Ending X Games Japan with a bang! Monster Energy congratulates its team of action sports athletes on history-making performances on day two of X Games Osaka 2025. On the final day of competitions inside Kyocera Dome stadium, Monster Energy riders claimed a total of five medals (two gold, two silver, and one bronze) across five contest events in the 73rd edition of X Games. The competitive BMX Flatland final concluded with 36-year-old Monster Energy team rider Moto Sasaki from Chiba, Japan, claiming silver. The BMX Street final saw 29-year-old Jordan Godwin from Cardiff, Wales, claim the bronze medal in an elite field.

Here’s how the BMX action unfolded for team Monster Energy on the final day of X Games Osaka 2025:

BMX Flatland: Japanese Icon Moto Sasaki Claims Silver with Stylish Performance

When the action moved into the BMX Flatland final, the crowd in Osaka was in for a special treat. Moto Sasaki is an icon of the scene and a previous bronze medal winner from X Games Chiba 2022. And he had a special showcase for the crowd in Osaka!

Putting together fluid lines stacked with difficult balancing tricks, Sasaki advanced through the Battle and Semi Final stages into the final showdown of the top three riders. When his performance counted for the medal, Sasaki stoked the crowd with technical combinations of wheelies, bar spins, and rotations without losing his flow.

The crowd erupted as Sasaki locked in the final combo, balancing and spinning on the bike’s front wheel, to earn his first silver in the discipline. As Sasaki revealed later, he was dealing with a harsh injury in preparation for X Games Osaka.

“I had an elbow injury and stopped riding for six months, all the way until today. I have to get surgery next week. I did not expect to be riding here today, it’s a miracle!” said Monster Energy’s Sasaki upon claiming silver in Osaka.

Sasaki now owns two X Games medals (one silver, and one bronze).

BMX Street: Jordan Godwin from Wales Clinches Bronze in Elite Field

The level of trick difficulty escalated in the BMX Street final. In a heated competition that saw several legends of the sport finish outside of podium contention, Jordan Godwin stoked the crowd with technical lines covering the entire park to claim the bronze medal.

In his highest-scoring run, Godwin attacked the course with Gap to double peg grind, nollie to feeble grind, toothpick hanger, over crank on grind, turn down 270 Smith, toboggan, 180 crooked grind, toothpick to pedal to 180, overpedal on the bank, peg grind to hardway 360 right at the buzzer for 87.66 points and the bronze medal.

“I’m still buzzing and very surprised. The level of riding was through the roof. I did not expect it! It worked out, I guess, and all the practice paid off,” said Monster Energy’s Godwin upon claiming bronze in Osaka.

Godwin now owns two X Games medals (one silver and one bronze).

And that’s a wrap!
