Thanks for watching X Games!

Thank you X GAMES! Not only did you give athletes careers and take action sports to where it is now but you fueled an entire generation of kids to follow their passions. Regardless of what we’re doing now, the X GAMES literally helped raise a generation. Now we get to watch the next take it further than we ever imagined. 🤘
Amen to that! Dude i was 8 went tony hawk nailed that 900. I remember watching it on the edge of the couch literally shaking i was so anxious for it to finally happen and BOOM! He lands it and i jjst jumped and screamed YEEEEESSSSSSS!!! And then i cried while laughing its all my friends and i could talk about. Im so thankful for being a kid when i was.
@@jamesbower8245 I was ten in 1985 and I got my second bmx, but this one was good, a Raleigh super tuff burner, I love bmx, it may have broken many of my bones over the years but it was worth it.
Hope you catch some likes, you’re fishing
@@bradleymitchell3808 this is a year old. good one lol
Bob Burnquist's final run in the 2001 Vert Finals, is still to this day, the single greatest thing I have ever seen on a skateboard. Bob is my all time favorite. Watching that man on a skateboard is pure magic.
I think the greatest thing about the X-Games today is that it dosn´t matter who you are or where you come from....it only matters that you share the same passion, the same inspiration or just enjoi the same feeling. So please keep it up for at least 1000 more years!!
this is one of the best X-Games videos ever
that 900 of Tony Hawk still gave me goose bumps
That clink of the coping makes it even better
Tony touched
for me it was that Travis Pastrana double backflip never forget it and where i was when i watched it
Wish you didn't eliminate Inline competitions, as well as not highlighting them in a 25th recap. Taig Khris double backflip, and basically every run the Yasutoko brothers ever put on could have been a nice add to anniversary
I remember watching X-Games in the late 90s early 00s with my dad. He was a computer programmer who never stepped on a skateboard in his life.. but to my absolute delight, he was always excited and enthusiastic about seeing these beautiful moments with me.. We saw Tony Hawk's 900, Bob Burnquists 2001 miracle run, Travis Pastrana's double backflip... Im so grateful my dad shared these moments with me and now I have the memories to treasure. I miss him so much. He was a good father to me. To any fathers out there, please find something you and your kids can both love and celebrate together. 😁
Guys let's not forget the unsung heroes of X games: the camera staff . THOSE SHOTS ARE 🥇🔥🔥🔥
One of the reasons dave mirra got so good is the fact that he had mat Hoffman, and the other slightly older riders who really took him under their wing while at the same time treating him as one of the lads and pushing him to do the very best he could, and showing him love and friendship because they admired his talent, the 90s were the golden age of bmx, from 2000 onwards the vibe of bmx changed, for some reason the competitive side of the competition riders seemed to spread through all the companies and the riders, and instead of everyone pushing each other and helping one another, they started to play mind games and try and put people's riding style or ability down and almost looking down on the riders who were coming up.
Glad I got to see it and be a part of it from 1983 onwards.
I remember being 7 years old when I saw my first X Games on TV. I'm now 30 and still watch the X Games!
34:22 That effortless snatching of the bug was impressive.
🤣🤣🤣 I I wonder if he did that on purpose or that was just his body language at a very lucky moment.
Thanks for this awesome time-capsule X-games ! Would have loved to see the Yasutoko brothers ripping the vert on rollerblades tho..
Yeah they were HUGE back in the day!!!
This is one of the most nostalgic things I have ever seen. I remember watching x games and metal melisha etc in the late 90s and early 2000s as a young teenager. This sparked my love for 2 wheels and the rest is history!. Thanks for upload, genuinely loved this one. So many sick memories.
bring back rollerblading!!
Agreed aggressive inline needs a comeback
Thank you guys for keeping action sports alive much respect from nz
From the old school days to Mid school and beyond
I’ll always love BMX!
BRING BACK THE ROLLERBLADING...these cats in these days are GNARLICIOUS.
not a single mention of rollerblading on the whole video, no the yasutoko brothers no fabiola da silva, its like if the X games want to delete this sport , SAD
The summer of 99 was the best year of my life ! Tony set the world on fire ! Inspired a whole generation to pick up a skateboard! Good times
I remember watching the first few x games with lumberjack events, BMX Racing and rock climbing AND surfing 🤦🏾♂️ I’m old 😂😂😂
Gary Ellis raced at the X Games?
Bmx racing was sick
@@XGames Blading is ready to return to the XGAMES. 2020 made people realize how fun it always was. And its progressed so much. There was a worldwide skate shortage. People wanna blade
@@Habeev07 I agree with you, but I don’t think these sports are going anywhere. Just like with rollerblading. It never went away, it just got more “core”.
