CORONA, Calif., July 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- On July 12th, Monster Energy will host an epic two-hour livestream on Twitch featuring four top BMX riders and stars of the X Games as they pay tribute to the late Dave Mirra. Monster athletes Andy Buckworth, Kevin Peraza, Jeremy Malott, and Ben Wallace, along with pro gamer Tanner "Rogue" Trebb, will share stories and compete playing Mirra's classic video game Freestyle BMX 2. The BMX pros will also face off in a real-life game of BIKE (think HORSE in basketball) and attempt to match and outdo each other's tricks — and a few more surprises besides.

The stream will be anchored by snowboard supremo and Monster Unleashed podcast host Luke "the Dingo" Trembath. Fans can tune into http://www.twitch.tv/MonsterEnergy for more information and to watch the action unfold live.
