X Games events

* What happened Sunday: Danny Way, 32, won his third consecutive big-air gold medal at the Home Depot Center after nailing consecutive back flips over the 50-foot gap and following with massive Christ airs on the 27-foot quarterpipe. They were the first successful back flips ever completed in skateboarding at the X Games. Way scored 93.75 on his first back flip but bettered that with a 95.00 after straightening his legs while upside down on his second back flip. Jake Brown scored 93.00 on his third attempt, pulling off a 360 over the crevice then nailing a 540-degree spin on the quarterpipe, to finish second. Bob Burnquist was third when he scored a 91.25, landing a 360 and then pulling off a kick flip on the quarterpipe, flipping the board over with his hands at the apex of the aerial and then re-gripping on the way down.

* What happened Sunday: Kevin Robinson landed a near-perfect jump in the inaugural big-air competition to win his second gold medal of these games. Robinson posted his 95.00 on the mega-ramp at the Home Depot Center when he landed a no-handed back flip over the 50-foot gap to a no-handed flair -- a back flip with a 180-degree twist -- off the 28-foot quarterpipe. Chad Kagy scored a 93.66 while attempting the more difficult back flip double-tailwhip.

* What happened Sunday: Jeff Ward turned in a popular victory as the former motocross champion and Indy car racer won in his first X Games appearance in supermoto. Ward held off hard-charging Mark Burkhart over the final four laps to win by 0.572 of a second after 35 laps around the snaking 1.047-mile track at the Home Depot Center. Last year’s winner, Doug Henry, was third. Travis Pastrana scored 94.20 on his first freestyle run, nearly three points higher than second-place rider Adam Jones’ 91.40, and won his third gold medal at the Home Depot Center. With his right knee suffering after the supermoto finals and having reinjured it when he banged it on a table, popping his kneecap out of place, Pastrana didn’t take a second run, but he didn’t need to. Mike Mason finished third with a first-run score of 90.00.
