Urban Games - Because Life is a Sport!

Last year’s Board X was bigger and better than ever as thousands came through the door to experience top snow, skate, BMX and B-Boy action at Europe’s biggest indoor snowboard event. There were a host of new features including a giant Big Air that stood at 24m high – the largest slope at any UK event, an indoor grind rail feature, a B-Boy arena and an improved street course.

The Big Air was once again the showpiece of Board X, drawing huge crowds who watched some of the best names in the UK such as Dom Harrington, James Carr and Chris Goulder compete in the British Open on Friday. Quicksilver’s Mathieu Crepel won the men’s final on Saturday and Sunday with Scott McMorris and Markku Koski in close second respectively. The Vans Girls Big Air was shared by Nikita’s Natasha Zurek and Zoe Gillings from Dragon, with Vicci Miller third and Laura Berry fourth.

The street BMX final once again did not disappoint with Tobias Wicke winning, and Ben Hennon and Ben Manuel coming joint second. Danny Wainwright continued his unbelievable run by beating Micky Iglesias and Rodney Clarke into second and third to win the Street Skate final.

Look out for new developments on this site over the summer about Board X, and information about this year’s Sprite Urban Games that takes place on 23rd-25th July. If you would like any more information about either event, please feel free to contact George Foster on 020 8267 8055
