The 2019 X Games kicked off in Minneapolis last night, and it’s bound to be a couple of days of wild riding going down. When it comes to this contest, it’s not always easy for the average rider to make the trip to check out, and it’s definitely hard to imagine just what it’s like when you’re watching it on TV. Here’s a video that gives you a first person perspective of what it’s like riding the course whether it’s dropping in on the Mega Ramp or catching some laps in the bowl and on the dirt jumps during practice. Obviously the real thing is a whole different thing, and it’s pretty wild to see everything go down in person, but this is still pretty awesome. Take a look!

“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.” – Our BMX

The X Games are going off in Minneapolis this week and things are already starting to heat up. Here’s a look at what went down during the first BMX street practice where some of the guys were able to get a feel for the setup. It’s safe to say if this kind of riding is going down now, it’s going to be a wild contest. Take a look!

“The dudes get a ton of practice, so today was pretty mellow in the sense that not everyone was riding (Garrett showed up at the end, Chad is nursing his ankle, and Bruno gets here tonight) and no one was really stressing much of anything. Check the highlights and shouts to Andrew Knight (http://instagram.com/elevatedperspective) for throwing in a few clips for the edit, too.” – Our BMX
