Just want to clear the air. Everyone there was super nice to me and we all talked and were laughing together. Nobody treats me different because they think I’m a “Scooter kid” or think I haven’t been around long enough. I’ve been riding a BMX my whole life as well, even before the “Nitro Circus stuff”, people see that when I ride with them just like it’s a normal session at your local skatepark. Varga deserved 1st place and I’m proud of him, BMX ain’t going to level up if we are fighting eachother. I love BMX!
Shut up
I wish they could have given you both first. You both did tricks noone else can do
You won that...F all that biased ass bs from the "" click"".
That jealousy is something else...
Both my sons watched both tricks...They both said RWillys was best. Should be first place.
@@robfolks risk and reward was greater with the 1260 dont get me wrong i love rwilly but varga was insane
This was one of the most chill X games I've ever watched and I loved the vibe....
I really wish sandoval had landed the decade bar decade. Hopefully we see that in an edit soon
I thought it was a 720 decade bar to downside whip?!?!
I thought it was decade, truck, down whip.
Call it what you like, it was absolutely ridiculous.
@@carsonpearce5980 I wanna know what Daniel calls that trick
@@TheCaptainsCog Same here.
I think the tradition is that the rider gets to name it once they land the trick, so I suppose we will just have to wait.
Ryan should've taken the win. His trick was easily the most impressive.
@@brendonbrazier9347 I totally agree. He was robbed. A 12 on a quarter is nice. But Ryan's trick is KILLER.
Ryan Williams is just so different in this. You can tell he’s not “one of the guys”. Lands his trick and nobody rushes towards him. I think for a while BMX looked at all the big air Nitro Circus stuff and thought that didn’t count because of giant ramps and air bags but Ryan just pulled a trick not one of them has ever thought of attempting and he did it on the same ramp they’re riding
Absolutely
@@Rajakryst144 seriously, one person clapping for a world first
Yeah thats true but have you ever seen him pull a rail on street ?
@@GilesForrester he is there to ride a contest... do we say hey man Kevin peraza doesn't ride dirt why does he enter the contests... did anyone!!! Ryan did a worldy on a small wooden box and got one clap... get outta here with that bro... I've been riding for 26 years I've seen the decline... bmx isn't fun anymore if you dont click up
@@Rajakryst144 ... I'm not dissing the dude yo just cos he rode a scooter to begin with ... he's amazing no doubt , but somehow there's a BMX core that ain't there you know ? Its hard to put into words ... maybe its something to do with coming from the street first...
Sandovals trick is just insane. If he landed that, I don’t know how judges could decide.
Varga's 1260 was insane but i would have given it to Ryan. Double flip 3 is just different gravy.....
Hell no...
What!? Lol we've seen aussie rolls before; never saw a 1260
Feel like the dudes lowkey treated Ryan like he was out of place , when the guy is doing stuff no one else has even attempted
That’s the jock vibe , dam near why I’m over skateboarding ! Over going to skateparks and the vibe is way off due to people that don’t know how to just vibe and not be a hater!
Most of these guys have competed together for years. I think we all know ryan was in these events because his event (big air) wasnt an option. So he isnt a regular on the comp scene, and doesn't have the same close relationships most therr have. Many live close by and ride together, he just isnt a part of that. I dont think they were harsh on him. I just think they don't know him very well and know hed likely be doing big air if it were an option, and you cant build years worth of relationship in a week, so the vibe is just different. Most of those dudes are mad nice and super inclusive, ive experienced first hand. But you wouldnt make the same joke to an acquaintance as you would to your best friends would you? I think thats the dynamic we see. And in the aspect of his main event being big air, he is a square peg in this round hole, but there wasnt a square shaped big air hole, so he got in where they invited him. He was invited, so he belongs obviously, but if he had a choice, hed be doing a big air event and everyone knows it. I think ryan is great, talented, progeessive in a big way, but that doesn't mean these other guys know him very well. Toohey and buckworth do from nitro and being aussies, but the others dont have that experience. Id say we shouldnt assume the worst of situations we might not understand very well. Interpersonal dynamics are complex and rarely as simple as "theyre bullies."
He honestly rode like he was out of place ..could you actually see him getting gold in any of the events?
