Patrick won the 2024 edition of Best Whip at X Games and has been furthering his overall free riding and freestyle skill set aboard the Stark VARGE. However, X Games' ban on electric bikes has put him in a weird position for the 2025 version of the event...

Hate, tolerate, indifferent, or love electric motocross bikes...you have to admit some of the stuff he's doing on this thing is mental.

I hope he shows up on a gas bike and still wins.

Love the video Patrick did on a Gibbs 125 a few years ago.

Excellent video. The fact that Evans did the editing, color and sound himself takes it over the top. Outstanding.

You would think they wouldnt want a name like Varge. Who wants to have their bike name rhyme with something like a barge? They are heavy, slow, and arent gonna turn like a Suzuki, which is cool thing for everyone to say, even if they are just hopping on that bandwagon.

I agree. And i think it would be a pretty cool marketing stunt by Stark if they put Evans on a gas bike made out to look like a Stark and they give the whole X Games organization a big middle finger by winning it.

Is there solid reasoning for X Games to ban e bikes?  Holy hell, it's a FREESTYLE competition.

Aren't the X Games and their athletes supposed to push boundaries? I mean, it's 100% what they are all about. Not allowing someone to compete because he rides and electric bike just proves how useless and dated the X Games have become.

Allegedly the father of one of their poster children who also hosts the moto content at his compound complained, allegedly.

It almost looks like he's in a bad endo, going away from us in the photo. 

Super good rider. It's ridiculous that the Varg is banned, as it is probably the perfect machine for freestyle.

Splitting hairs for what has become a niche event is the opposite of progression. Run what ya brung and get out there to impress what fans you have left!

The kid is insane and Reinventing the whip! His free riding and ramp skills are crazy but if you watch him on a Moto track it's a totally different rider it's really weird LOL

Yeah check out his results of the world 2-stroke Championship he got 18th I believe in the first 125 Pro Moto his body language is totally different than his free riding videos my son and I've been trying to figure out for the last few years it's a trip you think he would rip!
