Downhill BMX: X GAMES THROWBACK

In a time before indoor super-smooth 10m start hills, tarmac berms, concrete sections and clip-in pedals and carbon forks… X Games ran a pro-invitational Downhill BMX race as part of its annual X Games shindig. This took place on the hill at Woodward, and was as BMX as it gets. Should racing still be like this today?

“The jumps were massive, the invites were stacked and chromoly frames were your best bet for getting through the track unscathed. Watch as 1-800-Collect’s Robbie Miranda puts in the work and comes out on top.” – X Games
