day two of X Games California but the action rolls on here in beautiful Ventura California as we welcome you now to the men's skateboard Street best trick live from the Ventura Fairgrounds what's happening everybody Brandon Graham joined alongside my partner Gary Rogers in front of a sell-out crowd we've got eight of the best street skateboarders on planet Earth duking it out in a single best trick contest spot to get real Jamie Foy trying to go three feet by the way some huge names though Stand in his way but what is it about Jamie Foy skateboarding that just lends itself to this format first off is this consistency it's the trick he's willing to pull out it's the fact that he's gonna make sure he does land it that's what makes it special yeah well let's take a look at who will be joining Jamie Foy out here in men's skateboard Street best trick as we said had the hitters take a look at those last couple of names yuto oragome and ninja Houston a lot of Hardware in this field Gary you better believe it of course A lot of these guys will be competing in our men's skateboard Street final tomorrow pretty much everybody except Vincent huh oh Shane O'Neal but your thoughts Gary Rogers not only on this course but this obstacle specifically that uh these guys will be hitting well first off is a little wiggly so that's that's gonna play a factor a lot of people saying they're having a hard time getting the right snap off that kind of rounded pop right there so I'm willing I want to see who is able to put things down in the time and these guys are the best in the world so hopefully we see a lot but they are saying it's giving them difficulty Gustavo hibiero dropping in first can you believe I told him to do that trick you did I did well he was a late ad he was an alternate and he got in so he probably didn't have the Playbook no I didn't thank God he ran into Gary Rogers also coming in late into this contest Vincent Malu wow [Music] now Gary I I know this happens in a best strict contest where you don't see a lot of make so maybe you're watching at home going how hard is this stuff that these guys are trying to do right now can you just scaling one to difficult we'll talk about a 25. they're trying like literally stuff that they would never put on this obstacle you're not gonna run or anything like that they're trying to up the difficulty by way too much oh he yo I need a replay on that I need to see that are we are we gonna run that back Kelvin Hoffer yeah I think we're gonna run it back our first make of the contest because I need y'all to look real close right here he missed the crook so it is the kick lamella slide I want you to see that okay he missed that he missed the truck right there it was almost there but he survived Calvin Hoffler 6X Games medals including a couple of goals Chris Joslin no one more decorated than Chris when it comes to our real street video contest oh Chris said forget the sign it's the obstacle all right well let's head down to the third member of our team who's with a history maker Corbin Harris what you got yes if you guys were watching women's skateboard vert this woman here Rhys Nelson has made history as the youngest ever athlete of all time to win a medal here at X Games what does that mean to you Rhys uh it means a lot to me I was just really excited to land my line yeah well congratulations we can't wait to see what the future holds thank you thank you 10 years old Gary 10 years old in the return of women's verb a contest we haven't seen in 13 years that was so adorable and she was in first place until erisa Drew took it from her she could have won Gold today here's now some would say that this is a contest potentially for Braden open um when it comes to best trick pretty I pretty much know all the people that would say that has done just about anything that you think is possible on a skateboard so why not put that down at some point to watch and practice Utah try to three or four ridiculous tricks so we'll see which one he decides to settle with Niger Houston this is an event he has won before owner of 20 X Games medals 13 of them gold [Music] play with him he was close Gary he could smell it uh oh if Nigel's not close this early yeah shut it down crazy Jamie Foy he went back to back can he make it a three-peat in this discipline oh yes okay wow 180 switch crew coming in fakie you know Jamie just kept getting into her tail and then some of them he's just kicking out so to see him actually lock that in first go good pop out stuck to his feet it doesn't matter if it's real street street street best trick real Street best trick skateboarding Jamie gonna do it so we start back up on the top Gustavo rubiero just his second X Games appearance and you know what I love about this contest is it's get towards the end of the day here not only do we have a sellout crowd but seemingly every skateboarder who's competing at X Games this weekend is here watching difficults here doing the pop show back 50. behind you it's hard it's blind it does it it almost wow wow [Music] Bayonne France and he's he's the owner right he's the late end got the call in about an hour ago wow commit oh those are standing oh I guess so here's hopler oh yeah you know we had our make sure the truck was on there that time we had our street elimination yesterday and I would say I don't there were a few skaters that were as comfortable on this course as a whole than Kelvin Hoffler yeah Kelvin really gets used to the courses pretty quick huh because that's all they do so like 90 hours before just practice the whole day Jocelyn dropping in for his second attempt I love that Chris is always gonna make sure he adds up his own flavor to any best trick onto this like I don't know if the judges will deduct that or whatever but the fact that he wants to Backside flip that makes it just it's that's Chris Johnson we saw Chris Joslin in our real Street best trick contest earlier in the week at Rincon a spot that yeah he destroyed years ago some of his most iconic Clips really wanted to put him on the