BMX Street: Jordan Godwin Claims Career-First Gold Medal with Technical Run
The Monster Energy team scored the first gold medal of the weekend in the BMX Street final. The leaderboard shifted wildly as the field of eight finalists attacked the course looking to string together a perfect 45-second run. When all was said and done, Jordan Godwin clinched the gold medal in front of the high-energy crowd.
Godwin dropped in as a podium favorite after taking home the bronze medal in BMX Street at X Games Osaka 2025 less than one week earlier. In Salt Lake City, Godwin earned his highest score on the second attempt, stringing together technical tricks otherwise only seen in video parts in a flawless line.
Tricks including Switch snaggle tooth, feeble 270, tobaggon, opposite tailwhip, hanger to overcrank to backwards crook to backover, switch footed switch over crank arm slide, switch feeble 360 backwards ice, pegs hard 360 the long rail earned Godwin 89.33 points for his career-first gold medal.
“I don’t know how it happened, but being on the podium these past two weeks is insane! It’s nice that the more technical riding and less flashy riding gets some love. I really appreciate it,” said Monster Energy's Godwin upon claiming the gold medal in Salt Lake City.
Godwin now owns three X Games medals (one gold, one silver, and one bronze).
