder kind of gearing up looking to spin 270 the unnatural hard way not able to get it done all right Joey fava will have to answer to

That undeniable fan favit oh that was that was really good that was good that was good that was something that’s never been said mm- big 27 270 out now he’s going switch caring a lot of speed that back flip oh okay okay all right so you know clean

Landing through that pressure’s on Luke at the top right now I think it will be a better score just simply by the nature of him sticking everything yes yeah taking a second look it this just beautiful the big 27 to the down yeah check it out right

Here almost squares it up comes off a little bit early kind of fights the heel Edge drift such a fan of that back BL and stands up tall and gets the 270 pop out straight back up to the top Luke Winkleman of course even a run like that

Is not safe with luk winman dropping in next yeah Luke winlan I think someone who manages pressure well I’m imagining that uh we might see something special here he’s mixing things up solid front board on the barriers switch up now he’s going switch into this transfer board slide ooh that

Was nice chucking the brakes on switch 50 through cus County that’s just a classy move and 270 out like it’s nothing okay he’s happy with that one that’s a nice run that is that’s a nice run Luke I like the switch 50 on the firecracker rail right there we have not

Seen that yet this weekend yeah there’s there’s certain tricks that when you look at them they seem scary just by the way they look there’s other tricks that are subtly really challenging a switch 50/50 on that Clackamus County rail that’s an example of a trick that might

Look a lot easier I love the the above view you can just tell the momentum that they’re carrying and how they’re you know trying to Pace themselves in between the oppos I Les there’s just so much happening there’s that switch 50/50 that is sick wow and then this is just

Quintessential luk winam and he does that trick in his sleep okay this uh this is heavy all right this will be the answer Joey fava for his second run I have a feeling there he is I I have a feeling we’re going to see you know a little something

From Joey favon this round Joey give the people what they want starting things off switch oh Joey Joy fa hands up putting on a show right now you know I’ve never seen someone claim uh the whole run while after falling but I’m kind of here for it strategy strategy

Look the camaraderie we love to see it you know these contest Riders know that it helps the judge is when you throw a claim up at the end you know and Joey fff’s got an interesting idea I’ve fallen and now I’m just going to claim for the rest of the Run that’s [Laughter]

Smart all right so here we go who is going to move on you heard it there first from Joey Luke winkelman will move on but big shout outs to Joey FAA what a great performance here let’s go down to Chris who is with the Mover honor of this Heat

Bracket yo ner NES of Steel right there FAA had you up against the ropes you came back with that last trick was insane welcome to the finals my guy thank you brother you going to step it up what do we got going as you head into this big final

Episode I’m cruising I don’t know we’ll see maybe switch some stuff up I don’t know keep keep Landing calm cool collected our second finalist of the night is set thank you Chris CH Chris is freezing I know he is cuz his lips aren like his brain is is he wants him to say

Things and his lips are not letting him say the things could someone get cotay some more hand warmers please the kid is he’s got so many hand warmers all over him right now looks like a patchwork quilt all right let’s check out we also have a best trick US Air Force best

Trick that is up for grabs here this evening what are the nominees for that let’s check it out and this will be from run number one no surprise to see Liam brely on on the best trick list been switching it up all day and this is kind of a moving Target

All through the event it’s the best trick of the entire event and this is what we’ve seen so far that has been sick so that’s he’s right now standing in that US Air Force best trick okay straight back up to the top Darcy will be up against Benny milm Darcy sharp dropping

Now this is a heavy matchup two very very different styles two very very talented Riders and uh both of them send it very precisely so this is anyone’s game right now starting things off regular little bit of a Smith grind right there I’m just going to call that

Out boardside Gap 50 back one out he’s going switch into clus switch board slide through that that’s nice nice and smooth garc from top to bot bottom no mistakes super clean lot of switch in there I can I think that was a little bit of his strategy right move into this

Next round that’s a Smith grind I’m that’s a Smith grind a trick we do not often see in a snowboard contest sea Mal he’s he sees Shawn Malto here and he’s like I’m want to Smith this he’s like I want to be the favorite over bayen I want I want who

Yeah that’s what we’re talking about now but Darcy just putting on the clinic right there 270 on the hard way up and over taking some risk that that’s great I love the hard way that good literally every time I ride a rail it’s the hard way yes okay I can’t yeah

Benny milm we’ll have to answer to dar’s Precision he’s got a very unique style he’s so cruisy on land and then when he gets on the rails it just shows in his style so technical so smooth switch board slide 270 50 nice big gap 270 there going into Clackamus board slide through that

There’s that walren he’s looking at the 270 he’s looking at it I think he wants to get that but that was a very smooth run completely different approach strategic too put it down put a little pressure on the opponent and then ratchet it up y there’s no hanging out

