X Games 15 will kick off on July 29th, and today we got into the Home Depot Center to see the newly built BMX cement/wood Park course and check out some of the riders during one of their first practice sessions. We also caught up with the course builders and a few of the BMX riders for interviews. This year’s contest is going to be nuts, and we can’t wait!
