Making its debut at X Games 14, BMX Freestyle Street will feature 12 world-class athletes, and the competition will follow the same course as X Games mainstay Skateboard Street. Showcased on the roof of the LA Live parking structure, the concept contains simple, raw street features such as stairs, concrete rails and ledges, and air features such as loading docks and/or street style gaps. The BMX Freestyle Street Final will stream live on EXPN.com, with the third session of the finals airing live on ESPN’s X Center Thursday, July 31 at 8 p.m. ET.
Returning to Puerto Escondido, , X Games Surfing will take the stage July 7-11 at the famous Mexican Pipeline at Zicatela Beach. The GameTM format will be used as in past years, as the men and women competitions battle for gold in the USA vs. the World.
