Always a heavy event, Big Air pushes what's possible on a BMX bike and the dudes that are down to give it a run did not disappoint. Here's the highlights...
16 of the best battling for seven spots in the finals. Definitely some upsets in this (Alex Nikulin, Kevin Peraza), but if the level of riding is any sign of how heavy finals is gonna be with Colton Walker, Kyle Baldock, and Logan Martin in the mix...damn.
Street was fucking heavy. 12 of the best in the world get two runs and the best run counts. Here's what went down at street finals at X Games.
X GAMES 2018 - DAVE MIRRA BEST TRICK HIGHLIGHTS. It's cool that the Dave Mirra Best Trick is turning into its own event of sorts. Alex Hiam got an invite to come join the party and he most definitely did not disappoint. For those about to ask, Pat pulled his 540 whip on a "for the fans" 4th attempt and didn't count.

Technically this is two park practices, because the park dudes have several days of practice ahead of them so they're slow rolling into firing out tricks. But yeah, enjoy the first clips of the park course and all the killers who are riding X Games 2018. Sorry about the Fisheye clips on the second day. I grabbed the wrong camera and didn't realize that it had stabilization on. Amateur hour.

X GAMES 2018 - FIRST BMX DIRT PRACTICE. Just as before, that title is totally a lie. This is actually two days of practice because I was really, really tired and couldn't finish the video after day one. So enjoy it as each day these dudes get more and more comfortable on the jumps and start destroying it more...
