As many of you know, Dave has moved on from BMX and Rally Car racing to pursue Triathlons. This photogallery shows us a bit of a day of his life in New York and talks about that transition.

X-Games 2015 Course Preview Renderings

May 20, 2015

Today, the X-Games 2015 Course Preview Renderings were released online for us to get an idea of what’s to come here in about two weeks down in Austin, Texas. As expected, we have a flowy bowl setup for park that looks fairly similar to last years course, which were assuming they will be making out of cement again, a pretty straight forward dirt course with a slight right hip to it, the mega ramp and vert ramps. You can check the renderings after the jump.
We’re still pretty surprised BMX Street isn’t apart of the X-Games this year with how popular street is. Given, Garrett Reynolds wins ever year and based off his 2015 Red Bull Video it would likely happen again this year, it is still a very substantial part of this sport of ours.
Either way, we can’t change that… So, let’s just take a look at the other course renderings after the jump!
