X Games BMX Park gold medalist and hometown hero Chase Hawk tonight revealed the X Games Austin 2015 event dates, ticket on-sale date and two new sport discipline additions at the Austin Trail of Lights at Zilker Park. After a successful debut in Austin this past June, the four-day premier action sports and youth culture event experience will return to Circuit of The Americas June 4-7.

In addition, Hawk revealed that the two new sport disciplines of Moto X QuarterPipe and Big Air Doubles will be added to the 2015 event. Moto X QuarterPipe will feature freestyle riders each attempting a trick off a single Quarterpipe feature. Big Air Doubles will combine the excitement of the Skateboard and BMX Big Air disciplines by pairing a BMX and Skateboard athlete together for a team competition.

“I’m looking forward to the opportunity of defending my gold medal at X Games Austin next year, and am excited to compete in front of my hometown crowd,” said Hawk. “My family and I have attended the Trail of Lights ever since I was a kid. It’s really an amazing opportunity to be here on behalf of X Games Austin at a place that meant so much to us growing up.”
