The four days will see a host of top action sports stars taking part – legendary names like Brazilian skateboarder Bob Burnquist will feature alongside British BMX stars Jamie Bestwick and Simon Tabron. Bestwick will be attempting to secure an uprecedented sixth-consecutive gold medal in the BMX Freestyle Vert discipline.
The event will also serve as a rolling introduction of the new six-event annual global X Games series that will launch next year, which sees three new events added to the established games in Los Angeles and Winter X Games in Aspen, Colorado and Tignes, France.
