We need more guys like Scot giving us the low down. His knowledge love for the sport an his calm voice. Never over shadows the riders , if anything listening to him commentate makes more excited to watch an listen to. . Scot your a legend my man 💪😎🫵
Loved it! But I got to say, more riders need to wear their helmets man. I’m all for progression, but do it with an helmet on. These aren’t light drops.❤
What sucks is only Garrett and Nathan are truly "pro" of this group. Meaning making a decent living at BMX. Brad had to start riding MTB's to finally get some decent sponsors. Freestyle BMX has fallen so low, I hope more high profile events like this happen more often so it can come off life support.
Scotty really is the best at breaking down each trick! This was amazing to watch but a bit hard seeing most of the riders without helmets, like no joke Brett got so lucky with that 5 that impact could have easily caused brain damage
I know X-Games isn't as big as it once was, but ffs can't we get this in HD!? It's 2023... Why are we uploading/recording this with potatoes?!! 720p seriously? Come on X-games
This was one of the most unique contents ive seen! Hats off 2 the X games for doing this event and holding it at such a unique location! Hope they do more events like this!
The Era of listening to Scotty Cranmer commentate these events. I wish he was still in em but so glad he is still finding a way to shine a bright light in the BMX scene. Glad ur here Scotty! Thanks. Great riding fellas! 👏👏👏❤️
No replays for even 2nd and 3rd place? The only thing preventing this sport from being as mainstream as skateboarding or mountain biking is the official respect those competitions offer their athletes comparatively.
Glad you all used the real street format from last year once again, this was one of the best if not THE best contest I’ve seen in my life and I grew up watching the early / glory days of X and Gravity etc in the 90s and 2000s. Great to see Rooftop, bring him back for sure! And as usual, Scotty is my favorite to have join on the 🎤 Absolute legend, both those dudes. And the riders! Just going to add that I wish I could be a rider that was a part of this because like Scotty talked about, this is different having so very many riders at a legendary spot going for bangers the whole time. That isn’t usually how riding goes. I had goosebumps just watching on YT 😅 Now, excited to watch the skaters
@@MrRadryan I think you failed to consider to he's old. Nearing 40. Probably contemplating lots of things. But whatever, it's not like you're the type of person to care. Just looking for entertainment.
I love this new bmx event! The group of current riders out here in SoCal can really bring BMX back to life. I’d love to see more events like this in the future
That was a specticle, just to see the riders in this competition competing at this level, I was stoked when I saw the X Games up and I was not upset with the out come of what the riders produced.😁😜🤙Their was a great panel of judges and a big thanks to the commentators, I'll be sure to watch this multiple times and comment again on my thoughts.💯 Great stuff Colin
One thing I noticed is the lack of young up & coming rider's, these are all legends of the sport, it would be great to see some cocky young sender in the mix......That's why skating is so popular, the insane stuff always comes from the fearless young guy/girl trying to prove themselves, like it or not we need some young blood in BMX!
I thought Nathan might try to do that but was still surprised he did and the fact that he came so close was devastating. I don’t care what anyone says that’s the most ballsy thing ever tried there. He should’ve been on the podium for hitting tires on it alone. The real goat
@@travisschram9684 I think the fact that he did it multiple times made it seem less crazy than it actually was. If he landed the 180 though he definitely deserved gold.
@@saturnvi5421 Oh trust me, every attempt was as gnarly as the last. And I agree if he pulled the 180 out I would’ve given him gold. Although I wouldn’t have been mad if they still gave Colin it for the fakie hop. Either way, it was a phenomenal contest and I hope it’s here to stay!!
@@travisschram9684 but 180 off the rail should definitely beat fakie hop considering Nathan half cabbed it already and has done the scare of not seeing the take off. Tires 180s way more difficult and scary I’d say.
Brett Silva’s 540 attempt over the rail to drop was INSANE!!! I’m sure if his rear wheel didn’t get destroyed in the process then Gold would’ve been his. Colin’s fakie hop was so crazy. Everyone in the comments hating probably wouldn’t even hop it going forward 😂😂😂
Went to school with Garrett he was and still is the most savage street bmx rider to ever do It !! Keep killin it brotha, Toms River North Mariners reppin!!
The 360 table was my favorite trick personally. But my least favorite moment was when the same rider, shortly before smashing his skull into the ground, spent a good 5 seconds adjusting the strap on his hat before going huge. Absolutely moronic to care more about keeping your hat fitting right than about keeping your skull intact.
From the throwback x game street park for bmx and street skateboarding and the recent rincon this year has been epic. Shout out all the commentators and skaters, riders and x games. So sick 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 Scotty, love you man, good to hear you and give great input on everything. You still the 🐐
I don’t even follow or watch or ride BMX anymore but man this was incredible to watch. You could literally become a vegetable if you mess this up. Also the commentators talking all softly like we’re in the masters is hilarious.
I find Gary incredibly annoying. I know I'm probably in the minority but he seems like he needs to be the center of attention and I grew up with a guy like that who left a really bad taste in my mouth so any type of boisterous personality really gets on my nerves.
I still think that schools should all be renamed/named after pro BMX and skateboarders, we get the most use out of them: We use the playgrounds before school, get educated in school, and shred them after school.
I went to middle school at Rincon and that spot is no joke, I remember seeing that spot in videos before I even went to school there but seeing it in person really solidified how much of a banger that spot is
Watching this after the Real Street skate competition... really puts the difference between Gary and Scotty into stark relief. I love Gary as a personality and for anchoring Skateline, but he really doesn't have the announcer chops to be doing XGames commentary... Scotty, on the other hand, is pure class and quality.
Scotty Cramer is one of the best commentators in sports
In this sport yes!..
Definitely, he's so good it makes the other guy seem corny....... They need two rider's, not a cheesy presenter that doesn't know ish about riding.
@@jerram3685 all sports, go cry about it
He is literally the worst
a soft voice guy? Cause I’m not into bmx, came from skate best trick (:
This is probably the best xgames event I've ever seen. Some of the goats all going off on a legendary spot. 🔥
I'm only a quarter of the way in and my mind is already blown. This format was made for BMX. These dudes came to play!
I watched the skate one after this. Back here for my 2nd time. BMX version was well better than. Skate
Ditto . The Fakie bunny 🐰 wow . What else is in store . I still have 2/3rds to go!! 😮
This is the future of these events. Thank you to everyone who put this together. Unbelievable!
yeah stick a helmet on lads! not worth killing yourselves if its easily avoidable
ive smacked my head a few times now and its absolutely NOT worth it
So great to hear Scotty, love that he is still around BMX, living BMX - what a legend he is
We need more guys like Scot giving us the low down. His knowledge love for the sport an his calm voice. Never over shadows the riders , if anything listening to him commentate makes more excited to watch an listen to. . Scot your a legend my man 💪😎🫵
That super intendant is awsome we need more people like him around our kids
@@user-kj7nw4zg1y says the dude with poor punctuation
Shoutout to Nathan and Jordan! Stoked to see everyone walk away clean too.
Loved seeing “Rooftop” being out there as the on field corespondent, maybe he can come out and throw down next year.😎😎😎🤘🤘
Loved it! But I got to say, more riders need to wear their helmets man. I’m all for progression, but do it with an helmet on. These aren’t light drops.❤
I would watch this event every week if I could, 10/10 perfect, please keep doing this
17:58 🏆 here you go!
23:51 🔥540 Bar Spin
I’m glad they gave them back the 10 minutes brad sims wasted
😆
What sucks is only Garrett and Nathan are truly "pro" of this group. Meaning making a decent living at BMX. Brad had to start riding MTB's to finally get some decent sponsors. Freestyle BMX has fallen so low, I hope more high profile events like this happen more often so it can come off life support.
Who is going to sponsor riders who don't wear helmets in today's world? Only themselves to blame.
@@222tifi that is nonsense. Skaters also dont wear helmets, unless the are skating vert or megaramp.
@@222tifi thanks mom

