Truth. That added bar spin was sick though.

But Rheeder did a half cab bar, sooo I'd say that's a one up

@Jackers: No doubt Semenuk would have added a half cab bar for his second run.

@Jackers: You can see Brandon stick his arms out like he's extending for a barspin, probably scouting it out for the second run that he didn't have to take. Has also already done that and half cab tailwhip in a video part...

Hyperx (Aug 21, 2017 at 12:57)

@Jackers: Bradon actually did cab bar during last year Joyride practice

True although I'm sure Semenuk would've stepped it up on his second run if he had to. I doubt he was expecting Rheeder to one up him!

That is poor edit, FULL Highlights NOT!!!!!!!!!!!

gavlaa (Aug 21, 2017 at 3:04)

Yeah it's more like a montage you'd expect to see at the end of the coverage rather than a highlights video. I thought watching the highlights would avoid having to watch the full replay but somehow I feel I have even more questions about what happened after watching it :-) haha.

aljoburr (Aug 21, 2017 at 4:35)

@gavlaa: Yes drone would have been better than a really big drone called a helicopter

Anyone else find the TV coverage not as good as at the other events, Rotorua for instance? Those drone shots were too far away and the riders were hard to spot against the background beige.

Felt the same. Just because you can doesn't mean you should. Get rid of the helicopter too. I am sure it doesn't help with rider nerves either.

Yeah the helicopter shots really killed it for me, for example on Godzieks seat grabs, or Genons clicked table 3, it was the helicopter shot. Not being able to see the true extension really took away from the trick. There were also some shots where you couldn't see the landing, so you didn't know if the rider had made it or not

I feel pissed off about the fact that neither Rogatkin or Rheeder completed one run. Like semenuk had no direct rivals.

8 11

trickland (Aug 21, 2017 at 6:21)

Do you think Rogatkin could of beat that run? Just curious.
Does he have 12 different tricks to match the variety and difficulty of Semenuks?
Not being a dick, but i think the course might of been too long for him unf.

sharpiemtb (Aug 21, 2017 at 7:40)

@trickland: I'm sure there was a new trick in there somewhere for him. another cashroll variation or a twister variation

trickland (Aug 21, 2017 at 21:44)

@SnowshoeRider4Life: ya for sure, I've actually grown to like fire that Rogatkin has for sure. But he almost finished his run, with just the final move, and it wouldn't of happened there I don't think!?!

fatfingur (Aug 22, 2017 at 17:49)

@trickland: he only had a few more jumps to make after that barspin crash so yeah he can score higher especially with that cashroll and twister. And yeah he has more tricks in the bag.

leon-forfar (Aug 23, 2017 at 14:28)

I mean Emil Johansson gave him a run for his money. Definitely a direct rival.

Is Semenuk's victory lap post-crash bar straightening in the highlight reel?

Neechy (Aug 21, 2017 at 7:03)

Read Semenuk's lips @2:31

konrad89 (Aug 21, 2017 at 10:53)

fun yay!

Way to go Tippie!

dawgdude (Aug 21, 2017 at 16:08)

The coverage of the highlights might not of been that good but that was by far the best shot I saw of Semenuks Candy Rail or whatever that sick trick was. Love that guy! no homo

slayerdegnar (Aug 21, 2017 at 6:57)

Such a bummer so many riders crashed. Never seen anything like it before. Its gotta be the course right?

Luissabee (Aug 21, 2017 at 20:27)

Even if Nicholi had completed his run, he would not have gotten a better score than Brandon. Brandon was better in almost every jump without counting Nicholi's 1080. But you can not win the Joyride for one trick.

fatfingur (Aug 22, 2017 at 17:52)

One trick? Really now. I didn't know cashroll and triple tailwhip, 360 tailwhip, double tailwhip, front flip tuck were so simple tricks.

Bloodfeast (Aug 21, 2017 at 18:13)

Semenuk backflip candybar was fucking insane, you can see his foot touched the bar, scary as fuck

LkWebz (Aug 21, 2017 at 9:28)

That's the most I've ever seen seminuk excited.

timrippeth FL (Aug 22, 2017 at 23:39)

Respect to Nyquist. Showing the kids how to get it done. Makes ya pee a little.

thepriceseliger (Aug 22, 2017 at 15:08)

All this production value and they can't export in 16:9 resolution. Come on guys, it's not 2010.

zelkova (Aug 23, 2017 at 0:04)

more like crashfest it is

skibiker (Aug 21, 2017 at 5:24)

Nyquist, WOW

Below threshold threads are hidden

preach (Aug 21, 2017 at 11:08)

ever notice how Mtn bikers don't transition over to BMX and start winning comps?

joaquinRDiert (Aug 21, 2017 at 18:09)

BMX its defining itself more towards park and street riding this days, so there are many people out there taking the slopestyle challenge because of the courses, the air and probably the vibes too

preach (Aug 22, 2017 at 6:14)

@joaquinRDiert: agreed homie, agreed

leon-forfar (Aug 23, 2017 at 14:37)

I would argue that mountain bikers are more well rounded bike riders. They may not be winning BMX contests, but when you see clips of semenuk, or Tomas Lemoine or whatever pro riding a BMX they can still shred it way above an "average" level of riding. But as you saw, Ryan Nyquist thought B-line to Lower A-line to be gnarly. And you sure won't see any pro BMXers making it down the Rampage site. The tricks in slopestyle these days are getting pretty close to BMX level, and on MUCH bigger and gnarlier features. No hate on Nyquist, he is an absolute legend and one of the coolest dudes on two wheels, but it is something to consider.
