Nitro World Games 2017 – BMX Semi-Finals Highlights

June 24, 2017

The Nitro World Games are going down this weekend out in Utah and things are starting to heat up! Below you can check out three videos from the BMX Semi-Finals for the triple jump and best trick contests. As you can imagine, a ton of insane riding went down that you’re going to have to rewind and watch a few times to get some of the tricks. Check it out! We’ll have the LIVE STREAM for the Nitro World Games up on the site later today. Things kick off at 3PM Central Time!

“Triples is gnarly. No joke about it. Just before the Semi-Finals was set to happen, Logan Martin took a hard fall and got knocked out. Fortunately it seems like he’ll be okay, but no doubt that he was one of the dudes that was likely to win it. With Logan out, everyone was a bit weary in the beginning, but began firing as usual. Sorry about all the digital zoom…I thought I could hang filming most of it fish and I was both wrong and had some mental/technical issues. I’ll be keeping it simple tomorrow.

And yes the music is more cleared bullshit.

Results (qualify for the finals):
Alex Coleborn
Nick Bruce
Colton Satterfield
Brian Fox
Andy Buckworth
Brandon Loupos
Marcus Christopher” – Ride BMX

“Watch Kyle Baldock, Nick Bruce, Brian Fox, Colton Satterfield, Marcus Christopher, Andy Buckworth, and more battle it out for a chance to compete in the finals of BMX Triple Hit at the 2017 Nitro World Games!” – Vital BMX

“Semi finals is a bit of an underwhelming title for this event, as literally everyone has to do their hardest shit in this four run, two tricks count format to even get into finals tomorrow (which, hey, you know that the finals will be live on ridebmx.com?). So 15 dudes went absolutely ape shit and attempted to throw the hardest tricks they know and probably even some tricks that they’re just hoping to know how to do…

Oh, and I’m sorry that I missed a few tricks. The event wasn’t open to the public and there was no announcer, so people dropped unexpectedly at points.

Film/edit: Ryan Fudger” – Ride BMX

“Triple flips, 1080s, bikeflip combos, and a whole lot of tricks you probably can’t even name. Watch James Foster, Brandon Loupos, Jacob Bailey, Dawid Godziek, Colton Satterfield, and more throw down at Nitro World Games!” – Vital BMX

Rouding out the top three finishers, Kenneth Tencio also quickly got the judges attention with big combinations. The remaining qualifiers are Daniel Sandoval, Colton Satterfield, Dawid Godziek, Marcus Christopher and Andy Buckworth.
