X Games Best Trick Preview 2025 - A surprising riders line-up and our predictions for the event

X Games 2025 is back and this year it's in Salt Lake City!

For the 30th year of X Games, it'll be a big celebration but before we get there let's check out who's in Moto Best Trick!

Rob Adelberg
Taka Higashino
Brian McCarty 'McGnarls'
Ben Richards
Tom Richards
Jacko Strong
Genki Watanabe

This will be an interesting Best Trick competition - but there are 4 big name riders missing who could easily be there!

Axell Hodges - he has tricks that no other riders do... wheelie backflip, seat standing landing
Clinton Moore - ALMOST landed the 720!
Remi Bizouard - Also working on the 720 but it's on the electric bike which has been banned......
Julien Vanstippen - was planned for X Games but sprained his thumb and is out of Best Trick :(

But what about guys like:

David Rinaldo? Gold Medallist with some of the most innovative tricks
Luc Ackermann? Gold Medallist also! Neither of these 2 Euro riders coming back. Is it not worth it?
