A classic skateboarding and BMX event comes to Japan with the X Games Chiba. Get ready for three days of slick tricks and air flips.
What to expect
The X Games are known for being the most high-profile events in BMX and skateboarding, so expect an elite lineup of athletes. Friday is a practice day, so you’ll get to see some experimental tricks and routines from the competitors.
Things really kick off on Saturday, when the elimination events take center stage. These will be interspersed with some live music performances and awards ceremonies.
The hype carries on through to Sunday, which has the intense BMX park and skateboard street finals. To cool off in between, watch some exhibition battles and trick events — your heart won’t stop pumping.
