As stoked as we were to see Brit Jamie Bestwick topping the podium for a rad-donkulous 9th time, what was definitely noticeable was how old the field was.

All three medallists were over 40, making it the oldest ever X Games podium, with a combined age of over 120 years old. I don’t know what the average would be, but I’d bet it’s not often more than 75.

The result was so noticeable that even X Games organisers ESPN (who are usually overwhelmingly positive with all their X Games coverage) wrote an article wondering whether BMX vert had a future.

I guess that remains to be seen.
