This is some what surprising news, but based on the economics and logistics of making the global X-Games work, it’s not shocking. You can read all about why they have made the decision to scale back Right Here. Maybe they should have brought dirt back sooner and this wouldn’t have happened…

Red Bull Phenom Highlights

“Wow. I’ll be honest when I say that I thought the course was a little, umm, small this year, but damn, it produced some incredible riding. The level of riding has reached such a level where the consistency is absolutely unimaginable. Before I do my little “but anyway, check out six minutes of highlights” I should mention that this is the first X Games that Garrett lost. But, if you’re whack if you really care. He rode outright amazing and so did Chad—and in the end it came down to just one point. So it ain’t a pissing match, ya’ll…but anyway, check out six minutes of highlights…” – Ride BMX
