Tom Schaar emerged as the central figure of the weekend, becoming the first athlete to claim three gold medals at a single X Games event since 2006. The 26-year-old from Malibu dominated the Skateboard Park, Skateboard Vert, and Skateboard Park Best Trick disciplines, capping his performance with a decisive frontside bluntslide kickflip to fakie. His success mirrored a broader team effort that saw Monster Energy riders sweep the BMX Dirt podium, led by Brady Baker, who secured gold with a 96.00-point run.
Monster Energy riders dominate inaugural X Games League finale
The first X Games League season concluded in New Orleans with a historic performance by the Monster Energy team, which secured 23 medals over three days. The weekend was highlighted by record-breaking runs and a series of technical milestones that redefined the competitive landscape of the inaugural summer championship.
In the women's events, Japan’s Mizuho Hasegawa solidified her place in history by reaching 13 career medals, the most for any female athlete in Summer X Games history. She also earned the XGL League MVP title with 680 points. Her compatriot, 16-year-old Miharu Ozawa, delivered a similarly impressive performance, claiming her third consecutive gold in Women’s BMX Park by landing a triple truckdriver—a maneuver never before seen in women’s competition. The event, held at the Caesars Superdome, finalized the 2026 XGL season, with XC New York taking the overall team title.