Down here at the bottom they’re straight back up to the top let’s take a look now off yeah not a lot of time to think when you’re switching things up like that but Benny milum managing it perfectly well there we see that perfect style lets it breathe as he pokes his

Nose out there and then that quick rewind going into that board slide through the waterfall Rail and then transfer there if I had to guess knowing Benny milum I think what he’s looking at is Boom all right and then hit that and then 27 27 I I think he’s looking at

That and I know we can do it all right straight back up to the top Darcy sharp for his second run in the battle bracket Darcy you’re good just getting his music right maybe listening to a breathing podcast yeah that’s what I want some some ASMR yeah yeah just listening to

Clackamus County rail sound effects on repeat this is soothing sound I didn’t like it it is yeah all right here we go I’m surprised there’s not more of an ASMR YouTube presence for that kind of thing it’s mostly a lot of eating well Mary if this doesn’t work out you could

Look into this okay another different line for Darcy sharp goes for that Darcy drag boom lip 270 out heading into this thing regular stance big backside 270 squared up on that thing 50 Gap there’s the 270 how smooth do you want it to be ladies and gentlemen Darcy sharp in

Cruise control western Canada came to play today so he definitely kind of called back to his first runs there so we saw in his first run in this segment definitely tried to mix things up but then kind of went back to what he knew the judges liked for this second one

Which is smart it’s strategy he’s he’s just a strategic man what did you call the Darcy slide Darcy drag Darcy drag yeah that was good and he comes down here watch how smooth this is backside 270 Square it up fully balanced on top and then the Gap

Over with the 270 out perfectly riding out that was a great combo those last two features perfect yeah that’s a big score yeah I think Benny mym’s definitely going to want to bring something special after watching two runs like that go down just two really solid options all

Right so this will do it the last run of our battle brackets in round two Benny milm what has he got he has that wall ride redirect onto the rail starting things switch casual looking switch up Ohan ring his switch oh Benny goes down and unfortunately for him it really

Cost you in this round so I think uh by virtue of that we’re going to see Darcy move on easily but a sick showing nonetheless let’s get the official ruling here before we say anymore well the crowd knew it the judges they might know it here in a

Second there you go Darcy sharp making the finals there Benny all right hell of an effort right there Darcy you said you were going to send it now you got to send it just a little bit more little bit more not going to lie Benny was the

One guy round two I didn’t want to go up in gston so heavy match up hyp to make her through this final is going to be fun thanks for every everybody coming out Let’s Get Loud for the finals come on yeah there we go the finals are set

History is about to go down here at the 20th anniversary of D tour let’s go let’s stay warm let’s party come on it’s Saturday night someone Chris just carve open somebody and get inside he’s trying to speak that one into existence yeah just just as long as you keep the lips

Moving something will happen all right so this is what it looks like now Liam Luke and Darcy those are our final Riders and the way it shakes out two more runs will decide the champ stick around more slope style Street Style [Applause] Style Wo refresh your senses with a wave of tropical lime flavor Mountain Dew Baja Blast in stores Now Rockstar Energy to help me take it to the next level now more of the Is this It this is it Doour is brought to you by Mountain Dew do the do Safeway Colorado’s local grosser since 1926 all right we are about to wrap up the evening’s festivities here at the men’s street style Under The Lights here at Copper and there’s a lot of people out here Chris cotay wishes they all

Would hug him down there in the Corral because the boy is freezing Luke winkelman up against Darcy sharp and Liam brle for the final each one of these Riders will get two runs down through the course and that will determine our winner yeah we’re looking

At uh the podium here but the order of it still to be determined of course but we know each of these Riders walking away with some Hardware all of them vying for that first place spot and also up for grabs that Air Force best trick that could happen in this round uh right

Now it’s looking like I think Liam has got that kind of locked up here for the time being we could see some more crazy stuff go down in this round yeah I think it’s uh it’s his to lose at this point um in terms of the best trick because

You know he’s mov moving through this thing with uh speed agility and uh more combined spins than maybe a average slow Style run all right so best score will win this thing each router gets two runs through Luke Winkleman will start us off in this final we are almost down to the wire

Here Luke winkman coming out of Blowing Rock North Carolina one of a an impressive scene of North Carol Carolina Riders you got Ze Powell Brantley Mullins couple riders coming out of North Carolina putting it on the map as a shred destination Luke winkman absolutely one of those

Riders here we go three slope style technicians focusing now on the rails here in the street style here we go luk wilan starting things off cab into that press like we’ve seen him do effortlessly all day 50 Gap holds on to that edge going into another solid 270

Getting blunted on that switch front board little tweak at the end there for the people at home great start to this final finals and uh yeah I mean that was really clean yeah we saw him uh kind of mix things up at the bottom there kind

