Skateboard Vert

The first to go were vert riders. Jimmy Wilkins won a gold medal with 87.0 score leaving behind the old-stager Sandro Dias and young Mitchie Brusco taking third place

Skateboard Park

Pedro Barros once again proved why he is one of the best skateboard park riders today. Style, speed, big air - he must have a really bad day to be defeated. The Skater of The Year from 2011 Grant Taylor finished second and Aaron Homoki third.

Skateboard Street

As everybody expected, Nyjah Huston posted the highest run score in the finals to win his fifth X Games Street Skateboarding gold medal. Other podium riders Luan Oliviera and Alec Majerus took silver and bronze in consecutive order.

Skateboard Big Air

Only 14 years-old Tom Schaar wins his first gold medal with big 360 no grab and clean 1080 leaving big names like Bob Burnquist behind.
