SONIC Dave Mirra BMX Park Best Trick: FULL COMPETITION | X Games Ventura 2024

[@nnthsttrls]

All the love for KP, and landing that trick on that box backwards is INSANE, but 9-whip feels like the win there.

[@matthoover111]

Remove the whip from both tricks, and now you're comparing (1) a flair over a giant box landing fakie to (2) a 900. I think the 1st trick is far less common, probably because it's far more difficult.

[@outcast_performance]

Naaaahhhh... the Flair whip late whip

[@AlizioHerman]

@@matthoover111yea, but this isn’t about removing the tailwhip… a 900 whip is asking more from the human body and physics. It was the better trick.

[@bomberpooper]

Sorry to say this but the judges are drunk, how come a 900 tailwhip doesn't win the gold? How does a flair tailwhip to tailwhip come in third?

[@artseye00]

Right ?!?!

[@CR250rSMITH]

that flair tailwhip to tailwhip looked like a 540 tailwhip to tailwhip to me but i guess not

[@matthoover111]

@@bomberpooper remove one whip from the top 3 tricks. Now you're comparing a massive flip 180 to fakie, vs a 900, vs a flair whip. Personally I think the first one is the most impressive, or at least the least common. I'm sure KP can do the latter 2 (a 900 or a flair whip), but I'm not sure the other riders can do what he did (huge flip 180 to fakie).

[@bomberpooper]

@@CR250rSMITHwell, for me that flair whip fakie looked like a 540 whip. so, It's a very difficult situation to judge :/

[@LKnight32]

@@matthoover111 it’s not a flair to fakie it’s a whip. Never seen Kevin do a 900 but I’ve seen him do this numerous times so to me it’s kinda a moot point.

[@shadoninja]

The flair whip catch whip was actually insane and you could hear how crazy it was by Scotty's voice. I think the judges botched this comp.

[@2wheels1love21]

Scotty should judge and commentate 🙏

[@Ickle_33]

Justin Dowell was right when he was saying before the camera cut.. "How on earth does a flair whip fakie for the 10th year in a row"... camera then cut. I assume he was going to say "get first place". And I completely agree with him. I had Varga, Dowell, Sandoval or Varga, Sandoval, Dowell. Could have went either way. We've seen Peraza do this trick a million times. It's not rewarding progression which is what should be first and foremost in this best trick competition. Its a difficult trick, yes, but it's been done too much. Judges got it wrong

[@wildoafi3]

It wasn’t a flair fakie

[@Ickle_33]

@@wildoafi3 I'm quoting Dowell. Tell him, not me

[@wildoafi3]

@@Ickle_33 you’re defending him aren’t you? He stepped it up and did a nbd. It wasn’t a flair flakie newb

[@Ickle_33]

@wildoafi3 again, I'm agreeing with what he said. If you want to call a 41 year old who's been watching X Games since the first one at Rhode Island a newb, go ahead. You're obviously stuck on the name of the trick and want to argue that instead of the actual difficulty and all around genuineness of it. It's been done before many times by him. It's nothing special in terms of BMX in 2024, sorry if you're butthurt over my opinion. Feel free to call me other names now. I'm pretty sure you're going too

[@ryanhorizon]

@@wildoafi3not an NBD by any stretch. Kevin’s done flair whip to fakie a dozen times now

[@Magdalena8008s]

Ryan Williams rules. Double flip to fakie is madness. So close. Hyped to see what he does in dirt best trick.

[@ThatAustralianDude]

Justin is saying what we're all thinking. 1st Sandoval 2nd Varga 3rd Dowell

[@norussian556]

peraza is the golden boy the xgames wants as its image tho, so they reward repetitiveness.

[@maibemiles3904]

900 whip that destroys your back tire to pull off doesn’t get first? And over a trick guy does “for the last ten years” to quote one of the riders… and it was a cork 540 whip not a flare.. 🤷‍♂️

Sandoval was robbed. Dude is pushing the limit with this bike stuff. The dude is gnarly. These judges are blind

[@chrisherrada666]

Daniel Sandoval got ROBBED WHAT ARE THEY THINKING KP did the same trick in competition and somehow got reward. Xgames do better. The technicality of Sandoval trick is way higher than Peraza

[@kyleheaser351boombaby]

flair whip catch whip is less difficult than a flair whip to fakie... arguably. All day every day I'd be more afraid of the flair whip fakie vs flair whip catch whip. KP's trick was more dangerous

[@modus18]

Love watching Sandoval man. His creativity is the pinnacle imo.

[@kevinfromdevon]

Pretty sure a 900 whip trumps a 540 whip to fakie. But I'm not a judge

[@Magdalena8008s]

I disagree. Both are insane tricks. But to fakie is definitely a notch ahead in my opinion.

[@mikedevlin_bmx2446]

The 540 whip to fakie is was harder.

[@Nick-hz2kl]

The 9whip was way better . Kevin is overrated

[@raycen34]

The fact they called it a flair whip blew my mind that was no flair

[@LKnight32]

Kevin does this trick at every event every year, 540 flair whip is new and should’ve won this. X Games judging has lost all credibility 🤦🏻‍♂️

Don't get me wrong i love kevin but clearly x games does too, Sandoval won it for me then varga

1st Varga 2nd Sandoval 3rd Hilder I love Peraza but this is my best guess.

540 flair whip of Varga was the real best trick win. Peraza ever wins with the SAME TRICKS. Where a flair whip to fakie would win that monstruous trick of Varga? Peraza is much hype for little thing.

[@tilled6695]

need better judges, sorry but its not even close that 900 whip is way harder, way more technical, way harsher punishment for failure. and i love peraza but that was just trash judging

[@Weather_Nerd]

Like to see you even 180 fakie such a jump 😂 Talk about difficulty. Though I do agree 900 whip should’ve won I don’t think “it isn’t even close”

[@ShiestyNagoo]

@@mikedevlin_bmx2446they are undoubtedly fun to ride, but bowls are absolutely lame for x games. The riders can’t push themselves as far as they could if they had their own course.

[@butterlegs]

I agree that the riders can’t necessarily do their biggest tricks, but: I think we should keep the ramp parks for FISE/Olympics and continue to share a concrete park with the skaters here for a number of reasons. - it shows cities that we can and do coexist, that a seperate park isn’t needed for both and that bikes don’t need to be locked out - it makes BMX seem more accessible. There are concrete skateparks in so many towns and cities around the world while those big ramp parks might as well not exist - variety is good; I like watching people compete on different terrain and it’s cool to see diverse styles rewarded. Dovey ain’t getting 6th at FISE but he could do that or better here.

[@PlaySA]

I thought Varga's trick was the best one

[@maczman87]

Rip to a legend. Dave is the goat

[@chrissanford754]

Sandoval got robbed man. And just like dowell said, " how does a flair whip 10 years in a row win"? Like its a cool and hard trick but where's the progression? Its literally the same thing from peraza every year. Not taking anything away from Kevin, he is one of the best riders overall in the world but definitely did not deserve gold this year... judging for bmx this year period was absolutey a heaping botched pile of junk. End of story

[@kyleheaser351boombaby]

900 no hander beats flair whip catch whip all day. Justin was robbed of 3rd. Daniel still such a beast and such a ridiculous trick. Soon hoping for the double flip fakie!!!