map here though Braden Hogan oh the kicker back tail [Applause] there you go b-money [Applause] [Music] so hoping with the make here in that kicker back tail he's in Suzuki for a second we still counted the got that angle I don't think the judges care be right away with that amount of style though they just like we gonna give it to them they're going to give it to him advice give it to him I mean first place Braden Hoban jumping up into the top spot so here's you tohora Gomez second attempt here at skateboard Street best trick [Applause] yuto clearly wants it you told me looking disappointed I was gonna say really doesn't show emotions the only trying something so hard I love that the hookers are pushing themselves too they are doing tricks that annoy them they're not doing this as easy except Kelvin you got kick with Crooks all day just the obstacles they were supposed to do it on the Michael Jordan of Street skateboarding fitting that this is his 23rd X Games appearance no I just LeBron okay all right we already talked about we've had these we've had these discussions in years past LeBron he's the most dominant well there you see Jamie Ford trying to go for that three-peat we caught up with Jamie before this contest let's hear him in his own words [Music] getting ready for the X Games Adventurer I've kind of just been hanging out with my homies skating filming and going to the parks here and there and just kind of doing the same old thing I always do [Music] I'm super stoked that X Games is back to a unique skate park design instead of being in the catf that was cool for like two years but it's definitely cool to get back out to a crowd and you know just have a unique skate park to have a contest that [Music] um the 2017 Saudi Jamie Foy has won this event twice in a row man whoa that's how you upgrade yourself closing in on the 12-minute Mark here and best trick poben Malu Hoffler are your one two and three currently but all you need is this one Gary is just one oh no so Gustavo unable to put that down you know Gustavo has done the the crook a lot and the drops a bit high but I think this one coming into that bank is gonna mess around oh yep and that's going to be that's one of the hardest tricks to ever do in a day like in a 24-hour time period every time he lands what he's about to do I don't want to spoil it it just blows my mind so Kelvin Hoffler sitting in that third place spot here's Chris Joslin dropping in for attempt number three oh but that's what I love about this format Gary is right now it's it's like live theater right there's like a hush over the crowd it was demo style too kinda it's like oh yeah but as soon as something anything that goes down yeah right Hogan our current leader get into him again when he's trying to turn to back tail that back trucks not letting him turn all the way which is usually not a problem man Braden got a lot of precision with his huh Precision that's a great way to describe it here's yuto oh he's getting closer here's Nigel [Applause] there you see the wiggle of that sign you think he watches the clock and he's like you know what it's not 40 seconds left I'm gonna break all these people's heart that is competing this oh Jamie unable to put it down one side back down to Corbin Harris out on the course Corbin what you got yeah Brando I just had a quick uh a quick chat with big boy Foy and I said what do you like about this he said you know what I actually really love the obstacle but he said it's actually really hard to skate so he's struggling with it out there but hey he can pull any trick out of anywhere so I'm sure he's got something in the bag I'm glad that Jamie Foy has the same observation about this obstacle as we do it's very hard to escape that was too close and then he's hustling it's like he it's like he unlocks something right there huh yeah he's like okay here's Kelvin hopler oh thinking to kickleback Smith but the way he was kind of turning his shoulders look like he might want AO Adam ski ready for these fireworks baby vibing with the homies skate best trick we just take the nicest comment where's the rude stuff oh trust me I think I need that right I think it's a key I think you need a keyword search to get away from I know I got a hashtag in there somewhere braided oh hey Braden Holborn has some fans here in Ventura bro his family's beautiful bro they so cool his auntie I met his his cousin Utah wasting no time I know raids from Encinitas but Ventura welcome with open arms here now Houston platform [Music] [Applause] getting that backside blue nose guy like it's nothing Niger doing Niger things an absolute Electric Factory here at Ventura Fairgrounds entering X Games mode taking another look coming in fakie off about a three maybe two and a half three foot drop into that Houston we have liftoff oh Milkman I wish I would have used that line man that was great so Nigel Houston taking over the top spot in search of that 14th career goal here now Jamie Foy oh all right remember Vincent was so close hustled through that wax on got back up quick does he have it oh Nick this foot on the way up so it's Niger Braden and Vincent Malu currently in your top three as we close in on the six minute mark we're at Ben's skateboard Street best trick Kevin Hoffler oh okay finally flipping it all the way over a little bit yeah 4X Games medals in 12 X Games appearances he's Chris Joslin it's a temp five [Applause] [Music] that's right we just knew it was a matter of time yeah and if there's more for the people than anything because knives are fully just backside Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Chris just sent out your flat so he just went crazy oh look at the distance traveled Gary Rogers just grinding in slow motion the grown man goatee Chris Johnson got it right in Hoban he's been close oh that was the closest I flipped all the way over here uto and Niger have had some battles yuto right now trying to get his name in the Hat as we get ready for Nigel to drop in for an encore let's head back out to Corbin straight off