#XGamesChiba 2024 was definitely one for the books 📚 We were stoked to return to Chiba, Japan for the third consecutive year for X Games Chiba 2024 at the Makuhari Messe stadium on September 20-22. There were 11 disciplines across skateboard, BMX and Moto X all streamed live internationally on the XG YouTube and Twitch. There were some massive moments that happened in Japan this year. We saw Gui Khury land the world’s first-in-competition kickflip body varial 900 to win his third consecutive Skateboard Vert Best Trick gold. Arisa Trew won gold in Women’s Skateboard Park, making her the first athlete in #XGames history to ever win 5 gold medals all before the age of 15. And Garrett Reynolds broke the record for most X Games gold medals in history with his win in BMX Street, giving him a total of 16 X Games gold medals. Not only were there big things happening on the courses, but also some major accomplishments happening behind the scenes. 30M impressions across social platforms (+33% YOY) 29M video views across social platforms (+130% YOY) 135K livestream views (+4% YOY) Thank you to all the athletes, staff, Chiba and especially our fans for another successful event!

“I think I’m even more happy than my Olympic gold to be honest…” - Arisa Trew Arisa Trew made history at #XGamesChiba 2024 by becoming the first athlete to win five #XGames gold medals before the age of 15. Trew came through for her third consecutive Women’s Skateboard Park win, following her X Games California and #XGamesVentura gold medals. But not without some suspense as Arisa claimed victory with her final run - the very last run of the entire contest - for a walkoff gold. Trew was joined on the podium by Sky Brown and Heili Sirvio, who won silver and bronze respectively. Chiba 2024 was Sky’s first X Games appearance in Japan and Heili’s first ever X Games event.

Gui won his first ever X Games gold medal in the discipline. It was also his 11th total X Games medal, the most by a teenager in X Games history, and he’s still just 15!
