@@hankadelicflash It's the first event ever, and like they said in the interviews, the major sponsors cop'd out because it was their first event. High Risk/Little Reward. And we can see here that it wasn't so spectacular enough that this was the first time you've heard about it and live nearby :/
Same here. I grew up in the 80s and 90s as a vert/street inline skater, but just as a hobby. I wish they had this for inline skaters too. Honestly, even though I'm over 40, I'd compete in an inline version of this.
How is this not more popular? This was super fun to watch. Please also upload the skateboard high jump event (won by Tom Schaar) (clips of which are shown during the skatercross).
@@XGames Put a massive qurterpipe at the end like you do with the 'Big Air' event, and have an easily breakable 'finish-line' paper-strip (like they have in track & field) raised a few feet above the coping stretching the width of the deck. First skater to air it out of the ramp, and break the finish line wins!!! Thats showmanship, dog! That clip would make it in to the next years x-games promo spots for sure.
Wow. I never realized how much work goes into building the skate parks/course. That little FYI video was amazing. If I would have seen that as a kid I would have been a carpenter.
Does this pin mean that you will. It would be such a shame if it isn't made into an event. You can see from the comments that it's a huge hit with spectators. Please do it X-Games.
Skateboarding is so much fun to watch when the skaters are clearly having fun. Tony is still a legend too. Skateboarding is also one of the only things ive ever seen give so much credit to the builders.
Man, this was so sick! Andy Mac has always been one of my favorite skaters, and events like this just go to show why! I’d like to see you shred this course Tony!
@9:05 After competing in 1994 in a nine heat Snowboard Supercross final, I pulled a front flip on the last jump and won the contest, I was immediately disqualified for showboating!!! But we all know who won the competition, the fans!!!!!!
Love seeing contests and projects like this. People are genuinely happy for their competitors and everybody has a great time. Good way to evolve the skate community and keeping it thriving
Awesome event! Awesome coverage! Loved Tony as commentator. Gary can be a little overbearing but having those low key guys like Bob B. or Tony Hawk just heightens the quality of the whole coverage by miles.
Seeing the construction of the course is definitely really cool to see and I hope that is in more of these because I love seeing it all come together and getting tested.
dopest event !! need to see this on a bigger scale and at the x games! the race between Doherty & Schaar was soo intense ! entire event was very captivating
this has always been my favorite way to skate. just blasting through a pump track, flowing. love this. a trick comp for this track would be awesome too.
Love it. Thanks Tony!!! Thank you as well for the $$$ for the Springfield Oregon skate park. Got lucky met you there. World needs more like ya. Love the do a kick flip videos.
@@ScootsMcPoot lol, why? because they're low-key admitting that all the gold medals they've given out are subjective? It's not their fault. Skateboarding is not just a sport, it's an art-form and art is subjective.
I agree with all of that my guy. I am just saying it looks bad as an employee of xgames to admit to it. That's all. Its a good thing, hopefully they fix it.
So fun! They should have the second round be individual speed trials w/points for tricks! So many options for cool racing! A whole new saga for skatboarding.
Good job on this video. No faffing, just action all the way through. I'm so sick of sports videos that include all the interviewing, presenting the riders, recaps, speculation and all sorts of irrelevant filler. This one was just interesting all the way through.
Amazing job from Ron Kimler. Beautiful dedication from Andy. It's great to have Tony calling this. Talk about love for Skating... Still in it is Tony Hawk. Old but not decrepit! 😉
How have I never seen this before? I love this.
because this was the first event ever
Dude, I live just a couple cities over and I had no idea this happened. :(
Was just going to say this. This is actually pretty dang awesome.

Eu tambem demorei pra ver esse video. Muito divertido rrss
I was skeptical at first but now I’m sold this is sooooo rad
This was Andy Mac's wet dream for over 30 years
Same here. I grew up in the 80s and 90s as a vert/street inline skater, but just as a hobby. I wish they had this for inline skaters too. Honestly, even though I'm over 40, I'd compete in an inline version of this.

Yeah me too I wasn't really hooked until I saw ryan sheckler doing this, then I was like I want more (only to realize it was like 8 o months ago)
....

This is the most fun I have had watching an x games event in years.
Great to hear!
They need to make this a permanent contest for X Games.
How is this not more popular? This was super fun to watch. Please also upload the skateboard high jump event (won by Tom Schaar) (clips of which are shown during the skatercross).
Gonna have to look for it!
Also, check out the skateboarding figure skateboarding and the skateboarding javelin. Oh and skateboarding table tennis. YES! Go sport! Athletes 💪
Tik Tok and other distractions from other people's bullshit videos
Who cares about a high jump lol is this a tom schaar burner
This should really be an X Games event low key.
@Patrick White But I think thats the point
agreed
hi key
I think thats why they are promoting it on the X games channel. Seeing if there is interest
Dude Id watch, only thing that would make it more sick is extra points for tricks 🤙🏻🤙🏻 pretty gnarly though
This event was pretty cool actually, I'd like to see more. Theoretically you could make it even longer, switching back down a hill or something
The possibilities are endless!
The endurance needed for this is ridiculously high.

