BMX Street: FULL BROADCAST | X Games Minneapolis 2017

welcome everyone to Minneapolis to Minnesota the land of lakes here in central Minnesota and a new home in

2017

for the x-

games

welcome inside US Bank Stadium this is the BMX

street

finals here Jimmy Coleman here in the booth next Scotty Cramer we have Brian Kachinsky on the field and some interviews with athletes and well, after three years in the Lone Star State, we found a new home here in Minnesota and we have this incredible field here inside US Bank Stadium and well , here on the BMX

street

, that's it. In terms of technical varieties, this tour looks very different from previous tours.

Now, talking to riders during the week, I found that they might describe it as fast and when they mean fast, there are obstacles that are quite close to the next one, so "We're going to see the wreck in the middle, which is an amazing feature. Now the guys, when they do tricks, they immediately approach the quarter pipe, so you have to be ready to go, but there's a lot of unique things here I'm really curious to see what the guys come up with for those of you who aren't. very familiar with this aspect of the sport.

We think the street is the type of elements that you would find in your urban environment type of thing, you can just go out and ride around any city and go out and hit these structure rails and step gaps and everything. that and everything is combined here inside the stadium on this incredible field, so in the history of street BMX here at the X There have been nine

games

in previous contested events and eight of them have been won by one man, we are talking about Garrett Reynolds and the photo of him right there, has been extremely skilled in this event, exploring Garrett Reynolds, without a doubt, the best text game street racer.

There is and Gary Reynolds is actually from Nike Bark. I watched him grow up and become a cyclist. He has a very original style and gives a unique touch to his walk. It's absolutely incredible to see what he did with it. There is only one. another guy in the field who once beat him and it's that gentleman over there, Chad Kerley, he got the street win in 2013 at the final event of the season in Los Angeles and it's been those two guys in nine separate events before, well, It's no surprise. there, Chad Kerley is the definition of a technical street rider.

Chad Kerley has a balance that no one else has in this type of game. Here, those are the only two previous winners, however, there are ten other riders in the field who will have something to say. about this here today this is how it works in street BMX there are 12 athletes, each of them does two races, those races last 45 seconds, that doesn't matter if you fall, if you get off the bike you get a

45 seconds to try to impress to the judges of those two races, it's the highest scorer who wins and hope

full

y you'll walk out of here with an X Games gold medal and the highest possible race score you can get is 100.

Now we say general impressions What is that exactly? I mean, what are some of the things that the judges will be looking for here, Scotty, so the judges of this event want to see the cleanliness of street cycling, they want to see people do their moves perfectly and now there will be a great There is a great variety of tricks that we'll look at here today, but each of these guys has the potential to get on the podium, so it's time to get started, followed by Nathan William Stanley, the brutal Hoffman, you've got Colin very. however, simona brock baroque dakota roche Devon smiley Chad Kerley we talked about earlier Brock referred to last year's returning bronze medalist Sean retained his silver medalist from last year and Garrett Reynolds last year his defending gold medalist added another to your list in the history of BMX Street here at the x-games, but here at this event there are a lot of technical things that are happening, but you will see some big, beefy moves, but there are a lot of subtle things that will happen here.

Let's look at the technicality, it's being able to combine that text into a beam, as you mentioned earlier, Scotty, with a smaller course, the hits will come pretty quickly, it's how you can tie those things into these different features that the course has to offer. on this little one, of course, that means there will be more options to do tricks as these guys send everyone, send everyone, Pharrell, there will be a minor, there will be a quarter pipe there and you guys will be able to link these things together. doing a manual or fakie or even a noise manual so it will bounce around and there will be a lot of technical action so Brock Rainford one of the guys in the lineup we talked about him being the brass metal coming back.

There's a lot more to this guy than just being a professional BMX rider. Let's take a look at what motivates him in this X Games profile. Hi, I'm Brock Rayford and I ride X Games BMX Street, which I find really interesting. The art is that it's another creative outlet outside of BMX and it's another way to express myself and it's super fun to just come home and relax and let my mind fly free being both an artist and a BMX rider. hand in hand because when riding a horse you can do dirt jumps or you can write Street or you can ride pretty much anything you want and the same goes for artwork, you can work with clay, you can spray paint, you can work with watercolors and There are so many different options that they almost feed off each other.

I've really been into traditional flash, like painting traditional tattoo style and really bold outlines and bright colors, and that's where I'm at now. Although BMX is what I focus all my time and energy on now in the future, I plan to continue with my artwork and hopefully turn it into my professional career and turn it back into something I can still be creative in myself same and also. making a living, well you know, talking about their artwork is a good segue into the street event because basically this is an art form for these guys and basically this course is your blank canvas and you're trying to paint the best ones 45 seconds you can try to impress the judges as we take a look at our first competitor.

This is ty Mauro from West Palm Beach, Florida. This is his seventh appearance at the X Games. He is no stranger to the street podium. He has a silver medal at X Games LA. 2009 so tomorrow it's going to be a special Colorado because he does it very well but he's also extremely technical so let's see what he does and you got that silver medal and by the way as a rookie appearance at the X Games it's again a time of 45 second race. as soon as they get to the course and the general impression is that the best possible drug score you can get is 100, the last one so far, very good.

I just arrived with the table on it, there is Office 360, which means that it is rotating in this direction opposite to its natural, so here it comes to the wreck, huge 360. I have known it to be so huge, it was 360 to flat , you didn't hit any transition or part of a wedge ramp, can you go flat? Talk about the impact on your ankles. and your wrists, the impacts are high, not many people could handle it, but a guy likes time and he still feels it, oh, there we go, 180 Packard hits, 180 out and he's, uh, look at another very technical trick from over-crank on grind, Matt, you're trying to slide. on just the crank arm and the pedal right there, it's really difficult and going back to that rail trick, I mean, put it on the rail and you'll go out in the opposite direction, right there, that's just part of the technological know-how, it's the subtle things like that and they happen fast you have to pay attention here on BMX Street very good first reference.

