Call this “Pat Casey’s BMX Dirt Best Trick”

[@dannyastro87a]

Good idea Ryan! Bmx history made today. Pat would have been so hyped.❤

[@ItsMuush]

well done man luke will be proud

[@Jlave1993]

Yo Ryan just got back from Japan great job there.

[@allennickles3970]

Your tops Mate! We love ya!

[@Runduchess]

❤

[@MisterIkkus]

Most jaw-dropping X-Games event I think I've ever seen.

[@PuertoRicanStyL]

Mind was absolutely blown over and over again in this competition. Feel like they needed to hand out 4 or 5 gold medals for this one.

[@BBB_photography_adventures]

man that was the craziest bmx best trick. honestly how do you chose between the top 3 and even andy buckworths 2 combo double flip is technical and gnarly, Jai tooheys nothing front bike flip to whip is ridiculous to do strength wise. the body vareal 360/720 thing was nuts probably the craziest one for me as i’ve never seen it before, Kadens 1440 was ball to the wall and was so corked out and rwilly is the goat! would hate to judge this as all 5 deserve the gold depending what aspect you look at

[@NegotiableHemingway]

Scotty is BMX. He makes the commentary and his passion for bmx is unquestioned

[@usmcdrum]

this is the best dirt best trick I've ever seen

[@Epic_Lifestyle]

This contest was absolutely savage. I can’t even imagine what kind of training guys go through do all these tricks. Definitely not the same since Pat passed away it’s a shame not to see him go out there and throw it all down. But I will definitely be missed, and we got lots of KZbin videos to watch of him and remembering

[@jluo]

If I was judge, I'd just throwing names in a hat and whoever got lucky won. This was absolutely insane. Everyone killed it.

[@user-weneedtotaco]

in soooo many ways, this was the best bmx dirt contest in the history of the x games. thanks to all involved for your hard work and for sharing such an adrenaline-filled, jaw-dropping, mind-blowing experience of talent and pure joy!

[@MyNameIsDraven]

Far out, everyone's a winner here. What a competition! So many gold medal worthy tricks landed

[@matthewdmiller4335]

Ryan Williams success couldn't happen to a better person. Good on em absolute mad lad

[@brandonyoung181]

I’m tired of these 720s being called cash rolls. If they don’t go upside down it’s not a cash roll.

[@goneedegogo]

facts bro

[@edsavage6214]

Are you kidding? This competition was insane!

[@patb6430]

Scotty Cranmer, gold for commentary!!! The best to ever do it, still the best part of X games!

[@Raul1Silva]

So glad Ryan finally did his nothing front front flip at Xgames!!! Let’s goooooooo!!!

[@blackrabbit5115]

This was a contest for the ages. I've been kind of jaded with BMX barspin/tailwhip spam the last several years so it's good to see people innovating some wild and actually creative tricks

[@MrSatchelpack]

This must be the best dirt jump competition ever. It was banger after banger after banger with so many NBDs.

[@Lucky_Stickman]

As a old guy that has watched every xgames this was the most insane riding and event out of all of them . Such progression from everyone. Just amazing

[@John_TheDrummer]

The best Dirt Best Trick contest in history for sure!!! These guys are INSANE

[@andrewshipp2739]

Just want to say, thank you X-games. This is the single best BMX comp I've had the pleasure to witness. If X-games didn't begin promoting action sports with Matt Hoffman and Tony Hawk leading the sport, we'd never have had this spectacle. Great riding from every single competitor. Rip Pat.

[@mikes1747]

That was the best thing I have ever seen in my life

[@cmfocusproductions2147]

Ryan..... man... you're not from this world! Watching you has be remarkable! You then constantly speak inspiring to people that follow you. Now you're donating your money to his family. Thank you for joining the BMX world. Honestly, you may have brought a lot of the energy back into it.

[@Neighbor618]

That was insanity. So glad they have Scotty there to break things down. They need side awards for Never Been Done's alone!

[@PlaySA]

The jumps were amazing for this contest. All different, but all huge and providing perfect opportunities to do enormous, never been done tricks. This has been one of the best X Games ever, without a doubt. It should always be in CA!

[@HeshingtonMugabi]

Unbelievable riding from everyone. Ryan is on another planet

[@mikephillips1043]

Ive never seen a better dirt competition in my life and ive been watching since the late 90s.

[@incredible5587]

R-Willy donating that money to Pats family!!!! 💖💖💖♥♥♥♥♥♥🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@johnmurray3346]

What a champion

[@mercedesdrake9113]

i dont really follow these athletes lives outside of watch the x games so this is how i found out Pat Casey died and im shocked and heartbroken. may he rest in peace. prayers to his family.

[@GeMan11]

I agree with Scotty this is the best dirt best trick contest ever

[@jonzy72]

If I never see another bmx dirt best trick again I will die satisfied

[@StarShopping69]

Single best comp of the weekend. Throwing my hands up in my living room at every single trick. They're not to the level that they're doing tricks you CAN'T do in video games. Ryan Williams is a class act. Everyone threw down and props to Kaden on his first ever X Games Medal.

