X Games 2017 – BMX Street and Park Practice – Raw

July 20, 2017

Take a look at some raw clips that were filmed last week at X Games during BMX street and park practice…

Last week was the X Games in Minneapolis, Minnesota and some of the best BMX riders in the world were there to throw down on the street course, bowl, mega ramp, vert ramp and dirt jumps. Unfortunately unless you have special clearance, all you can film is practice. Here’s a mix of raw clips from a little street and skatepark practice. Check out riding from Garrett Reynolds, Chad Kerley, Ty Morrow, Devon Smillie, Broc Raiford, Sean Ricany, Dakota Roche, Simone Barraco, Dan Lacey, Colin Varanyak, Nathan Williams, Dennis Enarson, Gary Young, Larry Edgar, Logan Martin, Kyle Baldock, Kevin Peraza, Daniel Dhers and Pat Casey.

This was all filmed during one or two practices, so there’s definitely some riders we missed out on and there’s definitely some shaky clips. Also, the mic was acting up for some of the street action. Sorry about that!
