Monster Energy congratulates its team of BMX and skateboard athletes on claiming medals in key events on the first day of X Games 2022 in Southern California. On Wednesday, vertical BMX and Skate disciplines were contested at the private “Sloanyard” facility in Vista, California, in a closed-to-the-public setting. The first-ever BMX MegaPark event saw 28-year-old Pat Casey from Riverside, California, claim silver as his fifth X Games medal.
The 65th edition of X Games is closed to the public with no spectators in attendance and broadcast live to global audiences. Medal events are contested at three unique athlete training facilities around Southern California: Monster Energy’s Sloan hosted Skateboard Vert competitions and the first MegaPark ramp at X Games for Skateboard and BMX competitions in his “Sloanyard” on Wednesday. On July 21, Axell Hodges opens his legendary “Slayground” compound for Moto X competitions, plus BMX Dirt. From July 22-24, the California Training Facility (CATF) will feature Skateboard and BMX competitions in Street and Park.
Here’s how the action unfolded on Day 1 of X Games 2022 for team Monster Energy:

Keeping it up! The progression on this titanium bike is unreal! I could never have imagined making those combos. Enjoy the video and have fun riding your bike whatever your discipline is!