[@Kaekoeth]

ive been watching x games since i was a kid back when nasty was trying to do double back flips on dirt. the tricks they do now are crazy compared to what used to be possible. true evolution of the sport.

[@deividas_kimontas]

So many new tricks landed! 🔥 Xgames is the best competition ever! 🙌

[@HugoFdosSantos]

03:11 Kaden Stone 04:17 Brady Baker 05:06 Jake Leiva 05:45 Jaie Toohey 06:54 Daniel Sandoval 07:34 Mike Varga 08:22 Dawid Godziek 08:45 Andy Buckworth 09:50 Ryan Williams 10:59 Kaden Stone 11:35 Jake Leiva 12:06 Jaie Toohey 13:11 Daniel Sandoval 14:17 Mike Varga 14:50 Dawid Godziek 15:59 Andy Buckworth 16:40 Ryan Williams 17:26 Kaden Stone 🥈 18:59 Jake Leiva 19:39 Jaie Toohey 20:07 Daniel Sandoval 20:49 Mike Varga 22:00 Dawid Godziek 🥉 23:32 Andy Buckworth 24:47 Ryan Williams 26:13 Jake Leiva 26:48 Jaie Toohey 28:19 Daniel Sandoval 28:55 Mike Varga 29:00 Ryan Williams 🥇 32:35 Ryan interview.

[@mikephillips1043]

The real hero of the story right here!!

[@saturnvi5421]

Partially makes up for Ryan being brutally robbed in the dirt comp. That man has to be in the top five most talented athletes in all of x games

[@cabarort]

All of you…Masters!! Thank you guys it was awesome!

[@Damo.68]

"Im coming for you pastrana". Ryan williams enters moto best trick 2024 😂. Good work ryan, you deserved that gold!

[@Honey_Daddy]

This was the most insane best trick I've ever seen. That 1440 I screamed "WHOOOOOOO!" And my wife asked if I was ok. XD the tension is crazy high. Such massive tricks and margine of error is razor thin on them. Every rider here deserves so much credit. Sandoval was crazy good, as always. Rwilly brought it, as always. Godziek was savage, as always. Varga was dialed, as always. Toohey went massive, as always. Buckworth consistently incredible, as alwqys. But that 1440.....something else. And then godziek just dropped the hammer with the 3 body varial. Then buckworth with the dub flip turndown to nohander. Im at a loss....

[@TheJohnnyViewer]

22:17 when Body varial 360 is not enough🤯

[@Turdfergusen382]

This may be the best show of x this year

[@Rightround0846]

WELL EARNED FOR THE TOP 3. PERFECT JUDGING THIS YEAR!!🎉 Best xgames dirt comp so far in history. Man I wished I would have seen that decade to 3 whip!!! Ryan is too great of a dude..

[@_ruge]

By far the shittiest judging ive ever seen

[@Truth-And-Freedom]

Top 5 tricks were just insane ! Judges had a hard job there !! R Willy just got so many insane tricks !!

[@krolik1157]

R-Willy with 2 gold medals and a silver with a few events yet to go...and he didn't even get to bring his scooter! They say the guy is "built for the X Games," but how is that possible when X Games has never had events for what he grew up riding?

[@sterling8298]

Congratulations, Ryan Williams on getting another GOLD.

[@OfficialUtahSupercars]

Good riders, amazing tricks, beautiful ocean, legendary announcers, perfect xgames

[@Goldfishyyy66]

What a year for best trick all around!

[@jordanlarson6488]

The double decade is so underrated. Scary and so unique. Wish it got scored higher.

[@Mothyone]

Mr. Cranmer is a great announcer keeps me coming back just for the wholesome enthusiasm!

[@havingfun8192]

I watched alot of Scotty’s recovery after the crash and the strides he’s made since while making video content and KZbin stuff. I’m super stoked to see him here commentating with so much passion and love for the sport.

[@tacoslurpees]

R.Willy is not from earth 🤯 Everyone really pushed it to the limit for Pat!

[@PlaySA]

Brady's trick was definitely NOT a cash roll double whip. He didn't invert at all, super flat, that was a 720 double whip which is still extremely sick.

[@Runduchess]

Cool point. Definitely necessary comment 👍 You should get a medal.

[@ITNOJ1]

It makes me so happy to see reid with everyone, celebrataing! another few years and he will be flying high! Pat Casey forever x

[@tfcfishing6912]

With this competition and insane level of the riders, it feels like true X-Games spirit again!!

[@staffh3815]

Ryan Williams is actually a super hero😂

[@kingdxy3808]

Great show from all the riders but I really hope they bring back scores, it adds so much being able to compare the tricks in that way

[@nicholasfoley7105]

Wonder if the other riders are just like.. hey Ryan how about you sit one out for us. Lol

[@fissshh]

Best BMX dirt best trick ever !!! Had me at the edge of my seat from start to finish !! A lot of NBDs !

