Andy Buckworth and Jamie Bestwick, BMX Icons & X Games Gold Medalists – UNLEASHED Podcast E505

Tune in for a special episode recorded at the inaugural X Games Salt Lake City. UNLEASHED Hosts Danny Kass and Brittney Palmer interview BMX trailblazers Andy Buckworth and Jamie Bestwick on the sports and pop culture podcast. Recorded at the Utah State Fairpark and Event Center, the episode gets the inside perspective from Buckworth and Bestwick, and includes a special tribute to the memory of action sports icon and podcast host, the late Luke “The Dingo” Trembath, honoring his unforgettable energy and lasting impact on the community at X Games Salt Lake City.

Hailing from Nottingham, United Kingdom, Bestwick, who currently resides in State College, Pennsylvania, is considered the undisputed king of BMX vert and won his first X Games gold medal in 2000. During a dominant run that spanned 14 gold medals, Bestwick set the record for most consecutive X Games victories and today coaches the next generation of Olympic athletes. Joining him on the episode, Australia’s Buckworth has pushed the progression of the sport by landing death-defying tricks such as the world’s first double frontflip no-hander and no-handed double backflip. Still active on the circuit, Buckworth has two X Games medals to his name, gold and bronze. Get the inside scoop on the state of BMX freestyle competition from these two certified icons, only on UNLEASHED!