I'm really impressed with that, let's see what massive reps are. 360 C is going to clear the front of that ship right there and as he lands you can see the impact, there are no crashes when he is at all, yeah look my body compresses right there, he lands flat, but he comes out of there like it was easy for him and the crooked ground right there, you could see that. He put his bike in the center of the rail. He put pegs on one side and the other. It's very difficult to do so how do we get these scores.

There are five judges, as I mentioned before, working on that 100-point scale. and the lows are eliminated and the rest through your average together so tomorrow start the party with seventy seven point three three again two runs is the best you can do to count the time inside the bar Nathan Williams of Nashville Tennessee or in games Appearances This is appearance number five for him. Nathan Williams is a special kind of rider. They have things that are practically impossible. I've liked some houses, so I'm really curious to see how you approach this tour today. connecting lines with different arms combined beautiful obstacles down with his gap stole peg bark sale bear in the quarter pipe truck driver off the bench truck drivers and you turn the handlebars in the middle of a 3/16 that case is like a 270 that comes on that hip Oh double Tyler nacho 180 down the rail, imagine trying to put your tires on top of that rail and that's really impressive, the rail itself isn't much wider than the tire so it's an S&S and it's balanced there to be able To do it right, Nathan simply fell on Smith at 180 on the rail.

Smith means you'll have a front peg on the rail and a rear tire, but he just kind of hung up, but that was really impressive, the highlight. For me the highlight was definitely the double tire ID and here's the adaptive work, I think it's not aligned at all so sending your tags to that rail with that gap is really impressive, pretty cool, oh here we go , here comes the speed. in that, look at your tire is going down that rail all the way and then you want them to bite into the end and again, going back to the compression issue, it flattens out, as you can see, you can see the tires flex and come together.

The body just wobbles right there, so there's a little bit of time left on the clock with a slip, but again with the format you get two races, the best of your two is what counts, not being one of the first two guys in go out. of the gate in any competition, you're also setting the bar for things right there, so he's going to slide it with a fifty-four point six six right behind five more, oh, and that aerial view there gives you an idea of what they are. The riders are competing here in the BMX Street Finals and then wander into their fourth appearance at the X-Games.

He's a tough guy. This guy will fly through this course and attack these obstacles. He had a little difficulty with the first trick. He looked like he was going to do it. rail up at 360 hard, I was guessing, but sometimes you know you don't have the right pop and that happens, so there you go with a toothpick, hangover, cross the channel, beautiful safety turn, you lost to through the fakie corridor. although if you can use the full 45 seconds we mentioned that at the top of the show so if they're in the fall or there's some step forward that you can add you can go ahead and you'll get the full 45 seconds of help for the wreck and that's pretty safe there and Dan is known for that too, he hopes to describe them in a couple of words, I say raw power on his bike, yes he is known for being burly and he is also known for quick execution of tricks, he probably brings some acceleration to this area, okay, he'll be back in time to expire there by that light and you can see by the look on his face, not by the rum, and he wanted that slip up to happen right when you got it, that made up for your flow for sure. here you go, here's a 360, a little too high at the end, a really impressive wreck and there you can also see the crash landing, but Dana, that's like riding right there, why our turn towards fakie, the universal term fakie, It goes sort of backwards and you could see what Dan was doing, thanks, he was actually pedaling backwards, it doesn't have a free coaster like a lot of these guys have.

Free coast means that when they land backwards they will not have to pedal backwards and that is enabled for him. jumping at 180 degrees going very fast and not having to worry about pedaling backwards with a lot of line towards these guys, that will bring up the brutal Hoffman who from Frankfurt, Germany, has a BMX street filler metal from the X Games in Barcelona in 2013 .and well watch out for this guy, he likes tech grind combos and can also do some long grind moves on the rail, here we go, Dole takes over so take a 180, that just shows how technical this guy is. to choose. 180 on the rail and one thing to keep in mind for him is to watch his pace, watch how quickly he connects something that gets the most out of this race, you have to do it, honestly, there you go, 180 submission back in the morning, another awkward 180 run Driving at 180 too, you see how it just pumps a little bit from the spot right there, just moves that front tire a little too much, propels itself through the different features on the course, yeah, a lot of These guys, if they don't have to pedal, they try, no, here's a manual for Senator Smith, which is a rail that justhang an unreal voter.

I think he had about nine seconds left on the clock when he washed off that rail, but that was taking shape. For a great race there for Bruno, it's really good. I have been following Bruno for a long time in the things he produces in all of his videos. It's amazing, lots of link lines with that manual, so I guess. That moron almost saw more of that. It has some amazing web edits. If he ever sits on the Internet, you have some time to kill Google. That guy's name is Bruno Hoffman, so here we go, the strike.

He just he didn't get the rotation or the tilt. enough and if you don't have those two together, you won't be able to stand up straight with the two timers like that, that's why you filled this rod for a second, he was going to be able to save that one and keep that one under. them there, but again with this format you get two races, it's better for you to count even on that drop seventy-one point six six, which puts the German driver in second places right now behind tomorrow, which will give him some confidence . in the second race knowing that he got such a good score with that mistake at the end, so he has to feel good about that, that's exactly what he was thinking, that even with about nine seconds left on the clock he was still able to put that score so we can clean it up and run to see great things from it.

Colin Variax from Hamilton, New Jersey, out of your way, yes, yes, DIA it is. I've known Colin for a long time, in fact, when he was he was about six or five years old and somewhere around there I met him running and he actually got into BMX freestyle. Watch it now at X Games. In fact, a rookie was here before as a substitute, but he never got a chance to compete, so we released him. the street circuit here for the first few attempts at it. Colin is a very good cyclist. You have great control from the racing cap over the gap there.

It's amazing to see the style in the way he jumped over that gap there. the channel, if you want, you get out of the text messages and it looks like it's going to add something right here, I promise, oh, it's trying to turn 180 degrees backwards, right on that rail over there, it's really hard to juggle with two objects that were aligned and Doing so is difficult. We get to the wave when it ends with that run still at 15 seconds like again because there's a couple of times you can use all of those 45 seconds whether you pick some or not and there's the buzzer so he'll leave it off but he'd love to have a good start here sadi, yeah well here's a great replay, this is the middle of the cabin and you can see he comes back and jumps over this extremely difficult one, he just got to the end. right there I just invite pure and simple control skills, right there we will imagine that you are doing a 180 degree turn on a ramp and waiting for your momentum to carry you and jump through that which has to be terrifying in its li-ion .

