OKX Web3 Snowboard Street Style & Game of SLVSH Presented by GoPro Debut at X Games Aspen 2024

·

The pulse of youth culture, creativity, and raw freestyle energy returns to Aspen as X Games Aspen 2024 introduces two electrifying new events: the OKX Web3 Snowboard Street Style and the Game of SLVSH presented by GoPro. These innovative competitions are redefining what it means to push the limits of snowboarding and skiing, blending urban street aesthetics with high-octane action—all set against the iconic backdrop of Aspen Mountain.

Designed to spotlight originality and expression, these events strip away the complexity of traditional contest formats and focus on what truly matters: creativity, style, and entertainment. With athlete-driven course design, refreshed judging criteria, and a renewed emphasis on fan engagement, X Games is bringing freestyle back to its roots.

A Return to Creative Freedom: The Spirit of Street Competitions

Street-style snowboarding and skiing have long been the heartbeat of freestyle culture—born not on manicured halfpipes or massive jumps, but in parking lots, urban rails, and spontaneous sessions between friends. That rebellious, DIY spirit is now center stage at X Games Aspen 2024.

By collaborating directly with an athlete counsel, X Games has reimagined the structure of competition to empower riders and skiers alike. The goal? To create a space where innovation thrives, risk-taking is rewarded, and authenticity wins over formulaic runs.

Game of SLVSH Presented by GoPro: High-Stakes Trick Battles

One of the most anticipated live events at X Games Aspen 2024 is the Game of SLVSH presented by GoPro, a head-to-head showdown that combines skill, nerve, and strategy in a format inspired by classic games like “HORSE.”

Taking place Friday from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. on the OKX Web3 Street Course, this competition pits top freeskiers against each other in a battle of trick-for-trick replication. Each athlete selects a trick using any obstacle on the course. Their opponent must then land the same maneuver—or receive a letter toward "SLVSH." The first competitor to collect all five letters (S-L-V-S-H) is eliminated.

This year’s matchups promise fireworks:

With cash prizes on the line and global attention watching, every run becomes a make-or-break moment.

The emphasis here isn’t just on difficulty—it’s on style, execution, and creativity. Judges and fans alike will be looking for those intangible qualities that define true freestyle mastery.

OKX Web3 Snowboard Street Style: Where Urban Meets Avalanche

Taking place Saturday from 2:15 to 3:15 p.m., the OKX Web3 Snowboard Street Style event brings together 20 of the world’s most progressive riders—10 men and 10 women—for a fast-paced, high-energy jam session.

Unlike traditional judged runs with timed scores, this format allows athletes to drop in during open 20-minute sessions, building momentum and feeding off the crowd’s energy. There are no set routines—just pure improvisation across a custom-built urban course featuring rails, ledges, gaps, and unexpected obstacles that mirror cityscapes.

The winners won’t be decided by a standard panel but by a council of legendary riders and action sports broadcasters, ensuring that credibility and cultural relevance guide the outcome.

Invited Riders:

Men’s Field:
Zak Hale, Judd Henkes, Zeb Powell, Benny Milam, Darcy Sharpe, Tiarn Collins, Nate Haust, Pat Fava, Jesse Augustinus, Luke Winklemann, and X Games analyst Craig McMorris.

Women’s Field:
Jill Perkins, Egan Wint, Lauren Derminio, Iris Pham, Mia Brookes, Annika Morgan, Jaylen Hanson, Brantley Mullins, Maggie Leon, and digital host Gabby Maiden.

This diverse lineup reflects the evolving face of snowboarding—one that values inclusivity, innovation, and individuality.