the that just coming off that one I I just voted to him and I said how does that feel and he looked at me with the sigh of relief and he thought he's like it feels pretty good he goes I tried that 50 times during practice and didn't get it hey that's why he's the number one and he's uh reign supreme for 10 years straight or even more facts I mean we kept watching him do it and I'm just like I'm not saying it's impossible but it's like he's Knight to Houston eventually you can get it but I mean when you're up against the clock you're trying to film the hardest trick you could possibly think of on this and you actually do it in the contest with a gold medal at stake but did you catch practice and seeing the fact that he did the kick to front nose first that's what US yes that's why he's one of one yeah but I think kicker for noses not harder but definitely just dangerous to want to warm up with not getting the barbershop back to Smith that time Kelvin Hoffler 408 to skate with okay oh man Dwayne Michael Carter why nobody tell me Wayne was just going to show up I gotta watch the best tree I'm shaking wait did you say Dwayne Michael Carter is right there Lil Wayne is he's right there he's three feet from us yeah you trying to get into town come on Nigel Naja Houston our current leader oh remember now I just got 13 career X Games gold medals a win tonight would give him 14 years Jamie Boyd [Music] foreign that would be 15 which would put him back in a three-way tie with Sean White and Garrett Reynolds for most Gold Series oh hi I was just about to ask him oh [Applause] man wow wow Gustavo hebiero a late add to this contest you say with a h yeah okay Portuguese I hope I'm saying it right you're watching Portugal apologies if I'm not wow it almost yeah [Music] so close to yanking him but he stayed home let's see what Gary and I thought of it [Music] so that puts him all the way up into that silver metal spot bumping Braden down into third here's Vincent Malu that's the hardest trick that's the hardest trick if he would have did that that's the hardest trick that's a gold medal that's the hardest trick bro that's the hardest trick to do out here humans can't do that two minute warning here in best trick Kelvin Hoffler oh here's Chris Johnson oh want to try something nollie off that thing I think that thing's a weird snap because you see Utah even doing the nollie 270 it's not working and he hits that every time here's yuto oh Houston oh a win for Niger ties Bob Burnquist for most skateboard goals in X Games history at 14 by the way Bob is dominant Jamie Jaime Jamie trying to enter the chat come on with less than a minute to go oh this should be last attempt time so that might do it for Gustavo here's Vincent Ballou who got dropped out of the top three oh that was commitment right there he was trying to get to all he could he's just gonna try it Kelvin Hoffler if not now when here's Chris Joslin he's got one make foreign [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] geography with Gary Rogers Braden Holby just did it big and Ventura though the show for sure all right boy on his final attack oh the best trick oh he got Heist of his beezies who was that [Music] little shoulder shrug from the 22 year old I think we're done that's true you too horagome Japan on his back Japan on his back [Applause] [Applause] what is happening on the last attempts of the contest are you kidding me hit him we don't even know the standings right now but I do know nah bro that's OD Niger could not play it bro that's OD DS [Laughter] on me yeah we uh [Applause] all right is this it is this for the top Niger and Jamie are the two final skaters to drop and Away wing oh okay he committed okay he committed so then there was one some of these tricks no no no no no no no no all these tricks are ridiculous JB Foy this is the final attempt of best trick oh okay all right Gary so that's gonna do it yeah Brady Utah hi John we're gonna win who's gonna win how who who I mean we'll wait for the judges because we no longer have live standings who in the Gary Rogers in in your who who won just the way that Chris couldn't snap the nollie back heel figured it out that's too nuts but then Braden just back too bad side please nah you told Daddy in my head in the Gary Rogers World I've been wrong before into your head that's a beautiful place to be hey I mean but but for you go to do that on the attempt his last attempt is just extraordinary and that is awesome that just human beings don't do what he just did with the stakes like that they don't so nigah Houston had the top spot then we lost the standings and then uto did what Utah did and it got Wicked quick the Fate for everyone is uh in the judge's hands does Niger Houston earn a 14th career X Games gold or does yuto deny him on his final attempt on his way to a fourth career X Games gold medal [Applause] oh [Music] [Applause] [Applause] [Music] you're right everyone I know from Encinitas is sitting in that section and it's official YouTube [Applause] and that's exactly the standings that's how that should have been Utah Houston who is in the top spot during those final attempts ends up earning bronze [Applause] or let's take another look at the gold medal trick Gary bro the knowledge 270 it's a no slide across the side getting a good enough slide two not in the end Landing Square did his Thug bro I love it look that that's my favorite that's that's how it look that's a meme right there beam of the night that Meme is gonna go with a lot of experts that Meme is about to go on all the wrong websites no contacts needed no contact earning his fourth career X Games gold the sixth of his career do he not know [Music] [Music] I I would say that he doesn't know but that's like uto's mode anyway but I'm saying all the time I don't think you know yet wow what a performance from this field at the end of the day it's yuto Hora Gomez earning gold on his last attempt of the contest that's as good as it gets much more coming from next games including best whip when we return after
