Guys i’m sure you already checked out tons of last X Games videos these days, but well, here we have a previously unreleased footage straight from LA. Check it out – Filmed and edited by Nick Pescetto.

“We went down to LA for the X GAMES. It was a blast. Our man Simone Barraco got 5th at the bmx street park, his first x games, so stoked. X was so fun, lots of partying, crazy people, hots chicks, some surfing, sun and stoke. Cp Gang x Frontocean”

…and don’t miss the full recap from X Games 2012 Los Angeles

Day 1 Day 2  Day 3 Day 4

Party On!

Here we are with the last day of Summer X Games in Los Angeles. One of the highlights was surely the Men’s Skateboard Street competition finals, where Paul Rodriguez dominated the scene followed by Ryan Sheckler and Nyjah Huston

Bmx big air finals were pretty exciting with Steve McCann flying like there was no tomorrow with his no-handed double front-flip. Seecond place went to Zack Warden and the bronze to Kevin Robinson.

The Rally Cross saw Sebastien Loeb on top of the podium followed by Ken Block and Brian Deegan

Last but not least, the Moto X Enduro men saw the victory of Mike Brown, Cody Webb and Cory Graffunder while among the women the winners are Maria Forsberg, Louise Forsley and Chantelle Bykerk.

First day of X Games 18 in Los Angeles went out confirming this huge event as a perfect ground for freestyle sport’s record breaks. No matter they’re riding a skateboard, a bmx or even driving a car, you can be sure you’ll see something never done before!

The main, Medal Event, for the 28 of July was the FMX Finals, seeing the hottest ever Taka Higashino takin’ gold with a score of 93.33 (I saw video of him training, I was doubtless he would have gone big in competition) and unleashing on the first run the first ever landed backflip rock solid double grab, not to mention this crazy air popped during the contest..kiss of death flip, superman no hander, heel-clicker flip, just to name a few of them. Here’s the full result of the contest:

RANK  & BEST SCORE 
1 Taka Higashino   93.33
2 Levi Sherwood    91.66
3 Javier Villegas  88.66
4 Nate Adams       88.66
5 Blake Williams   88.33
6 Adam Jones       88.00
7 Rob Adelberg     86.33
8 Dany Torres      84.33
9 Todd Potter      84.00
10 Andre Villa     78.00

On Skateboarding Big Air Qualification, best run was for Rony Gomes, but the show was made by 15yrs old Mitchie Brusco and his first 900 ever landed in X Games history. Obviuosly if you ever heard of Tom Schaar you won’t be surprised he landed consequently two 900 in the successive runs. Well, still not enough to beat the score of the young Alex Sorgente that got 7th place
However a shotout to the kids is needed, considering that four of the finalist are under 16, including the 11 years old Jagger Eaton (younger rider of X Games) that opened the comp with a crazy backflip over channel!
The 11 qualifiers will battle for a chance for the gold against actual medal holder Bob Burnquist in tonite finals, stay tuned cause there will be a crazy show!