I remember back in the ln the mid 90s hearing about this thing called the x games, and they were actually behind the things I loved and did every single day, I was a skater in the 80s and in the late 80s I switched to bmx (freestyle, flatland Street) it was all one thing at the time,
I found that the x games were on one of the five terrestrial TV stations we had in the UK back then.
It was on twice a week, a one hour show of all the different events, well I programmed the VHS, put a tape in twice a week for six months and watched the bmx events and I found my heroes, dave mirra, matt Hoffman, Denis McCoy, Jay mirron, Simon tabron, Jamie bestwick etc etc, it was the best thing ever to watch dave mirra on the street course with my mates and then go out and ride and push each other to go further and get better, all because we were hyped at the things we watched the vert, street, and dirt bmx riders do, I had many many great years of riding bmx with friends.
Rip golden boy.
Best reaction ever for me was to Mitchie's 1260.... "KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS!!!!!" - Also growing up watching x games, back in the day, like late 90s early 00's, you could miss a trick in a run and still podium. But that is part of the days gone by. Once you got your nyjah's and your yuto's and your shane oneills, etc, there is no room for error now. X games happening multiple times a year was the best change...I still watch replays from 2017, 18, 19 big air, park, street...god I love the x games.
Thank you X Games. Watching them with my dad every summer is something I cherish to this day.
Sal Masekela. What a legend. The X Games isn’t the same without him.
I am truly grateful to have fully experienced the early 2000s era of X Games
i love this sport but i have missed all those great moments.....thanx to you onw i can now watch them all in one video and get my mind blown, goosebumps & unbelievable inspiration/motivation!!!! also nice to see the legends talk, they all seem very humble and positive!
EPIC Compilation, really great job X Games for putting this together! Really Amazing Memories ,))
Its incomplete though. Blading needs to be represented.
This is crazy entertaining . I’d say give me more but this is huge. Big thanks.
What more would you want?
Xgames is my favorite thing to look forward to in the summer for like the last 20 years
Love the Deegan-Pastrana rivalry. Both great guys who helped make Freestyle Motocross what it is.
25 Years of X Games and no Inline Skating in it...
Sickest edit I’ve seen from X Games in a long time
Core memories revitalised - thanks X-Games!
This was so cool!! I could’ve watched it for 3 hours!!!
Had to watch that double back flip by Pastrana a few times. Gave me the chills. It looks like his head touches the ceiling!!
Bring back inline skating!
Man I still remember watching that vert best trick and tony kept trying the 900 and when he finally got it we all went nuts. Before the internet was a fun time.😢
Congratulations X GAMES see much more years and all the success in the world.
Greetings from Mexico.
You guys fueled my childhood. Thank you
Thx x games for delivering awesome action i love the best tricks I love skateboarding the 900!!
The best 45min ever uploaded to TH-cam !!!
I love this its like a birthday gift!
Is it your birthday?
Happy birthday!
Yeah well tony hawk landed the 900 on my birthday 😂
Who The Fook Is That Guy lucky
15 years later and theyre still scared rollerblading would might damage bmx and skateboarding industry.
One day soon blading will be back in the games.
It still amazes me that so many girls and women can do this, and just that thought gives me confidants to try and skateboard again.
True female empowerment
The most memorable ever!!
I will never forget Bobs pefect Vert Run.....gives me chills everytime!
It's crazy to see how far bmx jumping has come, from the first x games where the jumps were more about dirt riding and the jumps were on a down hill slope for speed, to now watching bmx big air, these lads are doing insane stuff that makes evel Knievel stuff look tame, although I don't think any of us would have even rode a bmx if evel hadn't been the massive world star that he was, so glad I grew up with all that stuff.
X Games 25th anniversary fyi on video game EA Skate (2007) i remember big air and street course was amazing ! And sal muskela you make a legend host
X gane por siempre!!! Muchos recuerdos y vivencias por tan solo ver la programación de los grandes personajes del deporte extremo... Un contagio deo que a uno le gusta siempre ver....
Me encantó el vídeo
I love xtreme sports this is awesome!!!
This was so sick and inspiring but i'm kinda sad that you included almost no winter xgames because I like them at least as much as I do the summer games!! Anyway still insane 25 years letss gooooooooo!!!
The Winter X Games started a few years later than the summer version so we've got a few years to work on that still!
No, this is for summer games. They need to add blading back
X-Games... Please dont ever leave us!!
