X Games unveiled an all new moto discipline this year with the 110’s or Mini Bikes, or Pit bikes.. or whatever you want to call them!  

I thought it would have been pit-bike racing but it turned out to be a full freestyle run and Axell Hodges took the win on his home turf over a field of some big name Moto and BMX riders.

I’m not going to lie, I didn’t really know what to expect and… I thought it was going to get some pretty harsh reviews.  But you’ll have to listen in to this episode to find out what everyone thought.

Actually we have a very special guest for this episode, one of the riders who competed in the very first 110s event at X Games with a late notice invite, Banks Hovey!  Banks was pumped on the invite, but he had huge problems with trying to fly from the East to West coast of the US to even ride his bike and some issues with TSA.  And he’ll go in-depth on the whole course and judging as well.

Also joining to talk about what went down are some regulars now: Antonio Navas, Javier Villegas, Andy Christie, FMX Grizz and Dani_FMX.

(correction, Javier’s episode was this year… it has felt like a long time due to Covid haha)

Results:

1. Axell Hodges
2. Colby Raha
3. Jarryd McNeil
4. Tim Ritson
5. Banks Hovey
6. Pat Casey
7. Tyler Bereman
