Sam Bosworth 15 was looking for back to back Am Vert X Games gold medals at this years summer X Games in LA . He looked odds on to pull it off dominating the contest until the final runs . Despite a 6 week lay off due to a broken foot Sam managed to put together some strong runs including Judo 540’s and Christ Air 540’s.
He was pipped at the post by an incredible run from 19 year old Brazilian Italo Penarrubia which would have placed him high up in the pro final . Sam had to settle for silver but wasn’t too disappointed saying, ” I’m surprised how well I skated considering I haven’t really skated vert for six weeks .”
Congratulations Sam! Pro devision next year .
