On Saturday, Monster Energy riders claimed a total of 12 medals (three gold, four silver, and five bronze) across seven contest events at Utah State Fairpark and Event Center. In a historic moment, the team swept the entire BMX Dirt podium on Saturday with 31-year-old Ryan Williams from Sunshine Coast, Australia, taking gold, 22-year-old Brady Baker from Toms River, New Jersey, claiming silver, and 30-year-old Daniel Sandoval from Corona, California, taking bronze.

Here’s how the action unfolded for team Monster Energy on day two of X Games Salt Lake City 2025:

BMX Dirt: Full Podium Sweep for Team Monster Energy Headed by Ryan Williams in 1st Place

Initially scheduled for Friday, the BMX Dirt final was moved to Saturday evening due to strong winds. But it was worth the wait, as Team Monster Energy swept the entire podium in one of the most epic competitions ever seen at X Games.

When the eight finalists attacked the dirt course with its sequence of huge jumps interspersed by a technical step-up obstacle, two-time defending champion Baker secured the top spot on his first run. And the New Jersey native seemed locked in place, until the last runs rolled around.

With everything riding on his third and final attempt, Australia’s Williams landed a run for the ages to secure his career-first gold medal in BMX Dirt. Putting together Double frontflip, frontflip front bri flip, cashroll onto the step-up and frontflip no-hander down, double backflip secured ‘R Willy’ a score of 94.33 points for the win.

Asked about winning his 10th X Games gold medal, Williams replied, “I totally forgot about 10 medals. Thank God, I got that done. Let’s go X Games! Third time's the charm, let's go! First BMX Dirt Gold!”

Williams now owns 12 X Games medals (10 gold, and two silver).

Following closely in silver-medal position, Baker earned second place with a score of 93.66 points on Run 2. Hitting the course with cashroll tailwhip to tabletop, backflip triple tailwhip, 360 tailwhip, cashroll barspin, and 720 double barspin secured Baker his fourth X Games medal.

Baker now owns four X Games medals (two gold, two silver).

Rounding out the podium on Saturday, 30-year-old Sandoval secured his podium spot early in the final with a score of 85.33 points on Run 1. A perfect line including backflip double tailwhip, 360 barpsin to down whip, frontflip, 360 double downside whip, 720 barspin secured Sandoval the bronze medal.

Sandoval now owns ten X Games medals (three gold, one silver, and six bronze).