@@N-B-MMA he was only invited into the best trick events, and if he had stomped the aussie roll, i do think he could have taken the gold. Thats a gnarly trick. But he didnt have the time hes used to with huge jumps, and i think the lack of airtime severely crippled his performance. That said, he does bring some of the biggest tricks done on bmx to date, and many are ones he did first. They're almost all on big air type jumps though, so while he has the bonafides to be in a best trick comp, i believe big air is really the only time his skills will shine, barring some unforseen luck. Tricks he can do on big air are not the same on a dirt jump or park sized box jump. He is so used to having a solid two or 3 seconds of airtime, so when it goes down to under or around 1 second and a third of the air, i understood why he didn't stomp his tricks at all. He is at home in big air and if he has the option, he would have shone, but i think X Games knows his bag of tricks is deep and he has a large draw, and wanted to include him where he might have fit in, absent his regular discipline. I think they did a decent thing by inviting him, and i think he deserved the chance. There was just a bunch of factors he had to overcome to take the gold, and it ended up being much more difficult than one may have guessed. I think he deserves the respect and had a place there, not only because he was invited, but because he has brought bmx forward in some aspects that some people wouldnt like to admit if they dont care for him. I disliked him for a long time because he was a scooter kid that was good at everything, but i gave him a chance to see what he is about and i had to respect it. He does things even other big air pros wouldnt do, and that's nothing small. We might disagree on his place there, or many of these things ive said, im not sure. But im just being as honest as i can about the situation and trying to be fair. He belongs in big air, and had no option for it. He tried his hand where he had an opportunity and it didn't work out. If it had, he could have taken both golds home he competed for. That was a strong possibility if he landed his tricks. But in dirt or park main events, he wouldnt medal, and he wasnt competing there because that was a known. If you disagree, i look forward to you making your points. I prefer to keep it civil, as im an adult, so i hope we can agree on that at least.
@@Honey_Daddy i get it thats i i said what i said..i dont agree with the people saying anything bad about how the event went in regards to r willy ..i thought he didnt do too bad given the circumstances
Such an insane comp…
BMX has come a long way since I had my Raleigh Burner and pretending I was a BMX Bandit.
1260 wins because it’s a nod to classic BMX. Going the highest, doing the most flips, the most spins, always takes the most balls. There’s a reason for so long the greatest trick was Mirras double flip and not some 360 tail whip bar combo thing.
Ive always loved the classic attacks to tricks, but there is a place for more progressive stuff like double decades and other sick stuff. There are only so many flips and spins physically possible, and while we may not have reached the flip/spin combo ceiling, i doubt anyone will do a 1440 anywhere off a big air ramp, or a size equivalent. Theres not much further to go in the spin only direction, so the sport will have to move past that being judged highest eventually. Getting super tech and still going huge is the future, and i believe it needs to be embraced if the comps want to keep relevant. The fans want to see stuff like what sandoval is throwing down. Myself included. But i fondly remember every sport racing to who could spin the most, flip the most, etc. Bmx, skateboarding, skiing, snowboarding, even gymnastics and figure skating and diving have had similar pursuits. But for bmx, that time has passed except for rare occasions, usually big air related ones.
@@Honey_Daddy true but the same mentality is happening with some of these more technical tricks. People are now racing to cram in the most barspins or whips, perfect example is Kieran Reilly doing a five bar spin truck driver.
I do really like the Sandoval trick the most though. It’s highly technical yet unique and it looks good. First we had the era of tricks nonstop, then came the era of style where we abandoned trick difficulty and for many people took style way too far (cool turndown bro, do it again). Now we enter an age of high trick difficulty with style.
@@adamboyle3331 you arent wrong. Thats absolutely a fact. I am of the thought that the endless repetition type tricks all have an expiration date, and will be outdone with innovation or expansion on how these tricks are implemented in combo. For example, windshield wipers vs double whips. Theyre both two tailwhips, but one is far more difficult. One is simply a newer implementation of the same trick, but it adds a newer dimension that can be built upon. Now, whip, bar, spin/flip combos are very hard after a point and there will be decades of progress with them pushing the limits. Things like a late barspin after a big combo can make things insanely difficult too, so while one extra barspin, or an extra whip thrown in at the end doesnt read as super technical to the layman, it is still a technical addition that i believe differs from just spinning as many times as possible. There is only a certain amount of individuality that can be established within disciplines unless new tricks are established, but much like how the cash roll pushed many riders forward, especially when maddog threw them in comp, the variety of these combos is could never be as simple as spinning as many times as possible, and the skill necessary to weave some combos is next level. None of these are arguments against your point, more so just my opinions and views on how while the mindset is the same for some (5 tailwhips instead of 4, etc.. up to 360 double whip to late bar instead of 360 double whip), the level of technicality does actually rise immensely after a point and new tricks, as few as are seen in comps regularly, give exponentially more potential, and can push the sport forward in a more general sense. Doing a 1440 would push the sport in that one world record sense, but few would ever go for it. The combos that people use today (everyone does slightly differently but) many pros are able to develop the skills, expand in their own ways, and it keeps the sport fresher, in my opinion. Theres no right or wrong best trick. I just have more faith that the modern combos being used have a wider impact on the sport and open more windows to future progress. Again, you arent wrong, im not disputing it, im just making sense of why this is the direction that is most viable long term. And sandoval, ryan williams, some others are really pushing what is realistic in a progressive, sick way. Im 98% sure i remember mark webb doing a double decade 10ish years ago, but to add spins after the decade and then some...its awe inspiring. I guess what this boils down to, i love bmx. In all forms, its amazing. I think the future will always be more tech than just as many spins, whips, bars, flips, etc... One can do in a one bang, but those records have a place. I just dont see a septuple tailwhip being the future when some maniac might do a decade to truckdriver to late tailwhip in that same amount of airtime. Either way, i love this sport and enjoyed the thought your reply brought up.