Making it in a loop would be the way to make it longer.
This is so awesome. I thought it would be just a simple competition and in the last run I was in the edge of my seat. WE NEED MORE OF THIS.
Word!!
Wow. I never realized how much work goes into building the skate parks/course. That little FYI video was amazing. If I would have seen that as a kid I would have been a carpenter.
gotta build em tough, gotta be able to take the impacts.
Thanks for uploading old stuff now, I hope this will continue.
That is the plan!
X games make this a contest. This looks like so much fun.
Does this pin mean that you will. It would be such a shame if it isn't made into an event. You can see from the comments that it's a huge hit with spectators. Please do it X-Games.
@@clickbait5714 We can definitely look into it!
@@clickbait5714 +1! Would absolutely LOVE to see this!

would love to see this event every year...
this is literally my favorite skating video i've ever seen
So cool and intense,thank you for downloading it on quarantine.
okay this is awesome, love the commentary with Tony as well
We need one of these parks in AZ man. Bring Skatercross to the world
This is the coolest I have ever seen!
How is this not a real yearly event? This is really cool.
I love the different focus and disciplines in skateboarding represented here from the usual street or park course.
Have this event again. Also, who's looking forward to Tony and Rodney doing a speaking tour? This guy!!!
Man, this was so sick!
Andy Mac has always been one of my favorite skaters, and events like this just go to show why!
I’d like to see you shred this course Tony!
He did in practice...
Way to compliment yourself. You're a real scout.
@9:05 After competing in 1994 in a nine heat Snowboard Supercross final, I pulled a front flip on the last jump and won the contest, I was immediately disqualified for showboating!!! But we all know who won the competition, the fans!!!!!!
You were ahead of the curve! Your showboating took some time for everyone to appreciate...
This was amazing ! The World needs more of this.
You didn't watch the whole thing. Go home 😄
24:28 Throw your board and take out your competitor. -Tony Hawk 2016
That's why he's the GOAT
@@akidotaco I forgot about this comment
42:50 you think this qualifies?
Oh hey, I helped build this :D
Really?! Great job on that, looks pretty smooth.
I wish i had something like this to skate on
what happens to all the ramps and material when this is done?
bernie i found you on youtube too haha, recently found your instagram
Thank you!
I wasn't sure what to expect but, I was pleasantly surprised. I would love to see this at the summer X Games at some point.
I’ve been waiting for X-games to add a skate race, this is ducking sick
I love how the x games now are a bunch of high schoolers with the few old school guys that stick around haha.
This is so fun to watch, I hope they do more of these events.
i love the x games still remember when tony hawk did the 900 it was awesome
Love seeing contests and projects like this. People are genuinely happy for their competitors and everybody has a great time. Good way to evolve the skate community and keeping it thriving

