I don't think the announcers did a good job. Look at their reactions/analysis to Jaie doing a front nothing bike flip and Pat doing a cashroll tailwhip
Back in the day, 3's and bars were a big thing...then flips....then you were there, then whips...now, just wow! The combo's these guys do is what we did on some bmx game early and mid 2000's.
That’s exactly what I thought. I was kid doing this stuff on Dave Mira’s freestyle BMX 2 and thinking it was way insane and no one could ride like that but now they are haha
This new event was certainly cool. But it does not replace big air. I like quality over quantity. Would rather see some super polished tricks over the gap and then up the huge quarter pipe going as high as they can go and trying to land it versus doing a bunch of tricks in a line like mega Park
Excellent work by riders, mad skills, I feel like they riders are limited on what they can do because of park setup, layout and options available to throw down best combination of tricks, with limited time,
It’s too on key , he name dropped half the riders tricks in best trick last year before they dropped in to send them, totally killed the element of surprise.
On Daniel first run the commentator says double downside 360 . It was a single downside 360 but looked like he was going for a 360 downside superman but never got the legs fully out
0:52 Daniel Sandoval Lets see if anyone gets this reference "It stands for Sandoval, Yamanashi. Sandoval. Which translates for: If you call me Sandy again, I'm gonna cut your body in-half with a hubcap."
7:35 I watched very closely and it does not appear he tailwhipped the bike in the opposite first direction. It's confusing AF and hard to tell even when u watch frame by frame, but the tailwhip rotation direction of the bike is always the same way, it only sort of appears to flip because he waits until he is completely upside down to continue the last rotation, and when he's flipped upside down the same whipping direction is now reversed (from our point of view), but it's still the same rotation direction from his perspective.
You can see when he takes off, the back of his bike is going to his left, and again when he's catching it at the end, it's coming in from his right moving left.
@@justinmusicandskateboardin9282 The reason it looks weird is because the tailwhip almost doesnt get the rotation in and you can see him adjusting the bike to counter that. Which makes it look like a whip rewind. He might have even been trying to go for a rewind who knows.
@@Bmxicano2 Look closer, he DOES "stop the whip".... But he doesnt rewind it. Read my comment, i think he may have been going for a rewind but thats not how it turned out.
@@youtubedeletedmynamewhybother I did read your comment. Go see the replay on his instagram, you can see it clearly whipping back. On here it's cropped out you can't see it well.
Why not just have a vert ramp instead...is the reason because Vert isn'r as popular as it once was, so less riders learn how to ride? Because it doesnt seem like the riders have issues riding here.
@@AnthonyHigham I'm not arguing that they're interchangeable terms. I'm not sure why some BMXers have such a hard time understanding hierarchical classification. I got in a similar argument once where somebody was adamant that it was wrong to call a footjam a nosepick. It's like arguing a truck isn't an automobile, or an eagle isn't a bird.
@@matthoover111 I agree, I don’t have an opinion on the matter, as I am merely a spectator, objectively enjoying watching R Willy come in as a roller blading scooter kid progressing action sports, all while receiving praise from most fans and atheletes, and animosity from some bitter or jealous legacy atheletes.
Windshield wiper was the name they gave the trick way back when it was invented. Ryan here is just doing it in the middle of a front flip and doesn't need to kick it back, that's why the announcer is a bit confused.
Where’s all the people? Also the ramps are for regular footed riders. What about the goofy riders? Hopefully they got extra points! Is Covid still a thing? I just went to a baseball game with thousands of people and we have these dink Xgames events like it’s not popular. 🤷🏼
The fact the announcers talk over a double backflip like it's nothing goes to show how crazy progress has been made in the last 10 years
I don't think the announcers did a good job. Look at their reactions/analysis to Jaie doing a front nothing bike flip and Pat doing a cashroll tailwhip
@@bboymyers3853 I dont think they even watched Jaies run, they were shocked he moved into the lead.
Double flips aren't really that difficult as they used to be (especially when you have cashroll variations, Aussie rolls, etc.)
These announcers suck
They should have got Scotty Cramner out hes a great announcer for x-games.
Ryan Williams is insane. That run was so clean.
Back in the day, 3's and bars were a big thing...then flips....then you were there, then whips...now, just wow! The combo's these guys do is what we did on some bmx game early and mid 2000's.

