We did it, I won an X Games Gold Medal at the 2018 Sydney X Games in the BMX Big Air contest! Seriously cannot believe I managed to pull it off, thank you all so much. In this video, I go through the journey from start to completion of my life goal of getting an X Games medal. From being a 12 year old scooter kid down at the local skatepark to now competing on the biggest stage in Action Sports!
Monster Energy congratulates James Foster for his gold medal finish on the mega ramp at the inaugural X Games Minneapolis. This was Fosters first ever gold in BMX Big Air, an event in which he had placed third in two previous attempts. After a cancelled event last year in Austin due to severe weather, the BMX Big Air returned taking center stage on Friday night at the US Bank Stadium in downtown Minneapolis. Without having to deal with the weather elements, and rallied by the cheers of a rowdy crowd, riders were afforded ideal conditions to take this one-of-a kind event to new heights. Taking the highest single score out of four attempts, the guys were judged on amplitude, style and technical difficulty.
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
