On the final day of X Games Austin 2016 Monster Energy athletes smoked the competition sweeping the medals on the BMX Dirt track. All said and done Kevin Peraza took his first X Games medal with the gold, Ben Wallace snagged his second silver in the discipline and James Foster rode away with the bronze. After a full week of crazy thunderstorms, flash floods and the threat of lightening, the sun came out in full force for the Intel BMX Dirt event at the Circuit of the Americas COTA venue in Austin, Texas.

And perhaps he was, considering he was one of the last guys to session with former Monster Energy Ambassador and BMX legend Dave Mirra who tragically passed in February. Undoubtedly, one of the most powerful moments of X Games Austin unfolded today as the Dave Mirra Best Trick Contest went
