Last year during our 25 Years of X Games celebration, Selema "Sal" Masekela sat down for a stellar hour-plus interview that was used in part for the 25 Years of X Games show on ESPN. Selema's start at X Games was as a play-by-play and sideline reporter, but that quickly evolved into a position as host of X Games. And Selema will be the first to admit: he thought the Extreme Games would not last. But eventually, he ran with it and became the face of X Games for 13 years. And because he's such a masterful storyteller, we decided to present his full uncut interview session from last year. This is Selema Uncut. --- X Games is your premier destination for all things action sports, music, lifestyle and everything in between.

Flashback to April 20, 2013. X Games has gone global and after winter stops in Aspen and Tignes, we dipped down to Brazil for X Games Foz do Iguaçu 2013. On day three, Australian rider Kyle Baldock doubled up in Brazil, following up his BMX Park win with a gold medal in BMX Dirt, beating out Brandon Dosch and Ryan Nyquist. Nyquist, the perennial favorite, led after the first of four runs after dropping in from the takeoff lip with a run that included a massive 720 barspin. Baldock overtook him in the second run with a corked 720, tailwhip to barspin, x-up, and tailwhip windshield wiper 360. He held on to his lead through the next two runs before matching his own score of 92.00 in the final run with a double tailwhip backflip, barspin tuck no-hander, x-up and no-handed front flip. Finishing in the silver medal spot behind Baldock was Michigan BMX Dirt rider Brandon Dosch. Dosch, who previously competed in BMX Park competition at past X Games, landed an opposite 720 over the first set, to double tailwhip over the second set, to a corked 720 spun in his normal direction over the last set. Dosch scored 91.00, edging Nyquist into the bronze-medal position. If you were there, this was one BMX Dirt comp to remember, and in case you missed it, enjoy this trip down memory lane! --- X Games is your premier destination for all things action sports, music, lifestyle and everything in between.

In 2006, X Games tried a new spin on surf competitions: East Coast vs. West Coast. Picking athletes from both sides of the U.S., X Games landed in Puerto Escondido, Mexico for a head-to-head match up that featured some of the world’s best surfers, including Tom Curren, Rob Machado, Dane Reynolds for the West Coast, plus Shea and Cory Lopez for the East Coast. Hosted by Selema Masekela and run a month before the remainder of competitions in Los Angeles, surfing at the X Games kicked off a stacked summer of competitions in 2006. --- X Games is your premier destination for all things action sports, music, lifestyle and everything in between.
