In the Dave Mirra BMX Park Best Trick contest, the stakes were sky-high—and so were the tricks. Ryan Williams, the Australian known for pushing the sport’s limits, pulled off a frontflip flair tailwhip on the quarter pipe, claiming gold in a jaw-dropping moment. Williams now owns 11 X Games medals, including nine golds across four disciplines—a feat few riders can match.

Williams was joined by Kevin Peraza, a legend in his own right from Tucson, Arizona. Peraza secured the bronze with a flair downwhip to fakie that highlighted his creative approach. His X Games tally now stands at 12 medals, including seven golds.

In BMX Flatland, Japan’s own Moto Sasaki rode through injury to grab silver with a gravity-defying front wheel combo that demonstrated both strength and finesse. Now a two-time medalist, Sasaki continues to push the Flatland discipline forward on the world stage.

Skateboard Vert Best Trick Ignites the Dome

Osaka lit up again when Moto Shibata, one of Japan’s most prolific skateboarders, threw down a front foot impossible lien 540 during Skateboard Vert Best Trick. The rare and complex maneuver earned Shibata silver, his tenth X Games medal and a huge crowd reaction in his home country.

Tom Schaar Closes the Weekend with Gold

The event’s final note belonged to Tom Schaar, who once again delivered under pressure. In Men’s Skateboard Park, Schaar defended his gold medal title in flawless fashion. His run included a frontside stalefish 360 over the box and a backside 540 melon that wowed the judges and separated him from the rest of the field. Schaar now owns 16 X Games medals and remains one of the most consistent forces in modern skateboarding.

He also walked away with bronze in Men’s Vert, landing a kickflip body varial McTwist that few others even attempt. The double podium finish highlights his technical versatility and competitive resilience.
