The medal also landed him in the history books as the youngest gold medalist in X Games history. Eighteen years later, 12-year-old Gui Khury made X Games history by besting Hawk’s 900 with the first-ever fakie 1080 mute landed in X Games competition.
The last time Hawk competed at X Games was in 2003, when he won gold in Vert Best Trick with a 900. The Pacifico Skateboard Vert Best Trick contest had a surprise entry from Skateboard legend Tony Hawk at 53 years old. Eleven-time X Games medalist Elliot Sloan nabbed his first-ever podium in Vert with silver and 10-time X Games medalist Mitchie Brusco added a bronze to his collection. Wilkins’ runs included tricks like kickflip melon, alley oop frontside ollie, alley oop tailgrap 540, ollie 540, backside ollie to disaster. This marks only the third time X Games has seen a Skateboard Vert threepeat – and one of them was competing today alongside Wilkins: Bucky Lasek.
Outside on the vert ramp, Jimmy Wilkins earned his third straight gold medal in Pacifico Skateboard Vert. Sky Brown will represent Great Britain and Bryce Wettstein will represent the USA in the upcoming Tokyo Olympics. All three riders earned their first X Games medals. 17-year-old Encinitas native Bryce Wettstein rounded out the podium with bronze. 19-year-old Mami Tezuka launched herself into silver medal position with her last run, where she stomped a frontside stalefish over the gap in run four, which she had never landed previously. However, it was her third run that was her best, which included a frontside 360 box jump, frontside alleyoop 270 on the hip and a backside tailslide through the corner. She is the first woman to land it and the only woman who does that trick in competition. Nine days after turning 13, Sky Brown dropped into her first run and dropped a frontside 540 as her last trick. In Women’s Skateboard Park, the teenagers once again ruled the competition – the field had an average age of just 18. Fellow rookie and CA|TF regular Gavin Bottger took silver while Tristan Rennie took bronze, his second in the discipline.

Though Pace had previously earned an X Games medal as an amateur in Next X Skateboard Park at Minneapolis 2018, this was his first in the Skateboard Park discipline. The event is closed to the public with no spectators in attendance throughout the week.Ĭompetition kicked off with Men’s Skateboard Park, where X Games rookie, Liam Pace, ended up on top.
