With six motorcycle events at the 2017 Summer X Games (the most ever), we feel it is safe to say that the motorcycle crowd stole the show.  X Games Sure, we’re a little biased, but either way, we’re just excited to see so many different disciplines of motorcycle riding represented on the biggest stage in action sports.  Of the six X Games motorcycle events, which one is your favorite?

The X Games 2017 took place last weekend in Minneapolis, Minnesota. In amongst the typical action-sports events of skateboarding and BMX was several moto events. If you weren’t able to tune into them over the weekend, we’ve taken the liberty of compiling all of the gold-medal runs from the various motorcycle events in one place.

Australian Harry Bink claimed the Best Trick Gold medal at the Nitro World Games over the weekend with this incredible front flip rock solid.  For those who aren’t up to speed with freestyle jargon, that involves floating off the back of the motorcycle and then letting go, completely separating ones self from the machine, all while simultaneously rotating a front flip.

We love seeing the next generation of the sport and applaud parents who are raising their kids to enjoy riding motorcycles. This little guy’s parents are getting him started with stunts early and that’s pretty cool!

Rafal Pasierbek (a.k.a. Stunter13) has been stunt riding for a decade now, winning a Polish freestyle championship in his first try in 2005. Things can go wrong for even the most seasoned stunt riders, but Stunter13’s experience and agility helped him make this save after his bike got away from him.

Every other year dozens of countries attempt to set aside geopolitical, ethnic, religious, and cultural differences in order to gather in one host nation so that a select few citizens from each nation may participate in that spectacle of sport known as the Olympics.
