The world’s best FMX, BMX, Skate and Scooter athletes gathered in Salt Lake City Saturday to compete in the 2017 edition of the Nitro World Games. The winner’s list represented four continents. Co-creator Travis Pastrana said, “These incredibly skilled athletes put everything on the line today. They absolutely sent it, no-holds-barred, elevating the sport and setting a totally new standard.”
The BMX Best Tricks trophy presentation was not aired during the NBC live broadcast because the judges reviewed a trick for accuracy after the competition ended. Replays of Dawid Godziek’s fourth run showed that he did one less rotation than first thought. The resulting change in score put Ryan Williams on top, and made him a two-time BMX Best Tricks champion.
The official, final BMX results are as follows:
BMX Best Tricks: Presented by BE THE MATCH
#1 Ryan Williams (AUS) 18.70
#2 Brandon Loupos (AUS) 18.22
#3 Jaie Toohey (AUS) 16.58
BMX Triple Hit
#1 Colton Walker (USA) 9.50
#2 Nick Bruce (USA) 9.42
#3 Brian Fox (USA) 9.36
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
