Justin Dowell Defends His BMX Park Crown


Justin Dowell successfully defended his Men's BMX Park title, putting down a championship-winning score of 97.00 in his final run.


After crashing on his second attempt, the American responded under pressure with a flawless run featuring a 360 double tailwhip, triple truckdriver, flair barspin, backflip barspin to turndown, truckdriver to downside tailwhip and a massive 900 no-hander.


The victory marks Dowell's second consecutive X Games Men's BMX Park gold medal, backing up his victory in Salt Lake City in 2025 and further establishing himself among the world's top park riders.


Logan Martin Continues to Deliver


Australia's Logan Martin once again found himself on the X Games podium, earning silver in Men's BMX Park with a score of 95.66.


Martin's highest-scoring run included an opposite flair opposite whip, 720 barspin flipwhip, double downside tailwhip and double flair, demonstrating the consistency and technical riding that have made him one of BMX's biggest names.


The Olympic champion wasn't finished there, adding another silver medal in the Dave Mirra BMX Park Best Trick contest later in the weekend.


Kevin Peraza Returns to the BMX Park Podium


Kevin Peraza claimed bronze in Men's BMX Park after posting a 94.00 on his final run.

After winning Dave Mirra BMX Park Best Trick at X Games Salt Lake City 2025, Peraza arrived in Sacramento looking to return to the podium in the Men's BMX Park discipline after narrowly missing out on the medals in that event last year.


His bronze-medal run featured a can-can one-handed tire grab, Superman seat grab, barspin transfer to wallride toboggan, 360 double downside tailwhip, big alley-oop air, no-handed pocket air, flair, truckdriver to tabletop, peg grind over the wagon wheel and an incredible flair tailwhip to fakie over the box jump.


The result brings Peraza's career total to 14 X Games medals (8 gold, 3 silver and 3 bronze).


Ryan Williams Lands a Competition-First for Gold


Ryan Williams once again raised the bar in BMX progression by taking gold in the Dave Mirra BMX Park Best Trick contest.


Williams landed a competition-first 540 frontflip flair on the vert wall, securing another X Games gold medal and adding yet another groundbreaking trick to his growing list of achievements.


Logan Martin finished with silver, while Daniel Sandoval rounded out the podium with bronze.


Brady Baker Tops the Dirt Podium


The BMX Dirt final produced another incredible contest, with Brady Baker taking the gold medal after putting together the strongest run of the competition.
