Video: The Best Slopestyle Run Ever

 Holly goose-bumps Batman!
I don't use this word much but "EPIC" comes to mind.

 Brandon has so much control, style and skill. Logan peat got it right, to watch him ride is like watching your favourite video. . .

 This SloMo video may actually be what Brandon sees in his mind, timing wise. Proved what he is again, a roaming legend.

 13 out of 13 and more

 they should hire little birds to fly around every Joyride to make slo-mo edits look more epic

 you said it. Perfect edit. Thank you for this. @kubaner just appreciate this man. Just. Appreciate.

 now we can SEE the one footed kan after the tailwhip ! It's going too fast without slowmo

 Thank you a ton, you could barely see what was going on during the broadcast.... so insane.

 Yeah, but that run would have broken the universe. And the other riders would have to wait until Semenuk retires from slopestyle before they can even dream about winning joyride.

 Or even dream of creating new tricks.

 If Rheeder had upped the ante, Semenuk would have done a run so dense, that it would have created a new universe inside our atmosphere, proving today's science irrelevant and moo(Joey Tribbiani,Friends). A cashroll double bar would have been present I am quite sure and that alone would have automatically put his competitors on their knees, chanting his name, forever glorifying him as the one and only, the Poobah of the styles, like miles and sh!t, 360 double truck, back flip can drop in! Even though there have been naysayers over the years, questioning the might of his fist, the steadiness of his hand and wit, he has never fought a battle against his opponents, rather one against himself, for only he himself can truly recognized as a rival worthy to beat!
I congratulate you, Sir Semenuk, destroyer of minds, ruler of all steeze!

 If Rogatkin had done anything harder than a straight backflip off the final step down. The debate would be on, but that is the standout difference imo.

 if he had a bit more style/flow as well. all his tricks looks so forced and kinda robotic, while Semenuks tricks are just so stylish and flowy.

 @mckrider I felt the same. Flip whip final stepdown and some oppo combo insted one of many of his tailwhip and he would be around Semenuk score. But we must remember that Brandon still didn't show all his combos

 rogatkin lacks style. Sure he has all kinds of crazy tricks, but he just looks like he's chucking his meat around when he does them. No style or flow. If that changes, then he is going to start winning more.

 @philipmcm That's why I missed Szymon Godziek :/

 I could not disagree more. Style is the one defining thing about riders, and in my opinion one of the best parts of slopeSTYLE @philipmcm

 style is everything. so many people can do tricks, very few can truly make them look good and be smooth.

 @philipmcm Form, style and smoothness of landing counts in every judged sport in the world. Of course it's fun to see a gnarly trick that nobody does. That's why there's videos and there's contests!

 No style or flow, but somehow he managed to beat a whole lot of other riders and get second place.

 rogatkin practises tricks until he lands them safe, semenuk until he thinks they look better than anybody else's. oh and apparently until he can do them on any terrain and any bike... I'm glad he took the win. nobody deserves it more imo...

 Semenuk's run was clearly better, but give the kid a little credit (isn't he the youngest rider there?), he is one of the few on a hardtail (harsher landing) and he did do a lot of hard tricks that not many others are willing to do in a contest (Difficulty is part of the judging is it not?). Im not a die hard Rogatkin fan, but people on here really love to hate on him. Also just a thought, but how do you do a stylish triple whip? Has anyone seen one? Some people go for big tricks, some for style, Semenuk clearly has both, which is why he won, but no need to rag on the kid he sends it.

 almost no one in the world can cork 720 straight into cashroll (including mr. Semenuk), I don't care if you nerds think he doesn't have style doing it... that's pretty stylish in my book

 Basically you just inadvertantly started a tally of the kooks who think style is more important than their lives. Keep on neg propping you morons. Steeze can wear body armor...shredders know that. Neg propping Kooks...

 Experience was the winner there. Rogatkin was most likely so juiced and amped it took everything he had just to get 'er down.

 We see this argument on every slopestyle page, I firmly believe style is an expression, not all style are the same, rogatkins style is clean and precise, its that simple, he has bags of style, just a different style to semenuk

 i love this

 welcome to pinkbike, where poeple argue abut simple things like style or the definition of loam.

 thats one reason i really wanted to see rheeder up his score, then maybe in semenuks 2nd run you would have seen some of those tricks.

 Its a decade if you dont kick the bike around, just do a 360 holding the bars and bike staying straight. If you kick the bike around then its a downside whip.

 Yes, essentially the same thing but they're executed slightly differently

 Yeah, subtly different tricks. You can usually tell the difference by how the frame moves, or rather doesn't move in the case of a decade air. Here's a double decade air: www.youtube.com/watch?v=L-5bN4ci66k Notice how the frame remains straight and only his body spins above the bike. Contrast that with the 360 downside tailwhip in Brandon's run, and notice how he actually does a tailwhip while spinning around.

 I still call that an Ali whip, don't forget Alistair Whitton, he was so stylish !

 @hirvi @dlxah you guys are so funny) decade and 360 downside opo whip can be called as one trick,cause of one fact-in a huge air (not a hop decade or something like that) if u dont kick frame to opo whip and just do straight decade, when u catch pedals, u overrotate and crash But in fact of this, u can do straight double decade,decade to 360,360 to decade.But u cant see any riders do decade on a real jump with normal airtime.

 I think the first cork 720 was drawn out and awkward looking because he was mentally getting ready to throw a barspin into it on his second run. You can see him kind of straighten out his arms towards the end and make room. I think he was going for a normal cork 720 off the whale tail but because of the step down and take-off speed he spun it all crazy fast and it looked like a backflip 360. Just nerd theorizing here.

 But you forget the occasions when the clock is not working properly...

 It's true, I'm sure he's not going to argue it either as the flip double would score higher! Rheeder's that he crashed on looked like an honest flip double-whip.

 While kicking the tailwhip he has a different position on the bike. Imagine if he had the foot on the pedals, it was definetely a flip dub whip

 @iamamodel He kick the bike and stay in the same postion in 0:20 and 0.45 flip whip to no foot can. So I guess 0:20 is flip double whip

 That!

 The 2nd one looks like a 360 backflip. But yeah whatever it looks sick.

 What's on second - Who's on first!

 It wasn't deleted. It's been down voted by other users into the 'Below threshold' section at the bottom of the page.

 Lol, downvoted into oblivion! Thanks for clarifying!

 ...so overall he didn't have a better run. I agree that the triple whip, cashroll etc were off the chain and he might have been up there if he had done something bigger off the last hit, but he didn't and these days you have to do something amazing on every feature. Maybe next year we will see him lift the big cheque?

 Part of the difficulty of Slopestyle vs. a straight DJ booter contest is the diversity of the features. People getting creative on the whale tail or the boner log are the reason we don't just have a bunch of trick jumps in a row. The bangers are insane, but having them linked together with tough tricks on all the weird obstacles takes serious consistency and creativity. That aspect is rewarded.
