Brearley Edges Powell For Knuckle Huck Gold
Men's Snowboard Knuckle Huck Aspen 2024 Revisited
Brearley edges Powell for Knuckle Huck Gold
Liam Brearley wasn’t even on the Men’s Snowboard Knuckle Huck alternate list in the weeks leading up to X Games Aspen. But the Ontario native took a surprise slopestyle victory at the Laax Open just days before X Games, and suddenly the then 20-year-old was on his way to Aspen. The then 20-year-old made the most of his opportunity in X Games Knuckle Huck. The rookie stomped a switch hand-drag Cab 720 in Run 2 before his wild Run 3 pass -- a nose-butter to Cab rodeo -- cemented his gold medal.

Past X Games Knuckle Huck champ Zeb Powell showed why he’s always a threat in the discipline. Yes, he broke out his ridiculously oversized 205cm snowboard during the contest. He also landed a coffin slide 360 that helped power him to the silver. Darcy Sharpe made the most of his first Knuckle Huck appearance. The Canadian scored bronze, his 5th X Games medal.
