For a second straight year, X Games is rolling out the Real Moto event with some heavy hitters. The concept, created from similar contests for skate and snowboarding, will feature six freeriding athletes in a one-round, winner-take-all format.
The judge-awarded X Games gold, silver and bronze medals will be announced as part of an hour-long “World of X Games” ABC broadcast Saturday, August 20 at 2 p.m. ET. The Fan Favorite, which is voted on by you, the fans, will be announced on XGames.com on Monday, August 22. Voting ends on Sunday, August 21, at 11:59 p.m. PT.
2015 Real Moto gold medalist Ronnie Renner is back to take on 2015 silver medalist, and Fan Favorite, Jeremy "Twitch" Stenberg. Axell Hodges, who you know from his amateur moto days, is making his debut. Kris Foster, Australian Clinton Moore and Steven Haughelstine round out the roster.
