Watch the FULL BROADCAST of the Pacifico BMX Vert event that went down LIVE at X Games Minneapolis 2019.
The legend keeps growing! Monster Energy congratulates Jamie Bestwick on his silver medal in BMX Vert at X Games Minneapolis 2019 on Thursday night. In front of a stoked crowd at the Armory venue in Downtown Minneapolis, the 48-year-old BMX icon from Nottingham, United Kingdom, faced the world’s best BMX riders to bring home the 20th X Games medal of his storied career. After struggling with constant rain interruptions during last year’s BMX Vert event, officials in Minneapolis decided to host the competition in an indoor setting this time around. The Armory music venue, where musical performances by the likes of Diplo and Wu-Tang Clan will unfold this weekend, provided the perfect backdrop for the competitive six-rider final session.
Each rider only had two 30-second runs to post a top score on the massive 14-foot vert ramp, so the pressure meter was in the red zone in Minneapolis on Thursday night. No stranger to heated showdowns, Bestwick came in as a veteran of the sport – actually the oldest athlete across all disciplines at X Games Minneapolis 2019 – and hungry for gold after settling for silver in Minneapolis over the past two years.
Fully healed from last year’s spinal fusion surgery, the most dominant BMX rider in X Games history came in guns blazing with a perfect run on his first attempt: Building speed across the entire length of the deck, Bestwick rolled into a high-flying no-hander, huge alley-oop grizzly air, tall lookback air, Superman down whip, turndown flair traveling across the whole ramp, massive alley-oop 540, extended
Paterico setup some front brakes last week and immediately came through with some crazy and clean moves.

X Games is a wild event. Always interesting to see it from the riders view, so I hooked a GoPro Hero 7 Black to a few willing dudes and let them give you a first hand look at what it's like to drop in on Big Air, Park, and Dirt. Thanks to Mykel Larrin, Logan Martin, Anthony Napolitan, and Brian Fox for being down.
Wenn man einen Sponsor an Land zieht, gehört es sich, als Dank für die Unterstützung einen Welcome-Edit zu filmen. Das weiß auch Til Urban, der neulich zwei Nachmittage lang losgezogen ist, um im Norden Münchens ein Video für den 360 Grad Sportshop zu filmen, von dem er seit einiger Zeit gesponsert wird. Til hat Spaß am Radfahren, ist ein großer Freund des Half Cabs (darf man die so noch nennen?) und sein 360 Pop ist ziemlich beachtlich, also schaut in seine Clipausbeute aus den Parks in Lohhof, Dachau und Markt Indersdorf doch einfach mal rein.
