The Summer X Games return to Minneapolis for the third successive year for another festival of extreme sport action.

The world's best in motocross, skateboarding and BMX will again be descending on the United States city for the event, due to take place from tomorrow until Sunday (August 4). 

Iconic moments in extreme sports have occurred almost every year at the Games, and fans will be excited to see who can emulate the likes of skateboarder Mitchie Brusco, who in 2018 landed his second ever 1080 to earn his first X Games gold medal.

The American returns this year, as does Britain's 13-time BMX gold medal winner Jamie Bestwick and Australia's Jackson Strong, who will be looking to emulate his extraordinary achievements from three years ago in Austin.
