Monster Energy congratulates its world-class team of athletes on an amazing weekend at X Games Barcelona 2013. The crew bagged a total of ten medals across skateboarding, BMX, and moto disciplines, and all the highlights from the weekend’s action can be seen now at monsterenergy.com. Leading the BMX charge was
Jamie Bestwick, who further solidified his legacy by taking a record eighth gold medal in BMX Vert. He began his dominant winning streak in 2007, winning every event since then. He’s won more
consecutive gold medals than anyone in any discipline in X Games history. His Monster Energy teammate
Vince Byron took the bronze, making for two Monster Energy riders on the BMX Vert podium.
Vince Byron was one of the few riders to earn two medals at X Games Barcelona 2013. His first was a bronze in BMX Vert. Then on Sunday night he wrapped up the weekend with silver in BMX Big Air—he pulled a crazy 360 double downside tailwhip over the gap then a no handed 540 on the huge
27-foot quarter pipe.
Adding to the successes for Monster Energy BMX was
Scotty Cranmer and his bronze in BMX Park. His smooth and tech run resulted in his seventh X Games medal (including three gold).
Part of the new global concept for X Games, Barcelona was just the latest stop on the X Games world tour. Events in Aspen, Colo.; Tignes, France; and Foz do Iguacu, Brazil happened earlier in 2013. Next, X Games heads to Munich, Germany (June 27-30) before finishing off in Los Angeles, Calif. in August.Pics by Monster Energy
