This is the first time in X Games history that there has been a BMX street competition in the U.S. They tried out the street format contest in four countries earlier this year and it worked out, so they brought it to States.

The format is as follows:
Twelve riders compete for six spots in the finals. The first group of six in qualifying session one section of the course for seven minutes. Then the next six session the same section of the course for seven minutes. Then the groups move on the the other two sections of the course, having a jam at each section for seven minutes.

The riding this evening at the Staples Center was pretty insane. The course is definitely “real street” and the riding was too. It honestly looked like a good representation of street riding today.

It was no surprise that Garrett Reynolds qualified first since he won each of the other four X Games street contests (in Dubai, Mexico, Brazil, and China). Garrett did the most, most consistent, and hardest tricks at each section of the course and pretty much blew everyone else away. Below are some photos of practice along with the qualifying results. Look for the video from this soon.
