Returning to Boise, Idaho for the second edition of the Road to X Games: Boise Qualifier, the world’s top skateboard, BMX and Harley-Davidson Hooligan athletes competed to secure their invitations to Minneapolis. In addition to the three events at Rhodes Skate Park, the qualifier expanded this year’s event to include Harley-Davidson Hooligan Racing at CenturyLink Arena. Over 12,000 fans witnessed six Men’s Skateboard and BMX athletes, four Women’s Skateboarders and 48 Harley-Davidson Hooligan racers punch their tickets to Minneapolis.

In the final competition of the day, Mykel Larrin (USA) showed that he’s not only a threat in Vert and

Big Air with an 88.33 in his second run that held off a field of the world’s top BMX Park stars. Larrin’s amplitude was enough to edge out X Games rookie Jose Torres (ARG) by less than a point for the top qualifying spot. Brandon Loupos (AUS) finished a close third, ahead of X Games Minneapolis 2017 gold medalist Nick Bruce (USA). Dennis Enarson (USA) and Colton Walker (USA) took the final spots to Minneapolis.