Pretty impressive stuff from tight acts like I said, he's been here in years past as an understudy so this is essentially his rookie performance the first time he's been here to compete so he'll slide to fourth place starting from now and look at that. the field looks amazing, I mean, hats off to the California Ramp Works race for the work they did both on the street and in the park here inside US Bank Stadium, many features to choose from here, these custom racers that we are preparing to bring an Italian writer here Simona drunk this guy was inspired by freestyle thanks to the video game Matt Hoffman Pro BMX 2 when he was a teenager this is his appearance in the x-games Sirona is incredible by Greiner he is extremely intelligent he is also a great artist so what I've seen in his videos is absolutely incredible, he's done things no other rider has done and you can see right there how he trimmed the peg on the way to Nollie to go over the crank arm, very original stuff , a great Street rider and also a pretty good flatland rider.

The rider too, so Flatland's skills will definitely be put to good use on the street circuit, as you can see right there, look at the bar. Oh, friend Balalaika jumped with a tooth tangled in the slightly crooked railing and aimed at this angle in two stages. Oh, I'll tie right. oh, there you go, this is going to show that it's not guaranteed that when you go out to that you're going to go all the way across and that, then, you're going to go up a frame rail, on top of that. I want you to try 180 off of that or if you're going to try to go and do it to pick there we go with the crank arms and they made a little crank arm opposite 180 on the end there and then he got to that he said no one else is about the ship's mousetrap, who does that?

I thought I was in trouble for a second but I know your stats that state it, that's becoming unique there at the end of the race and will definitely help on the creative side of things here we go is the nose turn, gotta making sure the knees are another way to move those bars, there we go, yeah, it looks like a torn tooth, here's the bottom of the foot, the creepier side, take that right foot off if you want. He rubs it, but enough to take away the fast plant, so the high mark we should have now is tomorrow with seventy-seven point three three while we wait for the score here for the Italian driver.

From now on, you need a well, here we go. you get to sixty-eight point six six, which puts the Monet in third place as of now, so it's time for our Oh Colonel Hoffman and Simona Borracho, sitting in the top three positions, to hear that that's just the half the way here. in round number one, remember there are two rounds and there is a full house here inside the US Bank Stadium, so this is how we are Mauro Hoffman and drunk from now on, sitting in the top three, you will have half the field left to go here in round number one and there's a BMX powerhouse right there Dakota Roche of Huntington Beach, California, is a silver medalist at the 2014 X Games Austin, tenth appearance at the boost and landings too flat, well this guy the only small one, let's write a 360 count from these steps, the floor now, load it with water, did you see that against that monster sign right there?

Dakota is one of my favorite living nollies: hangover, grind, huge transfer over the quarter pipe, bad square over the gap. and he is looking for backup at this moment, but the pace he has indicates that he washed, wait, this was one night or the kitten has to go, there is a lot of speed that he was carrying on the course, which is unlike anyone else until now. gap transfer with last and only Oh, full power on this guy, look, he gets a little bit technical and he can go both ways, he can go fast, he can go hard, but he can also tear it up and he can give you some pretty impressive lines like Well , huge egos end the black, a little time right here, oh boy, why did you bring up that authorship on your mother's research?

How about the power she gained? Although during the top half of that run, he's honestly one of the strongest. BMX riders right here is the nollie that was removed from the front wheel to hang on a perfectly executed toothpick and look at it, look at this guy's arm, this guy is so strong he can jump so high and that's what he does Street Riding You guys, most of the Street guys, are definitely some of the strongest riders in BMX and here's the failure, you can see his lean, this was not right, all his weight was inside him and on the front, and that's a student no. translate so that you follow so closely watching that you are watching your own replays that are on the video wall here inside the US Bank Stadium implanted in the inn, what would have been the one that would have come second with a neck of 73.3? he's like the second one, he's fine, you're very good knowing that he had a mess right there, if he can fix it, I mean, I was with that score, we'll get him, I'll take it anyway. but clean that up a bit, watch out, so now it's Mauro Roshan, he jumps into your top three.

Devon's emote arrived at Riding as a rider the difficulty level of it is enormous, as you can see, this is a 540 cockpit of that double-double chosen 180 official Duke 70 fly out. I'm very curious to see if he gets into the manual racing that he normally does. known for that, let's see what he has, so Manuel, as you can see here starting directly, he has rear wheel balance, he has good front wheel balance and he can go forward and backward. GG is the same line he conveyed that he did it. The half cockpit over the jump is fine so we're seeing the channel gaps coming into play with a couple of different riders here as we get closer to the 10 second mark again for who or counts the races It was 45.

Seconds into the crank link, the whip stole the pin down, turned its crank all the way and then caught it. Now it seemed like a complete 180 to make it basic, a demanding double button. Ollie tried to do the post 360, but he just didn't do it. have the juice right there, it's a really good race now before that, yeah, again, we talked about this at the top, the carriers, so many different subtle things that happen when it comes to this is such a technical aspect of the sport, so here's the crank. he flips the toll pin as you can see and his Craig hits the railing, that's got to scare the hell out of him right there, you can see his face, which really is a noise, you've got steely eyes on that, but I didn't look.

It scares the hell out of me, but since I can barely sit down, you'll see someone do some of the same things and everyone has their own style of it and we have a new leader with an 80 lat hello Devon emoji at the top. the leaderboard here, so now it's smiley maro Andros, your top three, what a jump right there, you have to feel good about that and we still have four riders left and this is the first round, there's still a second race to come, Shad Curly. We talked about him at the top of the show, one of only two riders to ever take gold and the previous nine times this event has been contested at the X Games, the young man is a powerhouse and he cares about balance and has been in the Correct balance is key for this guy, he's already starting with some good moves, I went for the manual, he couldn't catch it, but let's see what continues with the grind twisted up to 180 down the rail, another one who kept these style skills very flat.

