The risks they’re taking is no less than back in the day when Nate Adams was sponsored by Target, and your average FMX rider was earning a doctor’s salary. These days, unless a rider has a major social media following/merch company (ie Twitch, Axell), they ain’t making but $40-60K per year!

But if the money isn’t there, it’s really hard to justify literally risking life and limb for some short-term moto clout. If you ask me, the 50 or so dudes who are in this level of FMX deserve at least the salary of a NBA bench warmer (~$250K USD). But I get it, times have changed. It’s no longer the 90s/00s.

Rinaldo should have won this hands down! I dont think the judges understood what he did, and how hard it was. It was a NBD (never been done) Adelberg for sure should have gotten silver

The reason I think it's losing the hype is just the way the world is going.. It's not as cool as it once was.. Tho the tricks are insane that I would never do.. But it's getting too convoluted and not that new thing.. Nor are kids flocking to it.. You have to be kinda rich to get into that sport.. But again.. The pandemic has played a major role.. Ratings were down for the changes and so far the lowest in 30 years for the Olympics.. No fans in the stadiums.. Race issues abound everywhere.. It's just not going well

I get that what Rob did was hard, but Rinaldo is literally pushing the progression of Moto X before our eyes, not to mention had he had more than 4 weeks to work on it there probably would have been a backflip with that as well.

Man, Rinaldo's bars completely turned during his trick and managed to land it after a fudging hard crash ... The non-verbal said it all, that was awesome ! still glad in 2021 we can still see raw and real moment like those... These guys really put it all on the line, true courage.

Imagine if Tom Pagès was here! When he won the gold in freestyle motocross in 2019 his whole run of tricks seemed like contender tricks for best trick. Really liked Renaldos trick because it’s something we’ve never seen before; I like his style. Watch him do that trick while in a back flip next year! Or maybe even with a front flip! Can’t wait!

it was off because x games was late notice usually they have a bigger line up and more riders competing, but blame that on covid and olympics...also they riding at Axel's place usually they have a full stadium for x games with fans bringing the vibes

Getting the variety of feels from this one - LOVE the old school vibes of big tricks off big jumps on big open air dirt, sending it with big risks ...but, MAN it's tough to see these guys take those huge slams. But that's part of what makes MotoX best trick so special, there with step up & moto quarter pipe, mega ramp, although MX best trick may be the gnarliest of all(winter MX best trick has to be the gnarliest of them all... but, yea, it was probably a little too gnarly... lol). Big risk brings big reward, and they were sending it this year!

Hats off to Rinaldo for doing run #2 after crashing first run. I think he should have won, doing a new trick that doesn't even have a name yet. Moving all around the bike like that in mid air seems more technical than a double back flip. Can't do either so who knows, that's why we have judges! Hope everybody walked away healthy, very fun to watch.!!!

We need new judges. Rinaldo is inovating and Adelberg is playing repeat. Back in the day Rinaldo would have definitely have gotten gold. On a side note it's weird for sure not having a crowd

Nice to see them 2 strokes out there still.... Gives me that 90s vibe with Mike Metzger👌 and Brian deegan days 👌 i do love me the new 4 strokes tho a bit more tho 😎🔥👌

I definitely think bink should have got gold. That is a badass trick.

Hard to gauge Varial vs Frontflips vs doubles but i do feel like binks double variation was newer and better executed than sheenys

Forom my point of view binks duble flip was the best trick or the Rinaldo one

The announcer is like watching a horse race

"Just a casual frontflip" lol...

The Monster Energy games seem to have turned out well

I can't believe some of these guys are in there 30s. That's crazy. 💪💪. What I sport . I love watching these guys. My hats off too all of them. And some still riding hurt 🤕🤕. Crazy

I remember when they first got the back flip that’s when this was crazy always something new

Came here to finish what I missed when the stream lost single

There was a lot of spills which sucks, I can only imagine how much of a toll those falls, crashes, and sliding into bushes takes on the body. But it's awesome to see X Games again and I'm glad that we got to see the full competition despite the stream breaking down! I also think David Rinaldo should have won, he threw down some real good stuff especially after getting clocked in the head by his own bike

Man its crazy and it makes me feel old when I remember when Mike Metzger doing to no footed backflip was considered insane.

The fact that we have progressed so much in MFX best trick that a no handed front flip gets a 74. Even though it was a little off, Is nuts. These guys are absolutely fearless. Growing up watching the xgames and seeing guys land the first backflip, then the first double, first front flip etc. I was afraid the sport would lose popularity at some point because they finally found everything that could possibly be done on a bike. I’m glad I was wrong and it’s still thriving. huge applause to these guys making stunts that could easily kill someone or leave them paralyzed ( and have paralyzed guys when they first were tried) look easy!

Never seen so many crashes and one event must be tough and landing at this new place

Everyone went nuts when Kylie loza did a version of this trick and now they ignore the fact that Ronaldo did this highly difficult trick too, and for the first time in a competition. What a rob.

Don't really like that the announcer just hoped to see them in the next round after those crashes. I was hoping they were ok and uninjured.

I feel like the course was really unfinished, the barriers were way way to close to the landings so riders were running into everything, that seems a little bit like it was just overlooked and the issue was is that it’s on the 2 step downs when you’re bringing some of the most speed downhill

that first crash, when he was on the ground he looked messed up, might have had a seizure. Rinaldo was robbed. that trick was insane and new. that should get gold

These events are not the same without crowds of people

Rinaldo got robbed. The trick he pulled is new, insanely difficult and just better.

How much do they win for those near-quadriplegic maneuvers? Looks like the big winner was the Ramona Emergency Room, they got a dislocated shoulder, a sprained wrist, and possibly a neck injury with Rinaldo. Thats about 100K in one day! Cha-Ching!

They ride professionally in their respective disciplines they accel at. Progression of a sport needs professionals who are better then anyone else. Those riders influence people to buy/ sell bikes, goggles, gear, parts. So they can be like the best people will buy the same stuff their favorite athlete uses. It's sponsorship endorsements, contest winnings, hard work blood sweat and tears. These dudes risk more injury then any other athletes yet make crumbs compared to traditional sports athletes