My dad got me a bike with pegs on it so I’m sure I’m gonna be at the xgames next year watch out
Skateboarder from early 2000s, love this format , please keep this format going forward and continue to innovate!
This was one of the most unique contents ive seen! Hats off 2 the X games for doing this event and holding it at such a unique location! Hope they do more events like this!
Yo I’m a skater but that fakie Ollie or bunny hop whatever you call it that was awesome.
The superintendent is goated he understands the importance of connecting with his students and show what hard work looks like in any form of a career
The Era of listening to Scotty Cranmer commentate these events. I wish he was still in em but so glad he is still finding a way to shine a bright light in the BMX scene. Glad ur here Scotty! Thanks. Great riding fellas! 👏👏👏❤️
Really gets the vibe of a heavy street session with the commentary of a proper sports event. Excellent

Brad simms easily took up 2-3 minutes a run up😂
That Dudes a joke

shame that they skipped real street bmx this year, it was the coolest bike competition for sure
Such a casual watch on an insane spot. Perfect setting for XGames this!

It was great to see Rooftop wearing a Pat Casey shirt.
I'm not going to lie Brad Simms was disrespectful to the format. Dude took like 2 minutes every time he took an attempt.
No doubt! They should have given the other riders an additional 20 min to make up for his set up attempts
BMX is just going crazyyyyyy this year !!!
I met Mike aka "rooftop" my first tour in Iraq on his tour... Such a great guy all around
Best moment was mad Mike’s make after that long battle
Can't believe they let y'all do this! So sick!!!!!
Sickest BMX event x games has had in a long long time
ROOFTOP “What just happened?” 😂
One thing I noticed is the lack of young up & coming rider's, these are all legends of the sport, it would be great to see some cocky young sender in the mix......That's why skating is so popular, the insane stuff always comes from the fearless young guy/girl trying to prove themselves, like it or not we need some young blood in BMX!
there is alot of kids killign it that are not know aactually theya re on instagram and cant afford to glo to x games or usa
Awesome. Top trick gave me goosebumps. Sending it First Class. Postal.
I thought Nathan might try to do that but was still surprised he did and the fact that he came so close was devastating. I don’t care what anyone says that’s the most ballsy thing ever tried there. He should’ve been on the podium for hitting tires on it alone. The real goat
Although I don’t think the tires alone should’ve gotten a podium, I do agree with you that Nathan is also my goat.

