On Thursday, June 4, you can head downtown to check out the kick off to X Games Austin for the Moto X Step Up competition. This event will take place right in front of the Texas State Capitol at 11th and Congress Streets and will be open to the public. You can get up-close viewing access with a reserved spot for $20 so you don’t miss any of the action. In a finals-only format, six riders line up 30 feet from a near vertical dirt wall to attempt to clear the bar at each height. After each round, the bar is raised and the competition is repeated until a winner is determined. The downtown venue opens at 5 p.m., the ticketed section opens at 7 p.m., and the festivities begin at 7:15 p.m.
