A look back at the best of X Games Real BMX.
It has been a few years since the X Games held a new “Real BMX” contest, thanks to Covid, but they just released this new show looking back at all the best riding that went down over the years with Mike Escamilla, Dakota Roche and Calvin Kosovich. This is a super good watch because it’s easy to forget just how crazy these videos were. Take a look!
“Since 2016, the X Games Real BMX series has showcased the most innovative BMX street riding outside of the X Games competition venue, in a video competition that pits rider and filmer against the real-life elements of urban BMX street riding.
Each year, a hand-picked selection of the sport’s top BMX street riders submitted 90-second video parts, to be judged upon by their peers, in hope of taking home X Games gold. And in the process, the unpredictable and wildly progressive world of BMX street riding was given a platform for the world to witness. From technical handrail combinations to high speed roof drops, the riders of Real BMX demonstrated the many creative avenues taken within BMX street riding.
Now, with five years of successful competition and more than a few never-been-done moves to claim, X Games presents The Best of Real BMX: 2016-2021.
Hosted by Mike “Rooftop” Escamilla, featuring former Real BMX host, judge and competitor Dakota Roche, and internationally renowned BMX videographer Calvin Kosovich.
Featuring: Courage Adams, Alex Donnachie, Colin Varanyak, Kevin Peraza, Garrett Reynolds, Simone Barraco, Corey Martinez, Nathan Williams, Erik Elstran, Felix Prangenberg, Brad Simms, Jordan Hango, Colt Fake, Chad Kerley, Julian Molina, Lewis Mills, Van Homan, Dave Krone, Dan Coller, Greg Illingworth, Jake Seeley, Demarcus Paul, Sean Ricany, Dennis Enarson, Broc Raiford, Tom Dugan.” – X Games
