PLG wins the Silver Medal in men’s skateboard Vert finals. PLG coming off Gold’s the last three years at Summer X Games Vert was looking for the big four peat.
PLG had a solid score of a 91 until Shaun White took his last run knocking PLG out of his four peat. PLG’s Silver will be added to his other 16 X Games medals.

Women’s Skateboard Vert
Lyn-Z Adams Hawkins Take home the Silver Medal. Lyn-Z is one of the worlds best Women’s Vert skater and if she would have landed her Mctwist, she not only would have won but also be the first Girl to land a Mctwist in a contest run.
Moto X Best Whip
Electric’s young Australian Jarryd McNeil took home a Silver Medal doing some of the best turn downs I have ever witnessed in Best Whip. Jarryd pretty much through his bike around like it was a toy. Stay tuned for this young Moto star as we will be seeing more and more of him.
Shouts go out to all the Electric Athletes who competed in Summer X Games 16.

APRIL 26, 2010 | ELECTRIC’S LIBOR PODMOL TAKES 1ST | BASEL, SWITZERLAND
Electric’s Libor Podmol has taken over the points lead of the FIM IFMXF World Championship after a solid showing in Basel Switzerland on the weekend.
Libor dominated day 1 putting together a flawless run in the final to win in front of Rob Adelberg. The second night Libor was very unlucky not to win as in the final he changed his run from the night before instead of doing a undeflip indy he performed a world first double nac underflip but to his disappointment the judges did not see it and thought he had missed going for underflip indy and scored him down leaving him in 3rd for the night.
“I am very happy to leave Basel with points lead with Rob it is going to be a fight to the last round for world championship, thanks to all my sponsors who are behind me, I am working hard and looking forward to the rest of the year” said Libor.
From Basel Libor is headed to Egypt for the second round of Red Bull X Fighters then directly after egypt he will fly to Turkey for round 4 of the World Championship.
Libor would like to thank his sponsors