My mom grew up with KRob, he came to my school every year. I taught his kids how to swim. Such a great guy. RIP
I love this. Goosebumps
Shalom afternoon howdy how.
Thank you XGames for showing the world what hard core sports are all about, taking that hard core basic nature, to the next level, again, and again, and again and again!
In my opinion, every one of you athletes are Jedi knights of the craft!
Shalom
DEAR XGAMES youtube authoritative manager... Please Voice this & bring back Sal Masekala to X Games.. this guys made the commentary so much better!!!!
Woah justin sal muskela is retired back a year ago man
Sal and Blading
amazing compilation, but how are you not gonna talk about Shaun Palmer?!
love it i have always loved the x games i look at it like its its own sport all together but my one big question is what is Sal's favorite extreme sport ? i have always wondered he strikes me as a skater but just wondering lol
This is so cool
22:48 this shot…..chills everytime
Two words for the X Games: Totally radical!
So Sick!
Stoked 🤟
Mirra riding vert gives goosebumps
44:16, the fact that he landed saved that with a firecracker is almost better than if he'd made the full rail.
I’m currently 20 turning 21 years old in a few weeks but.. I’ve kept seeing X games and getting myself into skateboarding Maybe even BMX and inline skating but I’ve never been to a actual X games before I hope for there 30th they do the classic logo for it and hopefully I can attend more events like this.. from Australia I hope I can see the sport grow again like it was in the 2000’s
Why don't you guys do aggressive inline, vert doubles or bike racing anymore?... Like go back to the roots, I think it'd be a big hit. I LOVE aggressive inline.
ALL of these need to come back. Events like these will keep the freshness that it has lost over time, and needs to be revived
true love
Wish they would bring back aggressive In-line
THIS NEEDS TO BE BROADCASTED WORLDWIDE
Nice
No mention of rollerblading. They had a big part of starting the x games.
7:17 Brian Deegan is right!! It will never happen again!!
Bring back the Inline!!!!!!
YES. I cant believe they didnt have a section for blading in this when Blading is arguably the reason Xtreme sports took off in the 90's
a nice show
Humanity needs rollerblading back!
Tony hawk legend
“Supercross racing bikes” 🤣 what a dork! It’s called a DIRT BIKE!!
42:49 Iron Lotus..
Que buena vídeo
what good video
nice
The lack of love for inline makes me sad. The battle of the brothers was legendary
Xgames for Life!!.. THPS for Life!!..
Yeah amazing make it happen
i grew up emulating this! :D
That Jake brown slam man. It's the worse because theres literally nothing you could do about it
How can you make an 25th anniversary episode without mentioning rollerblading. Its part of X-games past and now it looks like they try to erase it from its history. They talk about love for sport and recognition, but i still see some exclusion an discrimination. So i guess some extreme sports are more equal than others.
Yeah they don't really talk about some of the sports that were very important back then, like rollerblade or luge or surfing
Is P. Rod 's gonna be in 23 Jump Street?
❤
36:17 cameraman da real mvp
Are you guys nuts? U completely cut out aggressive Inline? Thats not right. Ok, in the end the yasutoko Brother destroyed it, but cmon, that was several years of progression too.
36:15 the camera man though
So why is roller blading not in the xgames anymore
Bc it died. Ever see someone doing tricks on roller blades since the 90s
@@jmajesty9739 it died bc xgames decided to ignore it. It was as popular as skate at the moment.
@@jmajesty9739 Its actually in a good position with companies being skater owned now. Blading is close to being back in the games.
R.I.p Dave mirra we love you The Godfather of bmx…..
how did he get up???????????????????????
Where are Eito and Takeshi Yasutoko?
Not a single mention of any rollerbladers. Even though x-games was started with them and was the main event for first 5 years. They showed lots of clips of rollerbladers but still no love. Kinda sad. Now go ahead call me a fruit booter. 😁😘
Fruit booter. :)
I’m saying, in-line skating is as 90s as it comes...
One day soon I feel blading will be back. They cant deny the level of skating.
10:22 scotty cranmer has like 9 x games medals not 3!
9 total: 3 gold, 3 silver, 3 bronze. The title says "3-time gold medalist" though.
Sorry I thought it just said medalist not “gold” medalist.
That Backflip destroyed great Riders like Clifford Adoptante, Dan Pastor, Jake Windham, Trevor Vines, Dustin Miller, Kris Rourke, Jeremy Carter, Kris Garwasiuk Etc.
Protect Sal Masekela at all costs
the adds, come on X games
How you think they made 25 years? Gotta get that money bro 😅
