They will also be bringing back the Big Air Skateboard/BMX Doubles that debuted last year. The event is a twist on the popular doubles competitions from the late 90s, but last year’s mixed rider format proved an exciting new challenge for athletes on the Big Air ramp.

 

This year’s headlining performers are G-Eazy, All Time Low, Logic and fan favorite Blink-182. Learn more at xgames.espn.go.com.
