X-Games in Minneapolis, it still seems crazy to even be uttering these epic words in the same sentence. The greatest action sports event on the planet, and your own hometown. However, it comes as no surprise that after two successful years here in Minneapolis, X-Games has decided to extend their time here for an additional two years thru 2020. Now, this article isn't intended to tell you what all went down during the games, but rather to bring you a much better idea and vision of what X-Games actually means on a local level to us Minnesotans.
Arriving into Town... Extremely Convenient.
X-Games in Minneapolis, really is the epitome of the perfect fit. Athletes, course builders, staff members, volunteers, fans, and those travelling to our great state of Minnesota, are able to fly to the middle of the country directly into Minneapolis/Saint Paul International Airport. Follow that with a simple 20 minute ride directly to U.S. Bank Stadium and the surrounding hotels, and restaurants, and nightlife that Downtown Minneapolis has to offer via our Light Rail.
Our Gorgeous Minnesota Weather... as well as 10,000 Lakes.
Summertime weather is absolutely gorgeous here in the "Land of 10,000 Lakes". When compared to X-Games' previous home in Austin, Texas, there really is no comparison. Our mild temps, beautiful evenings, and pristine waterways provide a backdrop for X-Games that has yet to be rivaled..

Expect the competition to heat up even more as riders battle for the top spot.
Here is a recap of what went down in the action-packed semifinals:
The weather wasn't on our side this weekend in Newquay for Canna BMX Baoardmasters 2018 Mini Ramp competition. There was lots of stop start action all weekend in between the rain and the wind. Luckily with the patience of the Skateboarders, the crowd, and the most importantly the riders we managed to get the contest done! Alfie Heming won the under 16s contest with some great flow and back to back tricks from the small part of the ramp to big airs on the 8 foot extension. Reef Way was a close second with a 540 and some 360 to fakies in between some good tech tricks.
Under 16 Results:
1st. Alfie Heming