Of sticking to what he knows at the top but throwing in that switch front board at the end a nice little touch we definitely have to talk about how much riding has gone down they had a lot of practice this afternoon it’s a ton of

Runs once you make it to this final so it’s the strategy is is to leave a little something in in the tank little gas in the tank and I do think that Luke isn’t a stranger to that because he has been riding in uh rail jams a bit I mean

He had his own at uh app Mountain last year and there was so many runs I mean he’s kind of used to this format all right so let’s see what he’s going to get 82.3 three to start off this final that’s his first score he gets another

Shot at this as we go straight back up to the top to Darcy sharp now we saw Darcy in the battle brackets just go crazy yeah Darcy sharp mixing up the trick selection and uh I’ll be curious to see what he brings into this final round starting things off

Switch there’s that layback 360 out able to pull it in the end switch lip 270 going into that big backside 270 transfer coming off a little bit early holding Edge as he grinds through that bottom feature that was that was a chill trick for Darcy on

The last feature yeah and I think he you know he just didn’t square up on that 270 so he knew he needs to keep it a little bit like I said little gas in the tank for run number two remember its best run will take this a little wild on

The pop off of the wall ride feature also a testament to how good he is how all of these Riders are so good that he could have that kind of wobble and just pick it up and keep going yeah here we go Darcy there’s that Gap where he didn’t

Quite Square it up kind of just dragged his tail on the barriers and then launches over here into kind of a cril lip slide yeah you know it’s fun it’s creative it’s different it’s good to uh show the wide array of Street tricks that go down all right Darcy with a 60

To start off his campaign here he’s got another run straight back up to the top Liam brely will be our ryer that is capping off run number one been a big fan of this trick he has all day that board slide switch up into front board as does something similar

Into that flat down textbook wa I don’t think he’s made a mistake all night back 270 on Clackamus heading into this final feature 2 270 out this kid is ice cold right now we could call him Chris cot Co it’s col yeah crisp cold T yeah crisp cold day taking

A second look at Liam’s run I mean really you know no complaints here Yep this is a you know that thing that one him got him in that air Air Force best trick not as squared up as we saw in that original nomination that is just can’t begin to State how scary that

Trick is going into Clackamus blind like that 270 and 270 out he pops out of that 270 a little earlier than I’d like still I think it was it was the best run that we’ve seen come down in this final so far 9033 that is a behemoth score 9s Club

All night for Liam yeah all right straight back up to the top for run number two the final runs here in the men’s street style Luke winkman if I had to guess you know maybe if when he’s getting that switch front board at the end I know

He’s got that switch front board pretzel wondering if he might throw that in there but we’ll find out I think you have to at this point all these Riders on the podium have one switch press front 270 looking good the ti BLT is’s going switch into this

Transfer there he goes just making that drop down brings it back back okay didn’t see the pretzel but we saw a different variation stylish nonetheless luk wiam in with a solid answer in that second run not sure if it’s going to be enough to Dethrone Liam breely at this time but

Still the subtle technicality of what was going on in these tricks everything was executed perfectly Bo locking into it that’s how you do that trick yeah that is how you do that trick and then boom switch 270 bring back just fighting your body’s natural inclination to carry you all the

Way through the rotation just brings it right back and I think that’s the thing about llan is his trick selection is so nice it really is like a snowboarder snowboarder selection of Tricks could not agree more with that assessment okay so 88.6 Luke Winkleman will sit in second

Place for the time being Darcy sharp about to drop here Darcy’s got to bring it right now now or else aam will have a Victory lap Dar you’re good all right Darcy sharp is a third run all cost kind of Rider I think that the possibilities for what could happen here are

Endless start things off switch much better S on that 360 Swit two 7s going regular into the electrical box Gap over 270 not quite as squared as he wants 50 transfer 2 weaks it solid okay Darcy shark will it be enough to take down Luke winlan and move into

Second Play Sitting on a 60 right now is it better than an 88.6 6 that’s the question really cleaned up that first that second feature excuse me and to7 out that was just perfect coming up high off that storage container brings that right back to regular eyeing up this next feature

There’s that big gap 270 not as squared up as he wants but still able to muscle that transfer all right what’s it going to be Darcy sharp what will this score do for him will he jump into second Place 86.3 three just shy so Darcy sharp will go home in third Luke Winkleman in second and Liam barley will go home with the win this is a Victory lap for him congratulations goes out to Liam what are we going to get on this final run thank [Applause] you dropping

In wow okay he’s kind of mixing things up here maybe opting out of that shelter oh here we go out of nowhere musling that thing out into the final feature yeah there we go that is the way that you end an event congratulations goes down to Liam