[@VladimirMordvinov_07]

Браво Ryan! Самый безбашенный парень на свете.. Удачи тебе! Храни тебя Бог! 💥

[@lakeishamcbride3340]

I watched this my entire childhood. Finally got to go and it was AWESOME!!!!!

[@tugsman5]

jeeeeeSUS that was insane! Love these guys!

[@nkosinathi7242]

The contest was madness

[@mufudzimaposa]

This is absolutely insane... Wow

[@ryanrowe1975]

The best trick

[@jacobvierra4121]

Stoked to see dubby get 2nd

[@d0sxxgaming94]

Wow they got these guys doing double back flip mctwisties over pyramid size jumps

[@nicholascrow8133]

"a 1440 was one impossible on a bmx" heck, It wasn't that long ago that a 1080 was thought to be impossible! Maddness!!!

[@beverett6256]

Awesome event - so many NBD's!

[@nkosinathi7242]

Wow how generous Ryan, to give away the purse, thats amazing

[@rumblefishes]

Unbelievable.

[@Honey_Daddy]

I'm calling Brady's first trick a 720 double tailwhip. We're conflating an off axis 720 and a cash roll, a true 360 front flip. Just like we've conflated 360 down whips and decades. They're not the same things.

[@Drop9071]

I remember playing Dave Mirra BMX on my PlayStation, watching these guys is like watching a video game play out in Real Life. OK! Who's holding the controls LOL😂

[@eclipsearchery9387]

Now that was a contest......well done Ryan you deserved that, impressively 'impossible' tricks...what can you say......

[@superrose3609]

Love to see Scotty doing commentary.

[@kendallsmith7594]

Kaden got robbed. But this is the craziest best trick comp I’ve ever seen

[@boneuhfide]

It was a rowdy 1440 and he put it down like a beast, but if anything, he got gifted not robbed. 2nd place is plenty for the spin to win approach - his hands and feet stay glued to the bike and he spins like a pencil til the late cork. We can keep building jumps bigger and seeing more rotations + inversions, but body varials, bike flips, nothing flips, etc are so much more technical, creative, and entertaining imo and I hope the judges continue to reward innovation over rotations.

[@HitnRunTony]

These moves are straight up ridiculous.

[@cams2190]

Best contest in history!!🤯🥶

[@XC797]

Great job .

[@nkosinathi7242]

Dawid's trick was insane 🙌

[@insanebmxthomas]

awesome event. pretty sure i've never seen a best trick where everyone landed their trick 🤯

[@jespervernooij8636]

This was the best contest of any form I have ever seen. What a rediculous amount of quality in one session. I'm sure most of these guys were thinking they had gold in their hands when landing their tricks, only to find out they are off the podium.

[@jevernlauder4632]

What a best trick contest! Deffo dont wana be a judge on this. Ever.

[@pnwexplorer1122]

For Toohey, that trick is especially difficult because normally when he does whips he switches to right-foot forward, in this trick he had to land the whip Left-food forward!!! commenting before seeing results, SILVER MEDAL FORSURE

[@dickeepea]

Scotty can watch anyone try something and immediately recognise what was needed next time to land it

[@Sound_of_the_trees]

wow wow wow

[@pnwexplorer1122]

Watching RWilly over the passed few years and seeing him finally in xgames showing his true potential just blesses my heart. also I miss riding my bike

[@2Swift4u]

this was an unreal contest. Can't believe what tricks we just saw

[@ai_and_gaming]

The level here is unbelievable

[@pnwexplorer1122]

safe to say, for the progression of bmx that Dirt BMX Best Trick must be a MAINSTAY xgames please and thanks, papa bless

[@bmx08]

Nice nice nice ! Thanks riders 👏🏻

[@itzAnzo]

@X Games any reason for 720p and not 1080p??

[@harryadlay805]

👑‘s the anticipation was heavy

[@harryadlay805]

29:22 🔨

[@JawsSzczeki]

Dawid for the win!

[@GlennsHardWired]

When bikes get light...no way this could happen in the mid 2000's...😊

[@andrewshipp2739]

You're so right. Those guys were he-man doing double whips on 19kilo bikes. Now they're all sub 10kgs

[@blakeshields7099]

@ryanwilliamsofficial you sir are an inspiration to an entire generation above and below you. You are incredible human in many ways. Keep smashing life brother

[@TheGoldenFluff]

all next level crazy riding but for me that 1440 was gnarl. where does it all go from here? can't wait to see! thank you x games

[@sethmoyer130]

Best comp in x games rn

[@michaelcartwright4628]

This was crazy! Really want to see Godziak get whatever that first trick he was trying

[@Spicy_Conspiracy]

Just give a gold medal to leader and a silver to everyone else

[@petergoldammer3595]

PAT CASEY FOREVER!

[@sillygoose7473]

I dunno about that double whip cashroll not going to lie 🤣
