LOS ANGELES—In one of few surprise finishes at X Games 12, Kevin Robinson won the inaugural BMX Big Air event. Fellow Woodward rider and Robinson's best friend Chad Kagy had logged the most pre-X practice time on the ramp and was the favorite for gold headed into the final event Sunday evening. Kagy, instead, went home with silver. Allan Cooke took bronze.

The gold was the second for Robinson, wh o also won Friday night's BMX Vert Best Trick competition by landing the sport's first double flair. Kagy won BMX Vert that same night and took silver in Best Trick.

Robinson won the BMX Big Air event with a backflip tuck no-hander to no-handed flair.

"I'm psyched," Robinson said after his medal-winning run. "That's the biggest no-handed flair I've ever done in my life. I'm just glad I landed rubber-side down."

Kagy took silver with a flip double whip to double tailwhip, a crowd favorite. "That was an amazing competition and all we had was two days practice," said Kagy. "Hopefully soon we'll have one of these mega ramps to ride on a regular basis. That will make next year's competition 10 times as crazy."

Cooke took bronze with a flip X-up to X-up.

"Yesterday was my first day on the ramp, and I have more potential than I showed today," said Cooke. "Hopefully ESPN will stick with Big Air and I get invited back next year."

Morgan Wade, the only other rider in the event, landed a 360 to air in the competition.