It's written there that he knows Manuel, one of the best nose horses in BMX, who was great to cross the channel, you try it well with just a touch, that's what keeps him going, although again he uses all that time when the judge look in general. pressure, I'm already doing that, yeah, buh-buh-buh-buh, yeah, that's not going to be church to church for that 400 safety on the boat, read the warnings, you're spinning the bars and you're landing too much flat on that, what I finished. so, Chad Kerley, yeah, that was a good start right there, a couple things didn't go right.

Happiness. I would just like to get good scores. I'm going to tell you what we've seen so far. I mean he would use all that time and they finish strong here we go. I think these are the pegs where what is coming is weak. Everything looks fine. I still have a lot of suspension time. There you jump. You can see the compression. You see that rear tire, Nikhil Ruiz, right there, any landing, a lot of these guys run on a lower air pressure, so you'll see if the dirt riders and the Rodgers park, especially because they realize they're going to land a little hard.

So if you won 18 of that and that front tire made it like it got caught a little bit, but he keeps his feet on the pedal row with his arms there, yeah, racers see where the value of the racer's fee is , which will be shown right here because we had a minimal error, so here we go eighty 1.33 that will slide him in a second right behind Devon Smiley, so we have a little bit of a fight here in this first round of two, so it's definitely a sing early and tie bar or sitting in the top three places, but there's Brock Rayford, you're back last year's bronze medalist at the X Games.

Impressive, we saw our hearts in our X Games profile about two years ago, this street circuit was his blank canvas for 45 seconds. how Bart has been isochronous going down the rail to become a big star so far Wow, double peg to the hard nose 362 The guards want to say that he has a fantastic flow right now to help cross the opposite gap. The toothpicks are out, it looks like you're going to do something right. Here, once you got the lens to double lock, all you had to do was put one foot on the ground, I had a strange lien on that, but to climb that ledge and try to make your way through and it's amazing this bit of knowledge of the technology we keep talking about. yes, but it is oneone of the strongest leg rogers I've ever seen oh that was the opposite effect over time go for the huge rail head you won't see many of those out there I'm headed that way and there's a strong finish for you . returning bronze medalist from last year um amazing call that was really good gotta see here we go this should be the peg for 360 look at the power this guy had I think he has the record for the highest bunnyhop in BMX this is amazing Watched the toothpick and then you have to remove the shell and implant it back into the peg, okay otherwise that's very aggressive and you're doing it too falling into a scary set oh my god this is going to be a One interesting right here.

I threw him inside eighty-four point three three, so he slides into second, but now it's Devon Smiley, Rob Tapert and Jed Curley, his top three and we still have our two best guys from last year's event ahead of us , so joking. Right now I'm looking at this and I accelerate, you have to start strong, you have to finish growing, that's 100%. They want to see these guys bring the fence that they can possibly bring to get another guy out of the woods. Shana or a clever show grew up riding my skateboard. I was giving this kid lessons when he was six years old at my skate park.

He's about to give all the fans a lesson here in BMX street radness. 445 seconds. The first tricks have been. unreal there's a toothpickOh no he's enforcing the law but he couldn't grab the handlebars but those first two tricks were very technical getting to this I hope he continues as I continue here he keeps the momentum going again I'm still 20 seconds no change on the clock there, oh, there was a crazy calm with force Smithson meets Horseman, will have to watch that one again in slow voters, appreciate what just happened there to understand what it is, I think Milly, yeah, oh, gee, it's a four, maybe five and one combo move.

There are amazing people, two in front of 360 coming into the room, quite gone to 180 Wow, he had a slip at the beginning, but it was a great comeback and that combo move is going to have to get a repeat that they will fully appreciate and here we tell you here that you are you who throw the force and then my rear wheel can go down and this is the perfect myth to use the manual for specific things Paul, come on, think about that, what would happen if I landed without that mess? this one has been absolutely flawless, look at the speed scrubbing with the rear end they're doing on that rail, yeah, you gotta tune it right Kirk, at 180, honestly, textbook material here, so Shawn puts it together and that That's what's in it.

Of course, repetition that we saw when you see that slow mode, then you understand it and then you see that a real-time speed you say, okay, that was fast, what happened now, you know, it's crazy. I didn't expect to see that when I was just thinking maybe. a Parson Smith that would have been pretty respectable, as that score is also very respectable, a flat 79 even with that hiccup at the start, which is good enough for fourth place right now, so it doesn't upset our top three, but puts in the quarters now, with another round to go, there's one running back left in this rotation talking about Garrett Reynolds, he's won this eight of nine times, it's been contested, he's been extremely down in the field in last year's performance, won by a full 11 points, that was the difference between gold and silver last year at the X Games.

Often that's how good this guy is when it comes to BMX 3, he wrote the book when it comes to this contest from here and I guarantee you he's another guy from New Jersey. for my skatepark look at our train having good luck today this is really amazing. I'm actually pretty impressed by this, but so far so good, there's a nollie trucker in the space opposite a lip. Nice turn down, but you get speed. for a reason nollie q2 Padrón and Eric are known for so many crazy technical combinations, but it's also that the older brother does things like that he collapses on the wreck, the big Bober tail goes back the first time you saw that, yeah, look at that, like this that the trucker off the hip right there yeah look at those handlebars I love and he sends that stuff around the climber too in the middle of the tech combos and he hits it too but not many people in the world do that that's why it's sure remove the toothpick and there you go, Garrett Reynolds picks up where he left off with the blacks here and now it was after the bell, but just another example of the technological skill that man on BMX Street has when it comes to BMX 3, honestly, he's the name that comes up every single time, this guy has surpassed what he does, yes, all these tricks are masters in his duty crazy suit, but they almost smile if he approaches a trail, right ?

