Los Angeles, CA – Cult riders Dakota Roche and Chase Hawk arrived at X Games 17 ready to ride. Roche and Hawk competed in the BMX Freestyle Street and BMX Freestyle Park disciplines, taking home the rights to third and fourth place, respectively.
Dakota Roche’s riding earned him his second X Games medal, having taken home the first earlier this year at X Games Asia. During his first run in the final heat, Roche had a hard fall that led him to land chest-first on the corner of a concrete ledge and knocked him to the ground for an anxious few moments. Friends, family, and spectators could not have been more excited to see Roche resume his place in the line-up and continue to showcase progressive tricks with signature laid-back style.
"It is amazing to be able to ride and compete with the best and have all my family and friends watching,” says Roche. “I grew up in Huntington Beach, so this has a good hometown feeling. Coming back from that crash and placing was huge for me. I couldn’t be more stoked."
Chase Hawk competed in a handful of highly competitive heats before qualifying for BMX Freestyle Park finals, but Hawk made himself a strong contender early on with huge transfers and a stylish bag of tricks that he used to tackle each element of the diverse course.
Intense afternoon sun introduced itself as a factor during round one elimination on Saturday, and competitors began trading off ‘easy’ runs with the real ones in order to conserve energy. At the end of the day, it was riders Dhers, Enarson, and Cranmer that won the medals, with Hawk coming in at 4th.
“I’m so excited for Dakota and Chase. They put everything they had into riding this week and they absolutely killed it. They really made the Cult Crew proud.” says Robbie Morales, founder of Cult.
This week’s Island Wednesday is a cover, freestyle or remix contest over the instrumentals for either of Shwayze & Cisco’s singles, “You Could Be My Girl” or “Island In The Sun”. Shwayze & Cisco are stoked because this contest allows you guys to show them your musical talent. They know all the entries will be killer!

Art Helps: Japan was a fundraiser created as a way for our widespread community of art lovers and artists to lend ongoing support to the many victims dealing with the profound damage caused by the recent earthquake. The fundraiser was organized by Marin Horikawa, a design director at JDK, and comprised a two-week-long online auction as well as a live auction.
On Friday, June 24th, JDK Design hosted the live auction at their Burlington, VT café, Maglianero. The turnout was overwhelming, and the café filled up with people who were excited to check out the diverse collection of art before bidding. Professional auctioneers took bids and kept the audience involved and entertained. The overall enthusiastic vibe of the event confirmed Marin Horikawa’s idea that “art, and people willing to extend a hand, can help.”
Art Helps: Japan raised nearly $8,000.00— 100% of which was donated directly to the Japanese Red Cross. Dilation Films was there to capture everything. Watch the video above to see some highlights of the night and check out our previous post for photos and more information.

Burlington, VT— The Last Stand (Again) tournament this past weekend was a blast for all involved. BTV Bike Polo Crew raised $1,100.00 to support the relocation of their waterfront rink.
