super clean, and the judges awarded Baldock 86.00 for his efforts. This score catapulted him into silver place, which he held onto for the entire event.
Hot on his heels was fellow Monster Energy athlete, Colton Walker who snapped up the bronze medal with his second run. Walker’s run consisted of a flip bar whip on the first hit, a 360 on the second jump, and ended with a triple whip on the last jump. Judges scored him an 83.00 for his efforts.
“We were all just happy to put a run down at all,” said Walker following the event. “I think it was really good show and everyone killed it. Shout out to the crew and everyone here at X Games and here in Australia. Throughout all the weather and adversity that they had to deal with for us to make it through is insane,” he continued.
