X-Games had slopestyle mountain bike event introduced and debut in X-Games Munich 2013. The sport has not been able to follow up with X-Games since despite its popularity and growth over the years. This is partially due to the poorly executed event which had a poorly designed course. Along with bad wind conditions and constant rain throughout the weekend. Due to the conditions and sketchy course many riders chose not to ride and in the finals only consisted of 6 riders. Athlete Martin Soderstrom would be the only European rider who dropped on his run he later quoted saying “I would say that we pretty much had all the bad luck we could get for our first X-games with the rain and wind and a course that was really hard to trick.”