Dylan Carson device, the crime, look at that and this is what you're saying, the bar of him spins honestly. It actually changed the way BMX does the bars because the way you can incorporate them in and out of the crime landing on the Arimathea compression net to have control of Alec's body, this goes down, there you go, hit the handlebars in the second. I don't know how he does it, it's like putting his hand in the blender right there, he looks where he catches that thing and looks with a point of front tires. I hope to register at that point, so at eighty-nine point three three four here defending the gold medal. and guess what's in first place again, yeah, I feel like I'm not very surprised and Buzz helping Karis is fantastic, he really is, he looks like the gorilla from New Jersey, John California, now yeah, he showed off my gecko skateboard and He was always someone. and a different type of runner stood out that we have completed about one in two, it is their defending gold medalist from last year sitting in first place, we have a difficult time when we return to Minneapolis, we reach a third position with the same ball double they are going down the tube his grandfather is suffering incredible so far a lot of control these guys are bringing his aging is Devon Smiley clearly sitting in a silver metal position but you are defending the gold medalist Aaron Reynolds is in first place at the end of the first round, so that's your top three, but there's one more round to go, it's best to run the board, make Reynolds smile, and get your top three, Chad Kerley, don't count him out, he took on gold in this event before it was out of the top three, at this time with an 81 to 0.33, the runners gave the feeling that this is the best race, the accountants do not look to do the second and last race to feed us and take us the gold here.

Before we begin, let's talk to the third member of our team. I'm Kajinski. Hey guys, I'm in the field here, as you can see, we're here in a beautiful street field, but you might not realize it. The new thing in BMX is that these bikes don't have shocks or anything, they're really rigid, so the thing is these guys have to take all the impacts with their shoes, their wrists, all that stuff, you know, it really comes together, it comes together. In a pack, you basically want to absorb the impact with your body and you really have to go out and make things happen to make everything look fluid, so that's a hard part, but these guys make it look easy and that's why we're here at X Games, thank you very much Brian, that was a great explanation of the impact.

I mean, like you saw in that replay, Dakota Rocha, she's going to deflate like that, you're going to see all these guys just wobble. so, I mean, that's just muscle, that's pure strength and bite control and you come out of it, keep going, look, I've ridden Park in the X Games, you know, there's a lot of transition now that I'm a street rider too . On the side that I do this kind of thing over and over again, these guys have a really different build, honestly, thank you, this foot is touched here in the competition, they really do this day in and day out, you know when they're on the road or what whatever they are. from home to ride in the street as if it were another day at the office for these guys different salads there are cameras recording and there is Katie for fooling people otherwise they do this all the time it is incredible if tomorrow we take a walk around the city today sitting in the same place wow this guy Plate it up already, those first two tricks were pretty amazing to get far, they just falsely went down that step and then went over it, dude, they're coming out the side, so all Morrow is bringing the heat and the races number two, they hold over the railing. cheers, the supposed million that Brussels wins again is the term we describe when coming out of a backwards trick, you will hear that many here in the street field have to step forward, know what the problem is or from that 360 of on and off. they're saying the opposite direction to what you're doing we've had a stupid hangover go down the railing to a tail issue there's a little time left here look how it ends it looks like it's going to the wreck after that propeller with a pea to crush anything that the run scorer exploding will be the best thing he can do, you know, I think he's going to be close, he has to jump off the railing, I'm not sure what went wrong or what he was going to do.

Try it, but look at this move right here, a double pin and he jumps to the other side and he does some kind of control on the way down, that's amazing, that's control, oh, here he is over the railing, jump through the legs and find those pegs that just match. The time is, Oh Donald, like this, you not only travel a certain distance when you move at a good speed, your tremors shake us now to try to set the peg, but we will have to see what happens, although it is actually like that. the seventy-seven point three three with its first floor, so you're thinking that this one can barely fly, the first one is stored, it will be the one they wrote down, period, here we go and improve the seventy-nine point six, supervise Mario, it has that feel good.

That one, I'm actually the personal improvement in the store and a place improvement, you just buy a place that will take you from sixth to fifth right there because you know a lot of these people don't understand that you are all friends. today when they're riding, but you have to beat yourself before anyone else in the chain right here, so I think you should feel good about that, okay. Nathan Williams is currently sitting in a tenth position here with a very soft driver. Did he do it by linking multiple movements into these single lines? One on the road and comes from winning in the real video part.

Be a doctor. Wow yeah just a quick chip in the road and aggressively sideways but wait they got some real BMX gold with their videographer Peter Adams congratulations on that real BMX gold medal here we go nollie two pegs for 180, the hardware can be very difficult, let's say, oh, well, we have it going right now, this is really impressive so far and a Rough feeling that first time around fifty-four point six six oh, this is just under 10 seconds of football game okay how bad was that choice honestly those are amazing tires at 180 the way all the tires handle that rail like that is basically the same thing. wide as your tire and then plus the Adam 180 so impressive right there.

Nathan feels amazing after that race, he hung so much here, it's the crazy gap, you can see he aggressively gets in there, the flight goes sideways and I think oh look at that impact there he's able to hold on that was seen look thread the needle into the tire oh my gosh can you imagine you're driving towards the center line of the elevated highway there what look at the mechanics of that for To me it's like you're really going down there the moment you start to trying to move that thing, it feels like your tires are going to slide off that thing, you know, I think it's hard for people to imagine how, but a bike for these. guys, there really is an extension of your body, so these guys know exactly where the bike is, you know, between your tires and them, it's pretty amazing, really okay, so let's see what this does with your placement again In free time, he plays freerunner 54.68 because you see. there, the athlete preparation area, Kota Roche, rumbling in the background, there, what is it going to be?

You're going to need an eighty four three three or better if you're going to get into the top three, you need eighty nine three three. Better to take the lead from now on again, your top three are the smiling Reynold and Rayford, we talked about this before on vm exercise, what's it like waiting for that score? Oh, at eighty-four six six, Nathan Williams has in bronze metal position, how's that going? that Jim a whole seven spots Wow, can you imagine him sitting there waiting for the score to come up with that third place tie right now?

