BMX Big Air X Games Barcelona

How tight was the BMX Big Air competition at Barcelona? Well, the order of finish is based on best run and after Zack Warden’s 92 there were 3 90.0′s and an 89.66 next up. The tie breakers were in force, and the action was so hot that ESPN has posted the video of every single run on their website. I’m putting a few of the best runs here but you should definitely check out the link (underlined just above) when you have a chance to watch all the action.

Steve McCann ended up in 5th place after getting an 89.66 with this run:

Tiebreakers dropped Chad Kagy out of medal contention but he still put together a 90.0 on this run, to tie for the second best score of the night’

Colton Satterfield’s 90.00 won him the bronze

Vince Byron’s 90.0, on the other hand, was good enough for Silver

No tiebreaker was required to award Zack Warden the Gold after he polled this run off:

Laia Sanz X Games Barcelona

The first thing Laia Sanz did after winning the Gold in X Games Women’s Enduro X at Foz was to announce she would not be defending her title in front of her home town fans in Barcelona. This disappointing announcement, made within a minute of her win, crushed a lot of hopes. We all remember [...]

X Games Barca BMX Park Finals

Gary Young BMX Park

You couldn’t ask for a tighter, more closely contested event than BMX Park at X Games Barcelona. Former Gold Medal winners Ryan Nyquist and Scotty Cranmer had the top scores in the heats, but all of the top 6 riders broke 70 in their elimination runs and it was anyone’s game once the clock started [...]

It was the Lizzy Armanto and Alana Smith show coast to coast at Women’s Skateboard Park at X Games Barcelona. They cruised through their elimination heat with the top 2 scores of the heats and dominated the final for a 1-2 finish on the podium at the finals. No mean feat for two X Games [...]

Music of the X Games

X Games Music

I’ve always thought the one thing the X Games needs is more music. What could be better than having live bands play while athletes perform? Video Games got hip to soundtracks decades ago, and this would bring the X Games full circle back to their console gaming roots. While they still aren’t signing bands to [...]

Bob Burnquist going for the repeat in Skateboard Big Air at X Games Barcelona might not be quite as impressive as Jamie Bestwick going for the 8-peat in BMX Vert, but trying to tie X Games legend Dave Mirra’s record for the most medals ever. Throw in a couple of crazy talented teenagers like Mitchie [...]

X Games Barcelona Mike Mason

Defending X Games Foz Gold Medalist Lance Coury had to be the Speed and Style Favorite going in (winning gold at the last event will do that for you) but he wrecked hard in his quarterfinal heat vs. Mat Rebeaud and was locked out of the medal round. As you can see from the vid [...]

Adding Yoga to My Work Out Routine

Yoga Ball

I’ve always looked at Yoga as a sort of hippie stretch and meditate alternative to workout, sort of the way Hacky Sack is a hippie alternative to playing a competitive sport. Then P 90X came along. P90X is a brutal workout that generates amazing results, I can testify to that from real life experience. One [...]

X Games Barca BMX Vert Finals

May 17, 2013
Jamie Bestwick X Games BMX Barcelona

BMX Vert was a major story coming in to X Games Barcelona because Jamie Bestwick had a chance to become the first X Games athlete to win 7 consecutive Gold Medals in one event. Since he’s clearly the best BMX Vert rider on the planet and dominated the event at Foz this should have been [...]