720 double back flip. Wanna talk combo's!!!!.
We all know which one Dave would've choose. The fact it's in someone's back yard with invite only list. Fise is much more fair.
R.I.P XGames.
@@brendonbrazier9347 i didnt see ryan land it once. Did i miss something?
The X-Games will never be a credible contest until Jay Dalton attends.
this
True but I feel like Jay would have a hard time placing because he's not a throw a massive quad talwhip or 1080 barspin etc kinda guy. He has the best flow and will probably go higher than everyone else and land the cleanest throwing difficult tech tricks but the judges just don't seem to reward that kind of riding anymore.
Why the frak doesn't he have a bike sponsor? Brant fraking Moore has more sponsors than Jay Dalton. Thats not a sleight on Brant. He deserves his sponsors. But Jay does bike shows to stay afloat. I seriously don't get it. Also, Spencer Foresman has more talent than Strangers whole team and crickets from core BMX for him as well.
@@AnthonyTufo some valid points you have made. Now read my comment again.
@@au08aaf yeah man, I agree with this sentiment. the "core" folks in BMX these days are cool and all but there seems to be a clique kind of attitude that has absolutely no place in this sport.
Ryan won. Landing and ride away was slick.
Nobody gives ryan enough attention he is one of the best riders there
You had me @4:35
You win TH-cam for that subtitle, fuckin boss mode says appreciate the quality
Kudos
Imagine doing that and it's just not on Camera, sums up this whole X Games
@@michiadams yeah bro that sucks but everyone's best performance is never captured, but it still happened...just sucks not being able to relive it
Sandoval is one tough dude. Wrecks just don’t phase him
Rwilly got the win in my eyes
1:23 Ryan Williams and Daniel Sandoval dancing HAHAHAHAJHAHAAS
🤣
they were mimicking the motion of the tricks they were tryna do, lots of bmxers do this including myself
Ryan should’ve won that!
Man has bmx gotten so much farther than when I rode. I want to get back in, but not this much lol.
Dang Ryan Williams had the cooler and more dangerous/technical trick here. Wish he walked away with the gold.
So much dope shit pulled and attempted. 👊👏
There is some serious HEAT going down here,. despite the fact it is in Riverside. :)
BMX for life!
Watched this 1260 about 40 time
1260!!!
Sandoval is nuts!
Daniel fucking Sandoval… dudes really forget he’s the best
he's next level for sure!
Well.. I watched street, which is the most boring shit in the world nowadays. Then I watched this and it totally made up for it. Kids are fucking awesome nowadays! So stoked to see this stuff!
Mirra would have been proud.
Daniel Sandoval is freaking beast. Should've took the gold. Hands down.
Fudger gettin them killer angles at 3:18
hahahaha
@?
Вау Уровень
What do you guys think is harder, Aussie roll or 1260?
That Aussie roll was landed perfect. It was much higher and landed with plenty of transition. I believe Dave would've choose the roll.
I think it's a close one, but 1260 is probably the harder trick to land, because you gotta spin so fast and somehow come back straight.
Don't get me wrong the 12 is still incredible.
He fell nearly 17ish feet to flat. While spinning. Definitely a cool trick.
Just not on the same level.
Dudes pulling their bikes like fidget spinners 😮
Looks fun😎
Rwillys was more progressive and fun to watch.
He wasnt that consistent tho and a 1260 is pretty progressive..im sure Ryan Williams would agree
Thats 900 remember me matthoffman first 900 rotation on bike
1260
*Mike Dominguez
Matts was the first in a comp/on video
I'd be afraid of slamming the fences
That's what I was thinking, can't believe they didn't put plywood or something over them.
Moral of the story: tire sponsors, breh.