I'm just going to ask you what that's like, but obviously it was worth the wait because hey, you're on the podium at Roane right now the anxiety I was feeling sitting there because I knew he had a great race, he did some amazing things there and you want see how you're rewarded, there's some fantastic things about it, well, you're going to have to nervously look at that scoreboard.qualifying and see what happens to the rest of the competition when we meet again at Stanley Key in the UK, but then having trouble with that grid again, he's trying to get out of there with an aggressive pop and I'm dancing, no sir .

Those things that he's done over the years, he's actually opened up to people that I see how big of a gap you can really make down, so that we can go back to looking at that shotty 360 that's just book tan laces. of text, but now I had that again. he had a slip at the top of the race but he recovered, he made it, he's got a pretty high base speed right now there's still plenty of time left on the clock Wow Wow at 363 on that barsen fakie, let's see if I can keep this up Come on, if you can get another banker, he can get a really good score right here, so line up the 180 rail with the peg, you know what he didn't get up there correctly, he didn't have his body adjusted on the first rail push. the calories, you know, came out with those two big 360s, so that has to be very rewarding for Dan, so let's say after what happened at the beginning.

Wow, look at the size of that 360 in that gap right there, right into the fourth before the four turns. Stanley doesn't see there, that's what he's known for, he's known for his power, he's known for doing the biggest 360s of any BMX, looking at Reno Hoffman who you'll see next, we wait in the shop, Dan, late dance , sitting in the club, so enzyme with forty-two points. three three that will trade Hoover's loved one and you have to give them credit after you open the door and come back, it comes back swinging and important, when you have that slip up at the beginning, you know your whole mentality changes well. for him to get over it, that brings up a three sixteen excuse, that's great, you have a wife on your mind and you go out and chase him very quickly, we are often going to be sitting in a good position from now on, very technical shots. to move the pegs to 180, just like you started the other race, they will be keeping an eye on the elbow near the big full cockpit of 182, this is a great start to the race for Bruno, he has a very good score to maintain this. going 180 back Smith 182Crooked check, round is great so far, we mentioned he got his 2013 BMX Street silver at X Games Barcelona.

He's actually the first international rider to medal in BMX Street when he took that silver in the 2013 manual line, like you can go for everyone. you change it with Warren, the loading dock area, okay, this is great, Brenda will feel good so far, but doing it here and there is the bell, so that will be enough for Brenell Hoffman's fee, it was a good race, it was really good. run right there for Bruno, you have to feel great, go, you don't risk going, we all set standards for ourselves when we do these races here, so when you finish your race, that's what gives you the most rewarding feeling. like conquering a challenge, here is the manual line while he discarded the manual.

Look at a lot of real estate he is covering in this manual. Yo, that's the balance to keep the front tire off course. At that time, he was working towards it and he would definitely do it. let's see what this score is and I'm really curious to see what the judges see happening. It was a good free run with 71 point six six, which again you need eighty four point six six or better if you're going to break. top three, so he'll jump to six, they'll go up three places which will give him a flat 80, but I have to give him props for what he put together right there, he always has to give Bruno food crops at home, he's an amazing BMX.

Rider Collin Berry Niak Hamilton New Jersey is currently in twelfth place right now, so I could tell him my magic mile, tell him he's a great kid, he's really a positive, happy person and look at him soaring 24 on that rail. You can get rid of the memories of the first round if you slipped up because it's the best race that counts. This is really impressive so far. Now a bar, there's the half cabin with the board for the last one, helping him with it. difficulty here, it's changing the line a little, no peg on the double paper Boston, this career is a cigarette now, hopefully, college continues like this, you have a big boost and the CBDs look up, there's a tail hook on the space, right there, grab it. a little speed going into that signature corner 362 Smith going up to the rail 182 Crucible anything you have time to surprise possibly one more looks like time is going to end here, but if you're still going to send something, take it to that wedge and get over the wreck there, but yeah, props on that first run, so this will be an improvement for sure, forty point six ticks of the first round this will get them up, the question is how much is it going to move them.

Yeah, nice technical tricks in that race that you actually did, honestly if you look back at the trick that he did, he also improved from the first race and that, plus the gap is incredible. Look at Nollie Barzmann and he will continue. straight to the half cap bar, on top of that, which is really impressive, here's the 180 back, crooked, on the rail, you see he's splitting his bike, he left the egg and the ripe egg there and then to 180 , come back very, very impressed, that's very impressive because when you come out of that ICU you have to move the front tire away from the edge of that rail, well here we go, okay, wait, you play the rhythm in an eighty-three point six six you will get a little bit of contention on the podium, fast travel out of twelve ah and up to fifth place, so a good job done there in Holland, yes, the world, is that we have a good first case of apex in which represents New Jersey, what makes New Jersey a crowd here with that race, hey.

I'm proud of it, oh, there you have it, okay, the money that Barako, the next period out of Italy, consists of 11th place, starts to enter the top three right now and they achieved eighty-four point six six or Better, this is the second and last round. here on the BMX street the last twelve riders in line to Red Beach the best keep score look at that, I think he goes off the railing there he goes to the nollie like he's crazy writing very original fiction all day he goes for a Wally 270 or 360 over that gap on every ride they've done so far, no one's competition has tried it, there's a tangled tooth over the kingdom, which means you've stayed on the same side of the bike but you place your front leg and You cross the lane twice. spiral car in a Sarah Jane brass street dress the one that had to hang in the first race if I'm not mistaken was that amazing so far we are seeing a very original Roddick person in this is what he is known for, okay, gotta hold on for 10 more seconds here, crank with your arms, okay, tricky here, yeah, coming to the Shiprock and the hips, you keep coming here, there's that in the past, again, about the shipwreck, so cool, what great career since Monet.

Can. I can't even tell you enough how impressive it is, the only way it's really done, this guy is an early guy, it's a complete career for him, remember he had that mistake that was in this that wasn't in the first race, Yeah. double sides for the crank arm now look at this rider to Smith at 180 out there that's so original not many people should be Mexican I left everything about doing now how cool is the best could be that means a forty foot black griffin that name try the rigid erm rigid against the rich virginity look that was the race he wanted the first round he does it here round number two now the question is will it be enough?

