Downhill BMX: X GAMES THROWBACK | World of X Games

[@SavageAudits]

More of this please. Let’s see Olympians on a track like this!

[@cooperbadger11]

Like so many of these old events, y'all gotta bring it back!

[@felipelima2400]

Undoubtedly one of the best attractions of the X games, what a pity that there is no more, these days it would be epic !!

[@jmead915racing7]

Bring it back let's see who the real racers are .

[@mattytroy4559]

MORE!! Please do more. MORE!!!!!!!

[@christill]

I don’t remember ever seeing this event at the time. Like Snowboard Cross on BMX. Actually not a bad concept.

[@infinidominion]

I somehow caught the half hour they gave it on abc one day. As a 90's bmx'er, I was hoping there would be more of this

[@Andrew.Drennan]

Look up four cross. Same idea but on dirt jumpers

[@christill]

Andrew Drennan Yeah I used to watch it, and dual slalom when that was a thing. When I was 12 or something. But yeah this is not that. The track in this looks smoother than MTB almost like a regular BMX track.

[@thundercowboy254]

It didn't leave bmx racing is an Olympic sport now.

[@christill]

THunder Cowboy This is Downhill BMX though, not regular BMX Racing.

[@marrsbarrs]

Hey! Brian Foster! legend 🤘

[@BermsideProductions]

Much needed blast from the past! It's crazy seeing where the sport is now 20 years later.

[@BryceBetts]

Great throwback! Would love if BMX supercross got added back into X games.

[@rex6661]

That course looks SKETCHY. Super dusty, bumpy turns and they are landing so flat on a lot of them. I’d still kill to have this brought back

[@SavageAudits]

Miranda winning Gold with a huge air to flat! Crazy.

[@Vexorgthedestroyer]

If we could just take the graded track from this concept, so that tracks could be longer without the loss of speed, we'd have a much more spectator orientated race for sure.

[@Jake_IBS]

Sooooo rad, I remember these days

[@BrotherTedAllDay]

Buddy hit hard!

[@inuoye9250]

Downhill domination in reallife

[@bensimmonds1026]

New school version of this would be epic 👌

[@chrishartley6411]

Dam! I remember watching this when it first aired ! I was a young little rider lol

[@chrishartley6411]

What year was this ?

[@jalenwest3453]

I remember the Robbie Miranda race from the year before because it was on the XGames DVD!!!! It was such a insane race! I miss that dvd!!!

[@bmandango]

Why did this go away? It's hard to believe there wasn't enough interest to sustain it. Those sponsorships are pretty heavy too; there's Taco Bell, Adidas, and Comcast to name a few.

[@monkeyskatan]

I think downhill mountain bike became more popular.

[@06racing]

Not every venue has a large hill to ride down. And Xgames didn't keep the "race" categories of many events.

[@nikolasnsasi3249]

It's pointless to do this on undersize bikes. I even rode bmx MTb is way more logical

[@Bonky-wonky]

@@monkeyskatan actually 4x (basically the mtb version of this format) was scrapped by the uci not long afterwards.. must say dh bmx looks way cooler so quite a shame it didn’t catch on.

[@StreetLugeNetwork]

@@Bonky-wonky it's in the Olympics so that's not so bad

[@jdm91hatch]

Brian Foster making an appearance

[@codypease9582]

Bring this back i want to try it

[@daikihatakeyama8432]

Downhill BMX should come back to XGames. BMX racing needs this vibe since it’s now on the Olympics.

[@sethsmothers4952]

BRING THIS BACK!!!!

[@brannonmcclure6970]

This track!!! 🤙

[@ASHIQSOLAIMAN]

I love this Race🖤

[@arendmelby5106]

I think this was a 1 year event, 2 max. I tried to tape everything on VHS at the time as a 12 year old. Didn't get any of this but did get the Bob Burnquist run of forever. I just remember thinking this was a fun event

[@thundercowboy254]

This was just the beginning. This is now an Olympic sport because of the hugh popularity around this time. Makes me want to dust off the old race bike and go hit a track.

[@darikfrye91]

Do it!! 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

[@thundercowboy254]

@darikfrye91 definitely did it. Been racing again for almost 2 years now and couldn't be having more fun.

[@vaugr1917]

No slammed seat posts here😂

[@luxr3148]

Probably are slammed just 2 foot long posts lol

[@louisk2539]

i think the whole bmx community wants this to be brought back, id race it!

[@nolanfinke3729]

Oh my god he in xgames mode

[@georgeroy5914]

Nostalgia

[@vaugr1917]

Lol, Greg romero was to focused on that second pedal😂😂 he produced "crappy power"

[@kanekochera57]

The et downhill scene

[@welberdesignershop5014]

legal ... já brinquei com bike sundown em 2001 em ribeirão pires sp ...

[@darrenporsch]

I went there for camp in 89. the track was still big, huge, fast and in downhill but set up differently than this

[@2rikenriquez1]

💜💜💜💜💜

[@teodorusdikypermadi]

BMX Downhill gonna be psyched ! Ok maybe R Willy gonna try

[@Bwilson-31]

Hate the double vision view...

[@demonhays8460]

This is 4cross on bmx bikes, still cool though

[@DaniyalKevan-rs1qe]

2024 sdh tidak ada,coba di adakan lagi,pasti seru.

[@insanebmxthomas]

THEY HAD GOPRO'S AND DRONES BACK THEN? does not compute

[@zip7806]

They look like there on Toddler Bikes.

[@XGames]

20-inch bikes to be exact. Toddlers usually start out on 12-inch bikes!

[@lowery02]

This track pales in comparison to some of the tracks out there today. Crazy

[@monicagaldino7185]

Tenho 1 pé de vela bmx x gamers, foram feitas poucas peças para o campeonato que teve aqui no Brasil, faz uns 12 13 anos já, nunca foi usado quem tiver interesse estou vendendo

[@danielworthington2949]

But what if you didn't

[@grandchawhee5445]

the bikes look way to small for them. don't know anything about bmx racing. was that like regulation size you had to ride?

[@vaugr1917]

Just before the long and low area of bmx race frames

[@spainobmxer69]

They have to be of a regulation size when it comes to wheel size, they have to be 20 inches and only one gear, a taller person would ride a longer bike for example the “top tube” on the frame would be 21 inches if you were about 5’8” and 22 inches if you were 6 foot plus for example

[@gk-tube]

Literally the 1% people who reading. May your family 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦Live more than 100 year with good health..💯...

[@CodyCobraSB]

Thanks, Shalom to you too

[@0harris0]

forgot about downhill bmx! blast from the past... this with DH bikes please!!

[@7hhuman995]

4x racing. 😎👍

[@robociock]

This track looks more for mtb than bmx
