Here's how the Monster Energy team performed at X Games Osaka 2025:

The team's medal run started on Saturday in the highly anticipated Women's Skateboard Vert competition. Defending gold medalist Arisa Trew raised the bar with a stacked run featuring two 540 variations and a switch McTwist for 87.66 points and the gold medal. And Trew had more winning to do at X Games Osaka! She was joined on the podium by 18-year-old Monster Army rider Asahi Kaihara from Osaka, Japan, who claimed the silver medal in front of a hometown crowd on her final attempt. Kaihara now owns three X Games medals (one silver, two bronze).

Continuing the podium spots, the BMX Park final saw multiple BMX Park World Champion Anthony Jeanjean from Béziers, France, finally claim his first X Games medal. Putting it all on the line during his final run, the Frenchman exploded on the course with transfers and technical tricks to earn 82.00 points and the bronze medal.

Also rising to the podium, Tom Schaar took bronze in the Men's Skateboard Vert event. Putting together a difficult run peppered with fakie 720 tailgrab and massive kickflip body varial McTwist, Schaar took home third place with 83.00 points and had more up his sleeve for Osaka.

The team earned the next victory in the Dave Mirra BMX Park Best Trick event. Rising above the competition, Ryan Williams landed a technical frontflip flair tailwhip on the quarter pipe for his second gold medal in the discipline. Williams now owns 11 X Games medals (nine gold and two silver) and has won X Games gold in four different disciplines. Also claiming a medal for the team, 30-year-old Kevin Peraza from Tucson, Arizona, clinched bronze with a flair downwhip to fakie over the box. Peraza now owns twelve X Games medals (seven gold, three silver, two bronze).

Ending the first day of X Games Osaka 2025 on a high note, the Moto X Best Trick final concluded with two podium spots for the team. In a major upset, 24-year-old Ben Richards from Wagga Wagga, Australia, dropped in as the youngest competitor and clinched silver as his first career X Games medal. The trick that did it? Richards stomped an ultra-rare handlebar hop variation known as Special Flip – performing a 360 body varial in his seat while in the air – for 91.00 points and second place.

Richards was joined on the podium by the most decorated rider in Moto X Best Trick, 33-year-old Jackson Strong from Lockhart, Australia. Strong finessed a technical frontflip seat grab Indy for 90.00 points and the bronze medal. Strong now owns 18 X Games medals (eight gold, six silver, and four bronze).

The second day of X Games Osaka started with the highly competitive BMX Street final. Rising to the occasion, 29-year-old Jordan Godwin from Cardiff, Wales, covered the entire park with technical tricks such as nollie to feeble grind and peg grind to hardway 360 for 87.66 points and the bronze medal. Godwin now owns two X Games medals (one silver and one bronze).

Keeping the focus on technical bike tricks, the BMX Flatland event saw 36-year-old Monster Energy team rider Moto Sasaki from Chiba, Japan, claim the silver medal. Putting together a flawless combo while balancing on his front wheel, Sasaki earned his second X Games medal despite battling a harsh arm injury. Sasaki now owns 2 X Games medals (one silver and one bronze).

The medal run continued in the Men's Skateboard Vert Best Trick final, where hometown hero Moto Shibata unveiled a technical trick to raise the roof: A front foot impossible lien 540 brought the crowd to its feet and earned Shibata the silver medal. Shibata now owns 10 X Games medals (one gold, eight silver, and one bronze).

The Osaka crowd witnessed action sports history in the Women's Skateboard Park final, where defending gold medalist Arisa Trew had her eyes on setting a new record: The 15-year-old skateboard phenomenon secured the victory with a massive score of 93.33 points by landing moves such as kickflip Indy, switch backside air, and switch McTwist. And just like that, Trew set the new record for most X Games gold in women's skateboarding at seven gold. She also tied the record set by BMXer Dave Mirra for claiming gold in two disciplines at three consecutive X Games. Keep an eye out next week at X Games Salt Lake City when Trew has the next chance at writing history!

Ending the fourth X Games in Japan with a banger, Tom Schaar dropped into the Men's Skateboard Park contest as the defending gold medalist. Rising above the rest of the field, Schaar attacked the park with burly moves including frontside stalefish 360 the box and backside 540 melon for 90.33 points, leading the next competitor by more than 5 points! Schaar now owns 16 X Games medals (four gold, four silver, and eight bronze).