How are the judges going to reward if? You, Ned, will be enough at eighty-five point six six, so we have a new name in the top three. The Italian is now sitting in a bronze metal place, so he is littered with smiley faces and now Brocco, your phone in the top three. Wow, the phone will feel great. after time and has its own terms, you don't even have tricks, there's your current leader, Garrett Reynolds won eight of nine of these things in previous years, he still has a second race ahead of him, as well as our current runners with position of silver medalist Devon smile but Bucks Ammonia Borracho puts in a third.

As of now, we have six runners left to get here in this second and final race, so we have reached the middle of the field of those six. Four of them are on the outside looking in Cotto Roche had a good start, he's got some good powerful lines, he had a little slip, a little wash, if you can clean this up here in the second race, we could see him shake those up. three ratings too, he'll bring you all here, so look at that War I with the monsters there, look at that air in the corner, this guy had both our good pop, good breadth in that region of knowledge, hangover, this is a great start until now. there is also a gap in the fastplant over the gap, again it has that fast pace compared to what we see in some of the other guys, here we go, the 360 ​​is thrown this time, it has to feel good so far, even Vicki hi. man, that one didn't look at them all, but every eye or two took a 180 for fakie to the full cover in the transition, so you see, wiping that left hand on the thigh, he drew the lady's son.

He's fine, he has a little time, now he knows he's going for power right here, 360 over the kingdom. Five seconds left to flatten another 360 there on a toothpick next time. It's been a long time since the chess game started here on the fret number. I've seen some guys about some problems in the first round, join it here in the second round, look at this order on the sine pulse, you can tell you on the Apple the black, so you built it to ride, let me tell you that. one that is there to hold signs, ladies and gentlemen, he is using it as an additional obstacle, man 360 above, that is the one that gave him problems in the first race, another space two, three, six, you can see that he comes out of the shipwreck sign on it traveled a good 15 feet there, very impressive, what's going to happen in the arch?

Simona Taco says that she jumped to the number three position with a need of eighty-five point six six feet which is best to get to the top. three, the maximum mark to beat is eighty-nine point three three, so here we go, it's anxiety where is your game, you look at the screen and wait for your score to appear, here we go, the coda says that he is a great rider and you came in with that and you're so curious to see what the judges are going to reward right now when the song is so needed for the score to come and you know, you've been talking about it, ah, it's an exciting time, I mean, what?

You know? What would I do now? They are here for me. I was there before duty said. I have no more faces today. Alright. Are you in second place? I can't even imagine what's going through his mind right now. The hardest part though. it's over, he's got the impairment, that's what he wanted to do, he went out, he did the job and there's a full house here, big boy, and he gets to eighty-five point three three, they won't take him to a boat in containment, but that will put you in fourth place so close, so close, what a great race, although you have to feel great about it, like I said BMX, you go against yourself before you go against the other racers so you can get the race you were working for and you can stop it Alex, that's the moment you're looking for, that's the feeling that gets you through these events, well Devon Smiley is currently in a silver medal position if he stays.

There he will be the ninth different silver medalist in the ten street events that have been contested here at the X Games. What a great start to touch 182,545 and almost a 270. This is when things are going to get really interesting. look at that huge big cube, our turns are very hard to move so op rail to manual to twisted at 180 Devon is known for many limits, he can do backward manuals, forward manuals, really, really impressive when it comes to joining tricks, there's some of those balance skills, if you go through that channel space that's at the top of the platform, we're a little messed up right there, that was a little trick, grab them, it just got up and the signal is that there's a Crank Turn to Zola, pick a couple of seconds left to be the last one for him when the doorbell rings.

Thompson when he moves the bar to make you jealous. I didn't get over it adding speed to do something like that, but again it shows you That too, for those bike control skills, I'm finally over metal at this point. Taylor is where the frame does not rotate 360 ​​with the body and the handlebars do not move. This is hard right here, you're at the front of the bike. now you have to step away from the rail and then pull the bar, it's very very impressive so here's the trick that will link with the manual pegs up to the manual to be produced by polishing at C 180, amazing, which was not exclusive of workers. line right there, there was a lot going on here at the end, so again he stops dead,jump around you, look at his feet on the bike right there, trying to try to get those pedals back, he made a little mistake. in a very interesting area, so let's see what has to emerge once inside.

Wow, you'll be left with that first run score of 87 which will give you eighty point three three, but it's still a silver metal spot by the way. now, but as I mentioned before and that holds true, he'll be the ninth different silver medalist we've had in ten BMX street events contested at the X Chad Kerley is currently in eighth place, the only other rider to ever medal of gold. In this event, other than Garrett Reynolds, what can you do with the next 45 seconds so far, all right? 182 oh inhalations. Chad ellipse, focus right now. Smith to the manual, this is the one who has known these lines here, so let's see what he does with them. will be set at 180 Matt Bacak fantastic job so far basically manual about almost a quarter of the new horse got deep into the nose manual kept the turn over the gap for fakie people put a load on that's what got him to the first race everyone here So 540 Sakhalin perfect, one more than what we saw in the first round.

This is impressive so far. Board 180 said, "Oh, if he goes off, I'd jump three back on the bike and let's see what happens for the rest of the race here. Impact." From that point on, he went to agitate, he didn't waste any time, he came back immediately afterwards and there it is, great Redemption at the end of the race. Chad Kerley didn't like the way he worked the first time, he said: you know what I am. I'm going to end the race with a statement and do it again, yeah, that disaster right there, their feet just couldn't take the impact as we speak before these guys take off and when they land there's so much impact that their body absorbs. so imagine your feet come off those pedals right there and you notice he's holding all your weight, there's so much force there you can see his feet fly really fast, it's one foot and one back, we jump back.

I was like very small. The problem is that he absolutely wasted no time and in the attempts at redemption at the end of his run is that I'm not going to get away without Megan failing and he made Kathak look weird at the end of that run so he ends up with an eighty. 1.66, it was only a couple of tenths of a point more than what he got in the first round, so that will leave him in eighth place for the day, so with three runners left, two of them are out. Of the top three watching this is their defending bronze medalist from last year and the rocker is often referred to from Destrehan Louisiana.

