consecutive gold medals than anyone in any discipline in X Games history. His Monster Energy teammate Vince Byron took the bronze, making for two Monster Energy riders on the BMX Vert podium. Vince Byron was one of the few riders to earn two medals at X Games Barcelona 2013. His first was a bronze in BMX Vert. Then on Sunday night he wrapped up the weekend with silver in BMX Big Air—he pulled a crazy 360 double downside tailwhip over the gap then a no handed 540 on the huge
27-foot quarter pipe. Adding to the successes for Monster Energy BMX was Scotty Cranmer and his bronze in BMX Park. His smooth and tech run resulted in his seventh X Games medal (including three gold).
Part of the new global concept for X Games, Barcelona was just the latest stop on the X Games world tour. Events in Aspen, Colo.; Tignes, France; and Foz do Iguacu, Brazil happened earlier in 2013. Next, X Games heads to Munich, Germany (June 27-30) before finishing off in Los Angeles, Calif. in August.