18:00 never have I ever seen anything like that before
10 mins of this is already more exciting that real street skate . And I'm a skater
Good to see Lewis repping that Posseshot Tee with Steeze 🔥🇦🇺
Give Scotty another gold for his commentary!
Long live you Pat, thanks for letting us enjoy your BMX talents.
Insane progression!
This is too real
next location for XGames street best trick EL TORO!!
Brett Silva’s 540 attempt over the rail to drop was INSANE!!! I’m sure if his rear wheel didn’t get destroyed in the process then Gold would’ve been his.
Colin’s fakie hop was so crazy. Everyone in the comments hating probably wouldn’t even hop it going forward 😂😂😂
being 35 and thinking im getting too old to still ride this pumps me up
Went to school with Garrett he was and still is the most savage street bmx rider to ever do
It !! Keep killin it brotha, Toms River North Mariners reppin!!
Sick! Respect to all the riders!
Warriors. And Scotty's commentating with Brandon and Rooftop is primo.
Yes yes! Legends all. Wanna see more of these. Fantastic!!
Why take the live stream post of this down? It had like 40 thousand views.
It's still there, seems they edited this and uploaded it again
Such a sick event! YES! 🔥🔥🔥
bangers so sick, gotta be honest would love to see some more helmets on that drop.
That fakie hop over the rail from Colin Varanyak was perfect, it has to one of the best bmx tricks Ive seen, dope 🔥
The biggest most dangerous tricks and nobody wears a helmet because these guys are soo cool!
The 360 table was my favorite trick personally. But my least favorite moment was when the same rider, shortly before smashing his skull into the ground, spent a good 5 seconds adjusting the strap on his hat before going huge. Absolutely moronic to care more about keeping your hat fitting right than about keeping your skull intact.
It's part of the thrill. Someone that lives on their knees wouldn't understand.
21:27 “what did he just do right there?” “A double tire?” 🤯
1:11:18 I am also photographer but this is a different level.
Fakie hop was nuts, I think the 540 b-sping should have got silver but those are insane rails so can see why its judged that way.
This is one of the craziest contests I’ve seen! Awesome!
And also - pretty dope that the school administration is embracing the reality they have a spot.
This is the sickest event ever! Thank you X games ❤
this is sooooo sick, Im stoked to see the future of this new take, viva BMX !!!!!!
this whole thing was absolute madness🔥
Too real
That cold open gave me chills! I love these dudes🙏🏾
Awesome event, I’m happy this happened and shout out Colin 💪🏻 Jersey!
This is so amazing so smart of an idea love it XGames!!!
everyone participated this is a winner.
What a fun way to do the best trick street competition. Cool idea :)
From the throwback x game street park for bmx and street skateboarding and the recent rincon this year has been epic. Shout out all the commentators and skaters, riders and x games. So sick 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 Scotty, love you man, good to hear you and give great input on everything. You still the 🐐
BRING BACK INLINE
So hard to pick only three medalists. So many heavy hitting tricks.
OG MIKE ESCAMILLA❤🔥❤🔥💥💥💥
Absolute BANGERS! 🔥
Being there in person before this is insane!!! Honestly thought it was more of a skate spot but still awesome either way!!!
35:05 That poor wheel, glad he was ok
Should helmets be mandatory?
This was a gnarly comp! Thanks 🙏
I don’t even follow or watch or ride BMX anymore but man this was incredible to watch. You could literally become a vegetable if you mess this up. Also the commentators talking all softly like we’re in the masters is hilarious.
How do you break a Gsport rim, I thought they were strong asff
"manufacturer defect"
its hilarious this dude has such a calm tone compared to Gary screaming like an insane person
I find Gary incredibly annoying. I know I'm probably in the minority but he seems like he needs to be the center of attention and I grew up with a guy like that who left a really bad taste in my mouth so any type of boisterous personality really gets on my nerves.
@@RatSewage yeah, thats Gary. But that is also the thing why he is entertaining. Skateboarding loves Gary.
i love the video! the quality just gets to me
Anyone else getting mad at brad for taking forever and doing nothing good
riding starts at 6:00
I still think that schools should all be renamed/named after pro BMX and skateboarders, we get the most use out of them: We use the playgrounds before school, get educated in school, and shred them after school.
We love and miss Scotty! so rad having him commentate!
Excellent Work!!
I really like comps being at an iconic spot so there's the myth involved
I went to middle school at Rincon and that spot is no joke, I remember seeing that spot in videos before I even went to school there but seeing it in person really solidified how much of a banger that spot is

I don't watch bmx, but I'll watch bmx when it's at this spot
Wow!!! Amazing contest 🔥🔥🔥
Super pumped to hear Scotty Cramer on the mic and watching the boys hanging out and killing it at a monster of a spot.
Come to vancouver and do xgames please . We need this sort of this here
Bring Back….Real Moto!! Quit Thinking just Do It…..
This might be the best video ever on RUclips and I am 24 min in
I find it hilarious “rooftop” could easily do stand in voices for South Park hahaha
