There has always been a strained relationship with “sports” associated with the X-Games. None more so than with BMX. From what seems to be a constantly changing mix of events to the TV ratings driven push towards things like Mega Ramp. The balance of positives between a wider exposure giving an increase to the amount of people who might get into BMX versus the mis-representation of what BMX is really about in order to help the NAVY recruit more from middle America.
During the circus this year NikeBMX premiered in place of an actual event, a trip consisting of Garrett Reynolds, Dennis Enarson, Chad Kerley, Alex Kennedy and Simone Barraco as hit the streets of Spain. Not only is the riding incredible but it’s probably the closest thing the ESPN/X-Games audience has ever seen that depicts street riding in BMX. And if you don’t care either way, then the riding is this will get you beyond stoked anyway.
