X Games – The Best of Chad Kerley

Leave a Comment

The X Games dug into their archives of footage and compiled 22 minutes of Chad Kerley‘s best runs from different X Games contests from Los Angeles to Austin, Minneapolis and Shanghai. This spans the course of 7 years, which is pretty wild to think about how fast time flies! This has a ton of great riding worth checking out, and it’s pretty cool to see how much Chad has progressed over the years. That and a look at all the different street courses over that time as well!

“It’s hard to believe, but BMX rider #ChadKerley has been competing at X Games since 2012. And in that time, Chad has amassed 6 medals in BMX Street, including one silver from #RealBMX in 2017. But the medal count isn’t what’s important here: Chad’s progression is what we wanted to look at. From 2012 to the present, Chad has steadily switched it up, from cassette to freecoaster, from hang 5 combos to unreal nose wheelies. And we’re been lucky to watch it all happen. Assembled here are highlights from Chad’s #XGames career, including gold medal wins and international previews from Shanghai 2019. Thanks for consistently bringing it Chad!” – X Games

This time around Brad Simms sits down to talk about everything from moving to Austin, Texas, what he’s been doing during the COVID shutdowns, to traveling all around the world, filming a ton of wild clips for Instagram and other projects lately and more. Brad is always a super interesting dude to listen to, so get on that play button to take it all in!

“Since the beginning of BMX Street at X Games, Brad Simms was on the invite list. But as Brad’s interests in traveling grew, Brad started putting competitions on the back burner and focused on video. Then quarantine hit and suddenly, Brad Simms was stuck in one place to film: Austin, Texas. Then he took to Instagram and made 2020 the year of Brad, This is Brad Simms.” – X Games

X Games Real BMX 2020 – Julian Molina Wins Fan Favorite

Leave a Comment

Julian Molina wins the X Games Real BMX 2020 Fan Favorite vote!

Here’s some news were super stoked on and definitely had a feeling we would see after the response the video got. Julian Molina took the Fan Favorite win for X Games Real BMX 2020 with 45.68% of the vote, which was a landslide since Simone Barraco came in 2nd with 17.01% of the vote and Garrett Reynolds with 13.35% of the vote. Check out Julian’s section from the full show where they announced the winners, before the Fan Favorite vote took place. This gives a good behind the scenes look at how much work Julian put into this! Hell yeah, Julian!

“Julian Molina is the first adaptive athlete to compete in the Real Series. At age 7, Julian lost his leg in a skateboarding accident. Then he picked up a BMX bike and started devising new techniques to ride street with just one leg and a crutch to maneuver. We normally don’t feature the behind the scenes segments of all the athletes in the Real Series (it’s in the full episode though) but we thought this cutdown was worth it because Julian is a straight up badass! Julian also just won the #RealBMX Fan Favorite: X Games Real BMX 2020” – X Games