Ryan’s an absolute monster taking the sport to another level, bloke never fails to amaze, pats on another level too🙌🏻🙌🏻
2:17 is the best BMX trick I have ever seen. That is so amazing!
So crazy I remember selling my handle bars to the first rider Bryce when he was like 12 in 2007 😂 came a long way!
I didn't realize it was R willy at first with the helmet. Love that guy such an awesome Bloke
Me either. He had the fullface on the winning run.
Serious lack of Scotty Cranmer announcing
The bunny hop front flip off the landing was sick
Having just bought a BMX so I can take my son to the local pump track I’m amazed at what these guys can do
Wear your helmets and you will have a blast, getting bikes for me and my lil guy soon!
Morgan Wade needs bigger ramps
He's a total BOSS
In the movie RAD, just a backflip seemed to be an almost impossible trick. Look at the progress the sport has come to!
This is a great event. It's like big air except you get twice as many tricks per run
They straight up need new announcers. These riders are doing some insane stuff and they talk as if it’s a golf tourney.
Scotty Cranmer xgames needs you back.
@@formulaic78 absolutely!!
Pat Casey insane🤯
Ryan William's is insaine,taking it to a whole new level for sure
Woke up early just to watch this and it’s gonna be worth it
Front flip kickless on a bmx bike is insane. 🔥 🔥
Still got the front flip turndown poster of Scotty Cramer
Saludos desde México bmx
Bro the windshield wiper was so dope
Larrin's so good. First time seeing him ride.
That gold medal run was bananas
will they be a full replay of the events
Yes, tune in tomorrow. Full replays will be posted 24 hours after event.
@@XGames thanks and y'all should come out with a x games video game
@@XGames so? Where is it?
Beyond outstanding that R Willy, setting the standard bruh 🤛
“360 double downside tail whip” is just a superman 360 dude.
This new event was certainly cool. But it does not replace big air. I like quality over quantity. Would rather see some super polished tricks over the gap and then up the huge quarter pipe going as high as they can go and trying to land it versus doing a bunch of tricks in a line like mega Park
I love big air, this is an awesome set up and different
Ryan Williams on another level that was awesome
Rwilly is out of this world. The living GOAT!
The man, the myth, the legend: Ryaaaaan Willlllliiiaaaaaammms!!!
frontflip kickless on bmx :O
Daniel Sandoval is such a beast on the bike
I'll be the one to say it.
Mega Ramp is better!
Anxiously awaiting this format to get 40 feet bigger in the next 5 years lol
Think how crazy tricks will be in another 10 years.crazy.
You'd know willys front flip trick if you ride scooters ;)
Excellent work by riders, mad skills, I feel like they riders are limited on what they can do because of park setup, layout and options available to throw down best combination of tricks, with limited time,
Bring back rollerblading
Big up Elliot Sloan for letting X Games use his back yard!
I was like "this ramp looks so familiar" 😂
can’t wait to see ryan in nitro circus later this summer!
R willy is just a different breed
I remember when literally any trick here would have been the best trick you’d ever seen. Foam pits changed everything….
Where is the full broadcast
Congratulations Ryan!!
missing scotty cranmer in the announcers :( the legend might come from a different brand but his info is on key,
It’s too on key , he name dropped half the riders tricks in best trick last year before they dropped in to send them, totally killed the element of surprise.
The frontflip windshield washer comes from a scooter trick, its a rewind. Frontfip rewind. Rwilly is king
I wish X-Games would return to normal size ramps. These circus ramps exclude 99% of riders on the planet.
THATS THE POINT ITS SUPPOSED TO BE THE BEST IN THE WORLD
RW is a beast on bmx.
On Daniel first run the commentator says double downside 360 . It was a single downside 360 but looked like he was going for a 360 downside superman but never got the legs fully out
los x games ya no son lo k eran. Aun asi agradezco que se sigan haciendo
0:52 Daniel Sandoval
Lets see if anyone gets this reference
"It stands for Sandoval, Yamanashi. Sandoval. Which translates for: If you call me Sandy again, I'm gonna cut your body in-half with a hubcap."
Why did you stop doing full coverage on TH-cam? Not everyone has espn+
When the scooter kid takes over a whole sport lol
Rwilly is on his a game this year
nitro circus boys are bred different
YESSS BOY RW goat
Crazy you guys put this behind the ESPN+ paywall. I bet your viewership is at an all time low.
epic event!
6:45 isn't that a triple?
Everyone was really, really good and then there's Ryan Williams

You can clearly see he stops it and whips it the other way

Hows godziek?
Apparently Godziek means “o’clock” in some language
🎉so cool
Ryan always sicko
LFG willy‼️
announcers dint know what a kickless was lol
still on 720p.. time to upgrade the quality
Commentstors got so excited about this one guy with a backflip harpsichord but when toohey went full send they just criticized lol
They made this course for Williams.
@@3xWoody Fanboy? Does that doorbell really have fanboys?
4:36
Jaie Toohey was best for me

Yes
We do have a solely vert contest! Check our uploads later this afternoon!
Most the bmx vert guys are old and retired now which is unfortunate, I know Vince Byron is still out there killing vert ramps though
hopefully ryan makes a Video.
you think xgames would know how to upload in 4k surely they have decent cameras lol
Announcers not up to the job here sorry to say. Misidentified or missed tricks, built no hype and no real reaction to some of the crazy tricks.
R Willy does tricks that the announcers don’t even know what to call them. “Windshield wipers” lol.
It is a windshield wiper variant.
@@matthoover111 was windshield wiper and kickless used interchangeably for bmx or scooter?

@@adamant5550 if you watched practice they all did lol 😂 so clearly the people competing.
@@nawdawg8021 what do u mean by: 'if you watched practice they all did' pls explain?
@@beenmicrophone5817 Did you watch practice? Were you there?
this is getting too repetitive, they need to add something or change something to the ramp.. its the same ramp, tricks, and riders every year. :/
?? this is the first xgames on this ramp & 4 trick layout ??
These commentators just aren’t great? they shouldn’t be the commentator’s in my opinion they aren’t aware of bmx
X games has gone downhill 😂 using people backyards and skateparks and not getting zoning for public crowds. Let alone only 3 sports.
For the algo