dawg this is crazy, brings me back to snowboardcross season.
I was just stoked that all three in the grand final finished. So awesome.
I can already see a tournament being made out of this... final course is longer and that bit harder?! Love this, keep it coming
And it could be a multi sport race. Skater board. BMX. Scooter. Rollerblades fmx! The options are endless
WOW! Evan Doherty and Tom Schaar are you kidding me? That battle was just insane! And they were so young! 12:33
Four years ago now, time flies....
This is so cool, should be an actual event
this is the x games that I love
l'event le plus dingue que j'ai pu regarder, ces mecs sont fous surtout a la fin pour les demi-finales et finale a 3, tellement épique !
Also, the fact that Andy Mac, and Evan Doherty is amazing
Welcome to this episode of Old vs New. 29:05
Yeah, it's truly anyone's game.
dopest event !! need to see this on a bigger scale and at the x games! the race between Doherty & Schaar was soo intense ! entire event was very captivating
this should be a thing. it's very fun to look at and it looks fun to ride
This was sooo much fun to watch, more of this please!
Why I just found this?! It's much more fun then other sports. I binge watching all the videos now😂😂 absolutely love it💖
These was great to watch! A whole family could sit together and watch this show tbh
I'd LOVE to see this take off! It brings me back to my youth. So much nostalgia! Seeing Andy out there was wicked too!!!
This is dope! Reminds me of the old downhill BMX races. Wouldn't mind seeing replays of those too!
Great idea, gonna have to dig those out too!
I could watch this all day , please make this a main event, sooooooo cool.
Oh my God this is now my favorite thing on the planet. I LOVE IT.
And these new kids make this so much fun to watch!
I really want this to be an x games event its so fun to watch
This was spectacular. Super exciting. Great sportsmanship from these guys. Loved the dynamic of Evan Doherty at 13 vs. Andy Mac at 42.
thanks for putting these up for us to watch!
@Xgames can you guys bring this event back!!!
This is sick, more more more
Really want to see this take off. It would be a really exciting addition to skateboarding in the next Olympics. Really a lot of fun to watch.
You clearly didn't watch it fall apart.
Nice thx for this in quarantine
this has always been my favorite way to skate. just blasting through a pump track, flowing. love this. a trick comp for this track would be awesome too.
I love board sports and the age range they usually have!! Keep it going!
Even if they wanted to use this as a solo course, or use the same idea. You could make a track, and do a slopestyle sort of event for skateboarding.
Man, my kid races BMX, DHMTB and also loves skateboards he would so want to do this. There needs to be more of this!
Why do I love this so much? This should be huge.
This event is awesome! I hope to see it continue at the X games!
Evan and Tom had me on the edge of my seat those dudes killed it!!!! I wanna see more of this!!!!
Idk how I haven't seen this before, but this is the coolest skateboarding event!
this is awesome. really entertaining. A speed and style setup would be a lot of fun on this course as well.
Making the course seems like a nightmare I can barely make a gingerbread house
First comment lol
Good to know the classic youtubers just watch these random older videos
Same 😂
Dude so cool to see you here. What did you think of Doherty vs Schaar round 1 that was so siiick
ah yes, I see we share the same 2am type vibes for videos
I'm with others! how did I miss this bit of freaking awesomeness??? Would love to see this again!
first time ever watching something like this and i think im forever hooked
Pretty dope I got to skate this track last year. Need to get back and spend more time on it, so much fun
Nice! This is what the x games needs! Looks fun!
Why is this just coming out now???
This is the first time I was actually excited watching a sport! Wheres the 2017 2019 and 2019 full broadcast??
We only did it in 2016. Digging into the archives lately, because, well, we can't leave our houses right now...
@@XGames was this ever planned to be be done again?
Heck Ya! This is cool. We need another one to happen, to help make 2020 better!
Love it. Thanks Tony!!!
Thank you as well for the $$$ for the Springfield Oregon skate park. Got lucky met you there. World needs more like ya.
Love the do a kick flip videos.
Is this still a thing?? I love it!!
38:31 I love how his accomplishment is “360 from earlier”
It's so great to see a skate contest where the judges can't screw it up, or turn it into a popularity contest.
True.
That's a bad thing for xgames to agree with. C'mon guy
@@ScootsMcPoot lol, why? because they're low-key admitting that all the gold medals they've given out are subjective? It's not their fault. Skateboarding is not just a sport, it's an art-form and art is subjective.

@@ScootsMcPoot Yup. well I didn't realize the vid was years old when I first commented either
This needs to happen again soon... This was insanely fun to watch.
Except the last 5 races...
So fun!
They should have the second round be individual speed trials w/points for tricks!
So many options for cool racing!
A whole new saga for skatboarding.
I'm a simple man I see Andy Mac , beaver Fleming , sheckler and schaar I click
This was better than I expected. I think a skater like Curren Caples would do well in this event
You are correct!
Good job on this video. No faffing, just action all the way through. I'm so sick of sports videos that include all the interviewing, presenting the riders, recaps, speculation and all sorts of irrelevant filler. This one was just interesting all the way through.
Thanks!
Maybe rails that you have to slide or grind. Maybe a required flip trick jump. Maybe a loop. Coolest event! Love it! Can't wait to see more
Amazing job from Ron Kimler. Beautiful dedication from Andy. It's great to have Tony calling this. Talk about love for Skating... Still in it is Tony Hawk. Old but not decrepit! 😉
Bonus info: Ron Kimler's signature frame from FBM was named the Livewire.
bring this event back!!! also was there a BMX race on the same course? because that would be sick too
BMXers can ride the course but there's never been a sanctioned BMX race on it.
I´m not a skater but i did enjoyed watching this! 👌🏽.
Amazing stuff!.
fun to watch them all progress on this. would love to see more street guys (and girls) there.
This is totally awesome! I was pretty skeptical that it would even work, but I think it does now!
Bring this back 2021!!!
All these guys are so efing good it’s ridiculous. Love it!
This really should be an x games event I love watching it
14:02 "how did it feel when he came inside"
"3 men enter, one man leaves"
Those youngsters put on quite the show! first race where both them finished and it couldnt've been any closer!
from an old bmx racer this is amazing!
Eric Rupe would light this course on fire!
This video is the best I love this channel. Greetings from Colombia
Thanks for watching!
incredible course....So straightforward. Love that.
Nice can you please upload some old winter xgames slopestyle broadcasts? Would make me very happy!!
Looking into that today!
I’m loving this
X games should partner with local places and put one of these in every state in America!
This is insane, I'd love to try it out
