The final day of X Games Chiba 2022 Presented by Yogibo featured Men’s Skateboard Park, Women’s Skateboard Street and Monster Energy Men’s Street in front of a packed house. Fans can relive all the action from the inaugural X Games Chiba event via two hours of event recap coverage on ABC as part of the World of X Games series on May 14 and 21 from 2 – 3 p.m. ET.
