The latest competition to enter the X Games, Street Style has been welcomed with open arms. The event resembles last year’s Game of SLVSH competition but with a more robust course and different judging criteria. Features and overall layout are heavily influenced by street skiing. Two heats of four athletes compete in a 10-minute jam session getting in as many runs as time allows for. The top two riders from each heat move on, combining into one group of four riders who then compete in another 10-minute jam session. The gold medal is earned by the highest overall impression score.
Riders competing in Street Style are judged on overall impression, which takes in to account progression, execution, difficulty, variety and originality.
Tucker Fitzsimons snagged the silver medal. Fitzsimons on the podium wasn’t a huge surprise, seeing as how the rail god has plenty of experience filming in the streets. He put on a clinic throughout the majority of his time on course, but it wasn’t enough to best the one and only Colby Stevenson.
Stevenson dropped hammer after hammer after just missing the podium in last night’s Men’s Knuckle Huck. He put on a stellar performance, winning over the judges by utilizing almost every feature in the course throughout his runs.
