In 2016, the “World of X Games” partnered with Andy Macdonald to present ‘Skatercross,’ a new transition-based skateboarding discipline in which skateboarders go head-to-head on a purpose-built track built for speed and style. The race-style competition attracted skateboarders across all terrains, including Tony Hawk, Bob Burnquist, Ryan Sheckler and more. This is the full ABC broadcast.

CHRIS ROBERTS: Skaters In Cars l X Games
“We are back.” Wait, wrong skate interview series….
Welcome to another edition of “Skaters In Cars,” featuring none other than Nine Club host Chris Roberts. Since 2016, Roberts has been the main host of skateboarding’s premiere podcast, The Nine Club, interviewing the top names from across the skate industry and beyond, from pros such as Bam Margera to artists such as Neckface to Lil Wayne.
But before Roberts jumped into the role of interviewer, he was making a name for himself by skating. As a sponsored pro for Chocolate Skateboards, Roberts has lived and breathed skateboarding for over two decades, and his wealth of knowledge helped him transcend into hosting The Nine Club with ease.
In this episode of “Skaters In Cars,” the host becomes the guest yet again as Roberts and Chris Nieratko visit some of the more well known skate spots on the Westside of Los Angeles.
Get in the car and buckle up. It’s gonna be an interesting ride.
MITCHIE BRUSCO: #2 | X Games 2019 Top 10 Moments
Mitchie Brusco takes the #2 spot on the X Games Top Ten list. The 900 was first landed on a skateboard 20 years ago (at X Games, of course). The trick remains so difficult that fewer than 10 people have done it at X Games. Then came the 1080; you can count the people who have landed that trick on one hand. Now we have the 1260.
–Mitchie Brusco landed the world’s first 1260 on the quarterpipe during Run 3 of Skateboard Big Air. He crashed attempting the trick in his first two runs, and that came after crashing on it twice at X Games Shanghai. He made it look easy in his 5th overall attempt at X Games. The 1260 was part of a line that included a switch 180 over the 50-ft. gap. Despite the world’s first 1260, Mitchie took silver.
He now owns 10 X Games medals total. And 1260 bragging rights.

VINICIOS SARDI: #10 | X Games 2019 Top 10 Moments
Vinicios Sardi takes number 10 in X Games Top 10 Moments. X Games has a long and impactful history with adaptive events. Minneapolis 2019 was the debut of Skateboard Park Adaptive as a medal discipline, and the importance of that was evident on the course. Vinicios Sardi, who was born with a congenital malformation in his legs and skates without prosthetics, took gold with tricks like an awesome sugarcane stall and a collection of handflips. It was the first time the 23-year-old Brazilian had traveled to the United States, and the tears of joy in his victory interview with Craig McMorris? Goosebumps.
MITCHIE BRUSCO: What’s Next? | X Games
Mitchie Brusco made history at X Games Minneapolis 2019, landing the first 1260 on a skateboard. He was nonchalant about it, slowly descending the ramp, sill focused on the trick he had just landed for the first time. But it was clear from his first run that Mitchie only had the 1260 on his mind. His switch 180 over the 50-foot gap was instant evidence that he was focused on giving himself the best opportunity on the quarterpipe.
