Pedro Barros is just another X Games athlete currently proving we are currently living in the golden age of extreme sports.
Just as Jamie Bestwick continued his dominance earlier this weekend, so did Barros Saturday night in Austin, accomplishing what no other skateboarder ever has, including Tony Hawk — winning at least seven consecutive gold or silver medals in the same discipline.
The Brazilian stud won gold in Skateboard Park with a score of 90.66, beating out X Games Munich 2013 champion Curren Caples (did not medal), Atlanta native Grant Taylor (silver) and Aaron Homoki (bronze).
Barros said afterwards, “It’s amazing to skate with all these dudes… They’re all my friends and they all rip it up. It kind of felt like a session in probably one of the most hot days I’ve ever skated in my life, but it was amazing.”