He is currently in sixth place. He was in the top three, but he's been knocked down, we'll see if he can get back up here. on the second final try, so Brock was riding really well all week so far to see his practice, here we go, oh we know he's trying to save it, but the legends anyway, right there there's nothing to do about it. I hope we can regain momentum and continue with this. There's a grinding tooth on the frame in A/L to rack up 360. Always turn this guy on. Incredible, it's a Breck cross.

It is close to being shipwrecked. Predicts that the cable becomes cloudy. Your unique visit down. A mysterious competition was going to come out and those two bars were fooling everything in front of them. This guy doesn't let anything go, he really doesn't and now I'm doing it there for Brock Rain because that was unfortunate up there at the top. part of the race just in case I was a wooden house L blood stick after L I was some extra tricks for you that was Brock 2.0 that motion time he's doing that for the fans here inside US Bank Stadium here's the Boston to freeze the perfect control of the dirt right there landed with both wheels balanced at the same time, there is the top rail to accumulate 360 ​​directly on the stick to jump and you know it had a hit of disorder that in a cut it came to them and you know it is that sometimes you have it under control, you know what you want to do but things don't go the way you want.

I've been through that many times before. It's frustrating for everyone, but you know what you just keep in power. Well, that will help you. leave him in sixth place that day while sticking to that score from the first race, so this is where we are now, we are left with our last two runners, last year's defending silver medalist and last year's defending gold medalist, your gold medalist, Garrett Reynolds - laughs sitting in first position, this next gentleman here from Toms River, New Jersey, talking about gender, can you, he's outside the top three, looking in, we know that Garrett he's getting a medal we know Devan smiles he's getting a medal so he complains Baraka was at the bubble point right now he's sitting in third place John Mercanti sitting in 11th there's a picture of his current leader the knight keep talking about who won eight out of nine contestants street event here at the last year's silver medal and got that silver medal as a rookie at the X Games, by the way, getting some props from a street park messed up our house.

Dennis Anderson at that time less aged, as did Garrett Reynolds, but here we go, we have a 45 second chorus. I'm going to write in Braille, the bar, he made a 360 degree stick on that rail, look at that, he made a stick on the jumping pegs. Wow, saved. that one over there his front wheel didn't go exactly where he wanted, he actually wrote on the ledge, but he came out with a Smith that shows that he is incredible at what he does, it really is this type of driving, he is very known for his control. and his ability to do so many tricks so fast Forrest bends the crooked groove 20 extremely difficult right there three-in-one combo down that rail less than ten seconds left here look at those removable tails right there his little Vader bobble loses a little speed in the quarter pipe and that will be the bell for your defending silver medalist from last year, so there's your current leader, he will be the last one to ride while we wait for the score here for Shaun.

Check out some replays here. Shaun began. he performed such a difficult move so well right there, toothpick to jump to the pegs to jump back up and this is where he probably landed on the ledge, but he returned to the blacksmiths, so it wasn't a total loss, right there the tail whip 180 to the wedge right here he's got a free coaster as you can see his bike doesn't have to pedal backwards like Hanley's did and now I'm curious to see if this will catch him you know no It was like this. exactly what he wanted, but he ends up with a 79, so those are exactly the same scores you got in round number one, which will leave him in 11th place and that means that with the arrival of our last cat, this will be a victory lap Garrett Reynolds will take home another BMX Street gold medal at the X Games.

Like I said, this guy wrote the book when it comes to Street at the X Games. He is so fantastic at what he does, he has so much power, so much control, and it's beautiful. He really is amazing, so let's see how he puts on a good show for the crowd right now. A guy from New Jersey is going to say if the cold metal is here or not. He'll just go out and do what he does. He'll just go out and just We've seen this before, when he ran the victory lap, sometimes he was even so free that if he doesn't have to, nothing stops him, he gets on his bike and he's a machine and he says I didn't pack anything.

I keep sending huge queues to send rags straight to a truck to pretend. You have 16 seconds left. Will he still go? Let's see what he has. Hey, you know what? Why don't you have a little fun with your victory lap here? The bar spins with my music. Look, this guy will probably take the scoop from the first time I did it and yet an 89 3 3 the first time just by going out and having fun, this could be the fastest cricket on record there, that'll be John. four cat rentals make nine out of ten ladies and gentlemen, even though it wasn't necessary, went out and put on a clinic getting a hug and a pat on the back from Dakota Roche right there, or you catch it. re gold silver bronze and Garrett Reynolds Devin smiling is someone Baraka by the way Devon and Simone their first medal at the silver in this event Garrett Reynolds takes another gold medal and continues his reign of dominance here on the street circuit.

Let's send it to Brian Kachinsky for an interview with our winner. Very well, here we are pure dominion. Reynolds X Games Gold. medalist once again here in Minneapolis Garrett, how did it feel to win the first X Games in the Midwest? As well. I just wanted to relax on my run and try to get into a rhythm once you've mastered the first two tricks. it gets into flow and it becomes much easier, yes, complete domination, you know, the funny thing is that here we are today in a contest, you know that you are among your competitors, but about a month ago I was in the streets with you.

With a lot of these guys as friends and teammates, how does that feel? You know today, is it different or is it just a session with your friend? It's not very competitive here, we're all with it, it's a BMX family that we all love. each other, we all support each other, that's what amazing is all about, congratulations again and job well done. I love interviews with carrots because it always gives the entire field a pat on the back and it's just another session with her friends, no fanfare. this guy like Garrett Reynolds, fantastic BMX freeriders, well it was a game of chess here on the street circuit and when all is said and done, Italian cyclist Simone Ava Rocco takes the brunt of it, her first medal in the X Games, Devon smiling with the silver, his first medal too and the ninth person to take silver in all 10 ContentID BMX Street events here at the X Games and it's Garrett Reynolds walking out of here with you, another grant and making it nine out of ten , it was a great knowledge of technology.

With them they barely moved to the floor here on the street field and Garrett Reynolds continues the reign of dominance, so take another gold medal here from the X Games Minneapolis here inside US Bank Stadium.
