riders hit three consecutive jumps ranging in size between 17 and 25 feet before finishing their run on a quarterpipe. Today it was Colton Walker, an X Games rookie who grew up just outside of Minneapolis that took the win. In a run highlighted by a 360 double downside whip-to-late bar spin and a flair whip-to-bar spin on the quarter pipe, the 20-year-old scored a 93.00 to snag his first ever gold medal. Australian Logan Martin earned his second silver of the games with a 91.33 due in part to an impressive quad tail whip on the quarterpipe. Fellow Australian Kyle Baldock rounded out the podium with a score of 88.66.

Having already won a bronze just a couple hours before, BMX superstar Kyle Baldock defended his gold from last year at the Dave Mirra’s BMX Park Best Trick final. Doing a trick that no one else is attempting at the moment, the Australian broke out the same move that won it last year, a 720 double tail whip for the win. Logan Martin grabbed his second silver of the day, missing the top spot by a singe point. Pat Casey added a third X Games medal to his trophy case with a bronze.

In total, 110,000 fans attended the inaugural X Games Minneapolis, and judging by the remarkable Minnesota hospitality and joyful enthusiasm, the move to the Midwest marks a new era in the storied history of X Games, one that continues next year — July 19-22.
