States represented 11 State with the most California: 22 athletes Countries represented 10 Country with the most USA (43) athletes Countries to compete in 55 X Games history Number of countries to 39 medal at XG (summer and winter disciplines) XG 2021 STATS BY DISCIPLINE KEY SKB STATS QUEEN LETICIA --Leticia Bufoni is tied with Elissa Steamer for most gold in Women’s SKB Street (4) history. It’s a record that has stood since 2008, but Bufoni is favored to claim it for herself at XG 2021. The 28-year-old Brazilian has 11 medals overall. A 12th medal would tie her with Lindsey Jacobellis for third-most X Games medals by a woman. GO GO GAVIN! --Watch for 14-year-old Gavin Bottger in Men’s SKB Park. The CA|TF regular could become the first rookie in 10 years to win in the discipline. And if he does, he’d be the youngest Park champ since Ryan Sheckler in 2003 (13 yr. 7 mos.) NEW WOMEN’S PARK CHAMP -- There have been 5 unique gold medalists from the 6 X Games Women's SKB Park contests at X Games. It's about to be 6 from 7 because the field is free of previous winners. REACH FOR THE SKY --Sky Brown, who turned 13 on July 7, is the favorite. A win would make her the second-youngest gold medalist in X Games history. She misses the title for absolute youngest by just over one week. Brighton Zeuner nabbed that record 1 day after her 13th birthday with her SKB Park gold at XG Minneapolis 2017. P-ROD RETURNS --Four-time SKB Street gold medalist Paul Rodriguez is back in action at X Games for the first time since Austin 2015. He's one of the best ever to compete in this discipline, and the 36- year-old is a legit skateboard legend. With 4 gold, 3 silver, 1 bronze (8 total), P-Rod is 2nd behind Nyjah Huston for both most SKB Street gold (Nyjah has 10) and most SKB Street medals (Nyjah has 16). JIMMY THREE TIMES? XG Minneapolis 2018 & 2019 Skateboard Vert gold medalist Jimmy Wilkins is favored to earn his third straight title. The discipline dates all the way back to 1995, but it would be just the third time X Games has seen a Skateboard Vert threepeat. Bucky Lasek won 4 straight in 2013 and Pierre-Luc Gagnon won 3 from 2008-2010. PLUCKY BUCKY --Bucky Lasek is 48 yrs. 7 mos. of age. He finished 15th in SKB Vert at Minneapolis 2019. It’s a longshot, but if he can win either Vert or Vert Best Trick, he’ll become the oldest male gold medalist at an X Games summer event. That record was set by Jeff Ward, who was 47 yrs. 1 mth. when he won 2008 SuperMoto gold. Lasek, however, hasn’t earned a SKB medal at all since his unprecedented Bucky slam in 2013, when he won 4 straight Vert gold. --Additionally, 1 medal will tie Lasek with Pierre-Luc Gagnon for 5th on the all-time X Games medal count (21). KEY BMX STATS BMX TRIPLE WATCH --Four riders are competing in at least three BMX disciplines at XG 2021 (Pat Casey is competing in 4!). Only 3 riders in history have earned 3 BMX medals at a single X Games. Chad Kagy was the last rider to do it (2006). Dave Mirra and Dennis McCoy were the others (1998; when Mirra took 3 gold). --Kevin Peraza will become the first BMX rider to compete in this combination of BMX disciplines: Dirt, Park, Street. Ben Wallace will complete in Dirt, Park and Dirt Best Trick, Jaie Toohey is in Dirt, Dirt Best Trick and Park Best Trick --Pat Casey is in Dirt, Dirt Best Trick, Park and Park Best Trick (everything happening at his own house, in other words) but he’s also competing in MTX 110s! This will be the first time a BMX athlete crosses over to Moto X. No athlete ever has earned 4 medals at a single X Games event. Can Casey earn 5? (110s is gold only). “NO ONE OVER 25” IN JEOPARDY? --Get this: In the complete history of BMX Dirt at X Games (20 contests) every single gold medalist has been 25 years of age or younger. Only 2 athletes could keep this streak alive in 2021. Colton Walker, now 24, won Dirt at X Games Minneapolis 2017. Bryce Tryon, a 20-year-old rookie, is the other rider who could keep this streak alive. Good luck, kid. WELCOME BACK, CROATIA! --Marin Rantes will become the first Croatian athlete at X Games since Irena Palosek competed in Speed Climbing in 1995! If Rantes medals in either BMX Park or Park Best Trick, he will raise the total number of unique medalist countries in X Games history to 40. GARRETT THE GOAT? --With Real BMX 2020 gold, Garrett Reynolds earned his 13th X Games title. An XG 2021 victory would bring him even with Dave Mirra, Jamie Bestwick and Bob Burnquist for second- most X Games gold (14 each), just one behind Shaun White's 8-year-old record of 15. Reynolds has won 11 of the 14 gold medals awarded in BMX Street history at XG. GARRETT’S MANY CHALLENGERS --Wow. Of the 14 BMX Street contests held in X Games history, 12 have featured unique silver medalists! Our favorite to add to this list would be Street first-timer Kevin Peraza. KEY MOTO X STATS LUCKY 7 FOR JACKO? -- Jackson Strong has a perfect 8 medals from 8 Best Trick starts (6 gold, 2 silver). The Aussie is a good bet to tie Travis Pastrana and Ronnie Renner for most gold medals in a single Moto X discipline in 2021 (7). Strong won the most recent XG MTX Best Trick contest, taking gold at Norway 2019 with a no- handed frontflip. AUSSIES ONLY --Australians have won 8 of the past 10 Moto X Best Trick gold medals. They also have swept the Best Trick podium 3 times since 2011. --In Freestyle, they’ve earned 12 of the past 15 medals awarded and swept the podium at X Games Minneapolis 2019, the most recent XG Freestyle contest. Five of the 8 riders on the 2021 invite list are from Australia. WHAT NEXT FOR RINALDO? --David Rinaldo was a little-known journeyman entering X Games Minneapolis 2019…and then he landed the world’s first backflip body varial for Best Trick gold. The Frenchman says he’s working on something new for XG 2021, but something old would do: Judges say it’s hard to imagine anyone beating another flip varial. 40 AND UP CLUB --It’s lonely at the top. Corey Creed is the only rider to break the 40-ft. mark in MTX QuarterPipe High Air. His max height of 40-ft. 8-in. at X Games Norway 2019 earned him a second straight gold in the discipline. At XG 2021, QuarterPipe High Air will be contested outdoors for the first time.

