32 First ever Tricks at Nitro World Games

The inaugural Nitro World Games took place July 16 at Rice-Eccles Stadium in Salt Lake City. Travis Pastrana changed the game so many times it only made sense that his dream event would do the same thing. There were 32 never before done tricks at the Nitro Games this weekend, from the likes of winners Colton Walker,Levi Sherwood, Elliot Sloan, Gregg Duffy and with the new formats and judging system we may just see even more very soon. What will be especially interesting is how this will effect the more staple events such as X games and Dew Tour. Of course some of the events had mostly Nitro Circus athletes, who are the only people able to hit the giant ramps with specially modified landings, but it dont change the fact that the guys made history! Check out the winning runs below and I have also put the entire event stream up for you guys. Make some popcorn, gran a cold one and blow your mind!

On a side note, it is very interesting to see the outcry online over why they did not show the scooter and inline runs. While both are almost non-existent in SA, scooter has one of the biggest fan bases in the USA. On top of this it was a scooter athlete, Ryan Williams, who won the BMX best trick with a never before seen trick!

Snowboard insanity continues with first ever Switch Quadruple Underflip 1620

Snowboard insanity continues with first ever Switch Quadruple Underflip 1620

Snowboard insanity

The insanity levels continue this season in snowboarding with Max Parrot landing the world’s first Switch Quadruple Underflip 1620.

Snowboarding is now moving into the realm of what was thought impossible just a few years ago with the top riders landing tricks that were thought the realm of video game fantasy recently.

The scary thing is that the boundaries seem to be getting pushed harder and faster than ever as more tricks are landed. Where to next…

Monster Energy teamed up with Whistler Blackcomb to build the proper feature for Max to assist in the progression of snowboarding.

“It was a dream for me when I first started competing internationally, to push the boundaries of snowboarding.

I have been visualising this trick for a few months and when the opportunity presented itself this season thanks to Monster Energy & Whistler Blackcomb, I felt it was the right time”
