As with any sport, there will always be athletes who have managed to stand out in the last few decades. Some top athletes that have competed in past X Games include Tony Hawk, Bob Burnquist, Bucky Lasek, and Andy Macdonald in skateboarding events.
For BMX riders, Dave Mirra and Mat Hoffman have become legends of the competition. And finally, for motocross, riders like Travis Pastrana and Brian Deegan have stood out over the years.
