Men’s Ski Slopestyle finals at the 2017 X-Games where insane! The level was massive and we have three Euros in the top 5! Andri Ragettli came out swinging with a huge triple 14 taking 5th. James Woods went all creative on his grab combinations with sw dub 9 octos, triple 14’s and a huge double 12 tail to truck driver, getting Woodsy 4th place. ABM taking 3rd place with sick as rails and insane bio combinations. Maybe he could have even cleaned up his 1st run, but unfortunately his Ski boot buckle opened up on his second run and Alex was not able to complete it. McRae took 2nd place with super clean rails and a massive sw triple at the bottom jump. After failing his 1st run, Oystein Braten went all out and put together an insane rail run, followed by super smooth jumps and grabs, with a sick sw double 12 leading tail into a massive triple 14 safety!