Media Information One Subaru Drive Camden, NJ 08103 Main Number: 856-488-8500 CONTACT: Dominick Infante (856) 488-8615 [email protected] SUBARU RALLY TEAM USA DRIVERS DAVID HIGGINS AND DAVE MIRRA TO COMPETE AT SUMMER X GAMES 17 Cherry Hill, N.J., Jul 28, 2011 - Subaru of America, Inc. Subaru Rally Team USA drivers David Higgins and Dave Mirra head to Los Angeles this week to compete in Summer X Games 17. Higgins and Mirra look to add to the team’s successes at X Games competing in the Rally Car and Rallycross events July 30th and 31st respectively. Each will drive a 2011 Subaru Impreza WRX STI modified for Rallycross with an excess of 550 horsepower Boxer engine and Symmetrical All Wheel Drive.

David is competing in his first X Games. “I have heard so much about the X Games and have watched from home many times so I’m really looking forward to being a part of it,” said Higgins. “There really is nothing like it in the world and to be racing on the streets of Los Angeles should be spectacular for the drivers and the fans.” David Higgins, a native of the Isle of Man, got his first taste of motorsport when he was only eight years old and has enjoyed success ever since.

  • Rally America
    Rally America http://www.rally-america.com/news/497/ Travis Pastrana wins New England Forest Rally Saturday, July 18, 2009 Subaru Rally Team USA's Travis Pastrana and co-driver Christian Edstrom sailed to their fourth win of the your email... season at the New England Forest Rally Saturday, to further extend their lead in the national championship. Pastrana entered Round 6 of the Rally America championship with a 21-point lead over his closest challenger, and said his strategy from the start was to avoid taking unnecessary risks and get his car to the finish in one piece. "It's hard to know you've got that little more speed in reserve and not use it, but it's that little more that can get you," he said. "We weren't the fastest here this weekend, but I'll take the win however I can get it." Ken Block and co-driver Alex Gelsomino set a blazing pace at the start, but lost more than 20 seconds to a spin early Saturday afternoon, then had a flat tire. They were unable to make up for lost time in the final stages of the day and finished in second-place overall. "It's extremely frustrating," said Block at the finish. "I put myself in the right position to win and it didn't work out for us." Even so, the result moves Block into second place in the championship, behind teammate Pastrana. Canadians Antoine L'Estage and co-driver Nathalie Richard were also in the running for a win early in this event, but they lost time to a power steering failure in their Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X Saturday afternoon and finished in third.
