The X Games Club São Paulo team with their skateboards and BMX bikes

X Games Club São Paulo · Season One · 2026

Progression beyond performance

A shared environment where people and disciplines stand on their own, and where growth accelerates through connection, exchange, and an ongoing loop of inspiration across generations.

Our first season ↓

Who we are · Quem somos

Skateboarding and action sports have never been about flags or borders.

It has always been about individuals, influence, inspiration, and shared progression. You root for people who move you, not because of where they are from, but because of how they show up and what they bring to the session.

X Games Club São Paulo is one of the founding teams of the X Games League. It is inspired by where its General Manager comes from, but it is not led by nationality. Athletes may come from anywhere. Fans may come from anywhere. What connects them is not geography, but mindset.

Atletas podem vir de qualquer lugar. Fãs podem vir de qualquer lugar.

“This culture has never been about where you are from. It is about who you are, how you show up, how you inspire others, and what you bring to the session.”

Bob Burnquist · General Manager

São Paulo

The scale, the grit, the creativity.

“São Paulo shaped how I skateboard and how I see the world. The scale, the grit, the creativity, the work ethic, the contradictions, the closeness to nature and chaos at the same time. That spirit lives in this club.”

“I grew up in São Paulo watching planes take off from far away and dreaming about a world I had only seen through magazines and skate videos.” Today, access is different. XC São Paulo exists to honor that arc: it respects where this culture came from, reflects where it is now, and creates space for new dreamers watching from anywhere in the world.

Blue anchors the club identity. Nature remains nature.

Our first season

On March 12 we drafted a roster: ten skate and BMX athletes, men and women. Somewhere between Sacramento and New Orleans it became a family.

Stop one · Sacramento

The first time we competed as a club.

Team room, gear day, the team dinner. Sacramento started the rituals.

Stop two · Chiba

One week later, nine time zones away.

Tokyo together. The week the friendship between skate and BMX stopped being a detail and became the story of the club.

A semana em que a amizade entre skate e BMX virou a história do clube.

Stop three · New Orleans

When vert didn't go Gui's way, Ryan went to him and told him to be proud of who he is.

A BMX rider picking up a skater, on the biggest weekend of the year. Nobody scripted it. That is XC São Paulo, visible from anywhere.

Day one was heavy. Day two, Luigi Cini stood on two podiums, one of them his first X Games medal. The distance between those days is what a club is for.

Cash For Tricks · What we do

Open course. Land the trick, take the cash.

No stage, no distance between those who ride and those who watch. The local scene at the center, as it should be.
