This was the most interesting X Games we have seen in a while! Lots of new faces competing and the skaters are getting younger and younger. Newcomer 12-year-old Chloe Covell slayed on the street course and became the youngest X Games medalist at X Games Chiba taking a bronze medal. Brazil’s Rayssa Leal - no stranger to X Games won her first gold medal at age 13. Her first run placed her in the top spot with a frontside feeble grind, heelflip, kickflip backside lipslide, backside Smith grind, Ollie over the origami gap, frontside bluntslide down big rail. Although Toyama City’s Funa Nakayama was unable to catch Leal, she earned her first X Games medal with a silver medal, not too bad at all!
