Are you kidding? The man does 12 chemo treatments in six months, is only two months removed from his final treatment in late August, spends just a week on snow and then beats the best in the world at XG Norway? Beautiful. Norway 2019 gold was Max Parrot’s 5th title in Snowboard Big Air. No other man or woman has more than 3. He has the most Snowboard Big Air medals in X Games history (8). His 5 gold and 8 medals are both tied with skier Henrik Harlaut for most in either X Games Ski or SBD. Max now has 6 total X Games gold and 10 medals overall. Just a reminder: THE MAN SPENT THE YEAR FIGHTING CANCER. This is the best story of 2019, and Brando and Craig’s call on Max’s final run was great.

In a fantastic comp that featured six scores of 90 or above, perhaps the best competitive slopestyle athlete ever saved his best for last. Mark McMorris sat in 2nd after Run 1 with a strong 89.66. By the time he dropped in for his last run -- the very last run of the entire contest -- he was down in 5th. But McMo loves pressure and is a contest killer, and he laid down an incredible pass that scored a 96, edging the surprising Rene Rinnekangas (who knew he was beat but was just so stoked to be there) for the dramatic walk-off win. The entire run was great, but if we don’t have time to show it then focus on the jump line: switch backside 1260 stalefish, frontside triple cork 1440 mute, backside triple cork 1620 mute. Can’t beat the call, either, featuring analyst Craig McMorris shouting, “Touchdown, Saskatchewan!” Slopestyle gold was Mark’s 5th in the discipline, tying Shaun White’s decade-old X Games mark. McMorris now has 10 Slopestyle medals total, most in history. His 17 X Games medals overall equals Joe Parsons for second-most XG winter discipline podiums, one behind White.

At X Games Minneapolis 2019, Ryan Williams broke the BMX Big Air curse, becoming the first person to earn a third straight X Games BMX Big Air gold after 5 athletes had tried and failed before him (Kevin Robinson, Steve McCann, Colton Satterfield, James Foster and Zack Warden). His winning pass came in Run 2: backflip drop-in to nothing front bikeflip over the 63-foot gap, frontflip flair on the quarter at 16’11”. The line scored a 93.66, in part because the backflip drop-in had never been done. R Willy called it, “The best night of my life!” We call it BMX progression at its finest.
