Monster Energy Athletes Dominate Day Two at X Games New Orleans

The atmosphere at the Superdome reached a fever pitch as Brady Baker claimed gold in BMX Dirt, joined by Mike Varga in silver and Ryan Williams in bronze. Baker’s victory, bolstered by a 96.00-point third run, marks his fourth career gold in the discipline, cementing his status as a dominant force in the sport. Earlier in the day, Ryan Williams secured gold in the Dave Mirra BMX Park Best Trick, executing his signature "Oliver Twist" to reclaim the top spot on the podium.

In the skate arena, Tom Schaar captured gold in Men’s Skateboard Park with a 93.80-point performance, narrowly edging out the field. Schaar continued his momentum into the Men’s Skateboard Vert Best Trick, where a late-session alley-oop kickflip backside lipslide earned him silver. Meanwhile, Japanese phenom Mizuho Hasegawa made history by earning bronze in Women’s Skateboard Vert Best Trick; the result ties her with Leticia Bufoni for the most Summer X Games medals by a female athlete. Toa Sasaki rounded out the team’s success by clinching silver in the Monster Energy Men’s Skateboard Street final, marking his first-ever X Games medal.
