Coming October 21 - 22, X Games will host a star-studded Vert Jam at the festival grounds of When We Were Young, the sold out pop-punk music festival in Las Vegas. The X Games Vert Jam will feature daily skateboard Vert demos, where fans can watch the world’s best skaters ride between musical performances.

Some skaters confirmed to attend include 10-year old superstar Reese Nelson, 20-time X Games medalist Bucky Lasek, seven-time X Games Vert gold medalist Jimmy Wilkins and more.