These dudes are riding pizza cutter tires for the most part
Muito bom
Why no simon godziek
Btw if anyones wondering why ryan looked at his wheel then layed on the floor i think he buckled his wheel
save some time and go watch vans pro cup haha
Show
Now I’m definitely biased towards Varga as I was lucky enough to ride in his company a few times a joyride, but he deserved the win for that never been done before 1260!!! Not sure what R Willy’s trick was... it looked cool but 3&1/2 rotations on a what? 7’...8’ quarter?!?! The G’s your pulling to get that rotation is nuts! Not to mention it looks like he landed 2nd/3rd try where Ryan tried how many times?... maybe if he stuck it in the first few attempts you get that wow factor at max and perhaps it’s a different story. It’s too bad there can only be one winner... cuz everyone has their own unique style or twist on the tricks they do and frankly all deserve to be admired/recognized individually. 🤷♂️
Ultimately I’m just glad no one got hurt...👍
rat boy did all this on the wedge.
Not one of 15 people I've shown thinks the 12 won.
Unbais people who don't know any of the names. Some skate some moto. They agree the Roll was massively more impressive.
Peraza, Buckworth, and Sandoval all say the 1260 at the end of the video.
Yeah I get that. It's a judged sport there's always going to be a close decision people don't agree with. I just don't agree with this one. The roll was "super" clean.
The 12 was amazing. Hands down incredible trick. He fell all the way to flat. It was more like a 16 foot drop 1260. No disrespect at all.
for what its worth I had the 1260 all day. The speed he spun was incredible!
@@bhew7409 i have to agree, RW's trick was insanely impressive, but that 1260 is just bonkers.
The M games has me remarkably suspicious. The only person I saw win anything without one of those on their head was Garrett and that would have been just too obvious given the competition. I think we have got some WWE shenanagins going on here.
realtalk
Renate Williams celebrates himself the most. the rest doesn't care....
Why did they remove BMX Big Air this year and why did they not have purpose built parks for the X-Games this year? Is it because they think nobody will watch due to the Olympics and COVID issues?
X Games is owned by Disney and they’re playing it pretty safe. I was required to wear a mask the entire time even after showing my vaccination card. Hopefully they can get back to normal next year. Heard it may be back in Los Angeles?
@@OurBMX I hope. The commentators having to wear masks was ridiculous. I know Disney owns ESPN and thus the X-Games. They've really ruined X over the years.
I mean, let's be real. X Games has always been loved and hated. It has its role...just don't expect it to not be a TV show.
rumor has it.. that x-games is for sale,. or was tried to be sold.. but there's more to it than that I believe. #DYOR
@@OurBMX X Games was what introduced me to BMX as a kid. In the 90's without the internet/social media, seeing X Games on the tv. Watching Hoffman and Miron, then seeing Dave Mirra, Nyquist, Lavin etc all killing it in the following years. 25 years later and I still love BMX, I just don't ride anymore unfortunately. I think it's a good way to highlight the sport to an audience who lay be otherwise unaware, however it has become more commercial over the years, but it is a business and that is too be expected.

Hahaha rwilly won that... bmx sucks now... if you don't know anyone or are too good you won't win... typical... Rwilly is the best dude on a bike hands down and they showed him... he did it without anyone running in to hug or hype man him up!!! Sad to see our sport fall apart like this but that's 2021 for ya. I love the hate
a sketchy af 1260 beats a clean af three double :/
3 double has been done before ..1260 has never been done anywhere
@@N-B-MMA i'm sorry but nbd or not landing sketchy like that and almost to the flat is not a gold medal performance
RW fans out in force in these comments. This is what confirmation bias looks like.
You keep deleting my comments haha
I rarely delete comments. TH-cam may be marking them as spam if you’re putting links in it.
i wish he would have pulled that 1280 in montpellier instead of that dead contest people's would have legit lost theirs minds
0:06, 3:17 is when Mike Varga was the clear winner. Fuck the 1260, Varga had the Best Trick all along😜
first
First outta ya mom, but not the last.
@@cheesegod2362 🍔
The aussie roll should have won!!! Noone cares about 8 180s🗑🚮 the double backflip 720 should have won hands down!!!!!😱🤯
Dude there's noone there yo... its not really XGames is it ? come on... WTF invite Matt at least ... after 25 fuckin years...
I saw his post about managing the xgames bmx freestyle events for 25 years and they never even called him this time around. Fucking stupid. He is a BMX god and they didn't even call him to let him know it was happening.
@@fallenhobbit6554 I think they all felt it yo ... maybe why the vibe was strange eh...
It was a private event. Nothing to do with the Hoffman business.
