Winter XGames Norway Gold

The Xgames Winter edition in Norway has been going down and there have been some insane performances. Mark McMorris coming from the death to take Big Air Gold in the snowboard, Henrik Harlaut absolutely blowing away the other men in the Ski Big Air, a last run win for Sven Thorgren in the Men’s Snowboard Slopestyle and then what has to be the number 1 pick, Shaun White, getting a perfect 100 score in the Super Pipe for Gold. Seriously, does this guy not stop? Enjoy the vids…

Top Ten moments of X Games Austin 2015

We wait all year for the X Games and then like a blur it is all over. Over the weekend the world’s best x athletes once again raised the level of the sports we love to watch and stoked out everyone who was up watching. For those who missed out, or for those who just want to feel the stoke again, here are my top 10 moments from X Games Austin 2015.

First up it’s my tenth spot pick and it goes to Nate Adams taking Gold in the Moto X Speed and Style. Bilko and Nate were going at it hammer and tongs and Bilko probably had him on style, but then he fell and that was that.

In ninth spot it is the ever green Bob Burnquist, who won skate big air and then went on to win the Gold in Big Air Doubles along with Morgan Wade. A new event, the crowd really enjoyed.

Up next in eighth spot, Pierre-Luc Gagnon once again dominated Skate Vert with a stylish and controlled run. PLG knows how to handle his business.

Kyle Baldock once again dominated the BMX Dirt with a super tricked out final run ending in his signature, giant front flip and makes seventh on my list.

In sixth place, it was great to see Ryan Sheckler back at X games where it all began. He skated some solid runs and ended up getting silver in Skate Street.

In 5th place its the ladies, well more specifically Alexis Sablone, with her incredible run to take Gold in the Woman’s Skate Street. Incredible to see how the level in the ladies has just gone through the roof. Alexis was doing tricks that none of the guys were.

Curren Caples had to pull out everything he had to finally put an end to the Pedro Barros domination of Skate Park. This was one of the upsets of the X games.

In Third place we head over to the Mega Ramp and a last ditch effort by Colton Satterfield to win Gold. No hand 720 Cork to double flare on the Quarter made cleanly was guaranteed to win the Gold.

In second place we stick with BMX and Daniel Sandoval going absolutely mental in BMX Park. I had to watch this run a couple of times just to make sense of how many tricks he pulled in this run.

There can only be one number one spot though and that must go to the one and only, Nyjah Huston. Watch this run a couple of times, you simply cannot find and blemishes or mistakes. It is absolutely flawless and deserving not only of the X Games Gold, but my top spot for 2015.

X Games Aspen – Top 5 Moments 2015

So another X Games has past and the levels as per every year just keep getting higher. There were some ridiculous moments in 2015, in Aspen and I bring you my choices for the top moments.

First up in the ladies Superpipe the battle was between Lindsey Jacobellis and 14 year old, Chloe Kim. Jacobellis has dominated the sport for years and when Chloe had one of the biggest falls of the night, most thought the Gold was out of her grasp. But the youngster put on her fighting gloves and came back to win the Gold and become the youngest Gold Medal athlete in X games history.

Staying in the Pipe but in the men’s ski final, it was the first win from a Canadian by, Simon D’Artois. The guy was clearing 21ft out of the Superpipe and hitting double corks like they were straight airs.

In the Ski Big Air it was young rider, Vincent Gagnier, who blew minds with his top 2 runs. This guy was stoked because he made 2 tricks he had never done before in competition.

The top 2 moments belong to one man, Marc McMorris. This guy is riding on another level! In the Snowboard Big Air, he pulled first a frontside triple cork 1440 and then stepped it up with a backside 1620 triple cork. The commentators were actually speechless.

After blowing everyone’s minds in the Big Air, McMorris moved onto the Slopestyle, where he once again stepped up the performance levels to claim his second Gold of the X Games. With a flawless rail game and progressively huge airs, he stepped up the game.

These were by no means the only highlights of a once again incredible winter X Games. Check out the X games rollout video for the biggest moments of 2015. The focus will now turn to summer and X Games Austin in early June.

All the X Games Gold 2014 from Austin, Texas

What I would have given to be at the X Games this year at it’s new home of Austin, Texas. The setups were insane, the crowds were huge and the weather was amazing. If, like me, you were unable to get there, have no fear, for I have put together a melting pot of all the best Gold Medal runs and wins. First up we have the youngest Gold medal winner in the history of the X Games. Tom Schaar is just 14 years old, but that did not stop him from beating his heros, like multiple champion, Bob Burnquist, and taking the Gold in the Skateboard Big Air…

Dam impressive it has to be said! Staying with skate and a guy I never knew much about came out and destroyed the skate vert competition to earn his first Gold medal. Jimmy Wilkins was on fire in his last run to keep Sandro Dias off the number 1 spot…

I was super stoked that they brought back BMX dirt to X Games and watching the final was pretty incredible. Kyle Baldock, throwing one of the biggest front flips ever seen, ended up with the Gold.

One man has dominated X Games Skate Street for a couple of years and this year, Nyjah Huston was on fire once again, winning his 5th X Games Gold medal. Like the commentators say, its like watching someone in a Playstation game…

Back to the Mega Ramp and Colton Satterfield pulling a no handed cork 720 to late barspin into a huge triple whip on the quarter, to win Gold on the BMX.

Onto Dirt Bikes and FMX star, Bilko, was in his first Speed and Style final against Mike Mason. Bilko with the power in the tricks was in it right to the end, but Mason throwing an underflip actually jumped his score. Mason, the veteran, showing the younger Ozzy his race experience and took the Gold from Bilko…

Almost done now and my two top Gold Medals coming up. First we had Pedro Barros in the Skate Park Final. This guys just has so much flow, combined with massive air time and it was going to be very hard to beat him. His final run was huge and he once again took the Gold!

Lastly I pay homage to a true legend of the X Games! At 42 years old, most of his peers have kids competing this days. However, Jamie Bestwick was not content with 11 X Games medals and with a run that can only be described as monumental to vert BMX, took the Gold once again!

So there you have it, the best Gold Medals from X Games 2014. Feedback from the event is that it was one of the best ever and I am certainly already looking at heading out there next year.

The Best of X-Games Barcelona

The X-Games train keeps on rolling at a manic pace and Barcelona was no different. The levels keep getting raised, the tricks keep getting bigger and by the time they arrive in Los Angeles it is going to be off the charts. Out of a lot of amazing feats in Barcelona, my favorite moment was Zack Warden in the Bmx Big Air taking Gold with this mental run…
