X GAMES COME TO SALT LAKE CITY

Salt Lake City hosted the second Summer X Games of 2025 at the Utah State Fairpark from June 27-29. This is the first time the event has been in Salt Lake City.

The X Games, originally called the “Extreme Games,” began as a yearly event showcasing top athletes in “extreme” sports. It started with only summer sports in 1995 and added winter sports in 2002. However, in the early 2010s, multiple summer events began to occur throughout the year.

The games began on June 27, with the first competition being the Women’s Skateboard Park. Heili Sirviö, a 14-year-old from Finland, took the gold with her best score of 86.00.

In the BMX Street competition, Jordan Godwin of the United Kingdom took gold with a score of 89.33, while Garrett Reynolds of New Jersey took silver with a score of 87.33. He now holds the record for most X Games medals out of any BMX athlete.

The next event, BMX Dirt, was postponed until June 28 due to winds, so fans had to wait until the Men’s Skateboard Vert. In the vert, Brazil’s Gui Khury, just 16 years old,

scored 91.33, winning his eighth X Games gold medal, and 14th total, becoming the most decorated teenager in X Games history. Meanwhile, Japan’s Ema Kawakami, only 10 years old, won bronze with a score of 86.33, becoming the youngest male medalist in X Games History.

The final competition of the night was Moto X Best Trick. Rob Adelberg of Australia won gold with his final trick, a frontflip seatgrab stripper flip, which scored 95.00, giving Adelberg his 11th gold medal and 21st medal overall. Tom Richards, also of Australia, got silver in his first X Games, scoring 93.00, beating his older brother Benny Richards, who scored 89.66.

On June 28, the games started with Men’s BMX Park, where Justin Dowell of Virginia took gold with a score of 94.33.

In Men’s Skateboard Park, Gavin Bottger of California, took gold with 92.33.

In the Women’s Skateboard Vert, Mizuho Hasegawa of Japan took gold with 91.66, and Arisa Trew of Australia took silver with 90.00.

In Men’s Skateboard Street, Yuto Horigome of Japan took gold with 95.33.

In BMX Dirt, Australian Ryan Williams beat

out Brady Baker, from Salt Lake City, with a score of 94.33, compared to Baker’s 93.66.

Trew took gold in the Women’s Skateboard Vert Best Trick, winning her eighth X Games Gold Medal and ninth total X Games Medal.

In Moto X Best Whip, Belgium’s Julien Vanstippen won gold to end the second day of competition.

Finally, on June 29, Chloe Covell of Australia won gold in Women’s Skateboard Street Best Trick, while Filipe Mota of Brazil took gold in the men’s category.

Gui Khury won his second gold medal of the weekend with a gold in Men’s Skateboard Vert Best Trick.

Ryan Williams won another gold over the weekend in the BMX Dirt Best Trick Competition.

In the Moto X QuarterPipe High Air, Colby Raha of California won the gold with a height of 52 feet, 6 inches. Hannah Roberts of Indiana took the gold in the Women’s BMX Park.

Finally, in the last event of the weekend, Mexico’s Kevin Peraza got the gold in the Dave Mirra BMX Park Best Trick, named after Dave Mirra, who died in 2017 and holds the record for most gold medals in X Games BMX

history.

However, the games weren’t only about the competitions. The event featured music from Canadian electronic music DJ deadmau5 on Friday, and from American ska punk band Sublime on Saturday.

There were also countless activities for fans to enjoy, including a skating halfpipe and street course, a drift cart course, an RC car course, a drift scooter course, a mini moto course and a trampoline area. Sponsors such as the United States Army, Tech Deck, Beatbox, Monster Energy, No Cap sodapop and others gave away free merchandise.

RED BULL SOAPBOX RACE FLIES DOWN STATE STREET

Red Bull brought its famous Soapbox Race to Utah for the first time in its 25-year history, and the crowds showed up in full force.

In front of 50,000 fans, 48 non-motorized cars raced down State Street in Salt Lake City, hoping to post the best score in different categories determined by a panel of four judges.

The panel of judges included Red Bull Air Force athlete Mike Brewer, Red Bull Athlete

Natalia Grossman, comedian and actor Tyler Bender and the custom car designer duo

Dave Kindig and Kevin Schiele.

Racers were tasked with building the most creative theme. Entries included “Uncle Rico’s Van” from “Napoleon Dynamite,”

“A Platybus…? Perry the Platybus?!” from “Phineas and Ferb,” the “Patty Wagon” from “The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie” and “The Cat in the Hat Can Go Faster Than That” from “The Cat in the Hat.”

Drivers dressed up to match their theme.

Many were seen wearing full costumes, such

as a sumo suit or a Viking costume, while enduring temperatures in the high 90s.

Racers got in their cars and raced down State Street, avoiding obstacles and hoping to land the many jumps. However, many cars crashed before reaching the finish line.

Ultimately, those who built the most sturdy cars, made it down the course and reached top speeds would reach the podium.

“The Desert Rats” finished with the top score, followed by “The Billy Groats” and “The Seussual Suspects” in second and third place.

Meanwhile, the fans had to endure their

own challenges throughout the day. The weather was hot and there was little space to move around during the races. Fans crowded the streets, sidewalks, hills and even rooftops to watch the race.

FORMER WILDCAT

WINS NBA CHAMPIONSHIP

The Oklahoma City Thunder capped off a historic NBA season on June 22 with the team’s very first championship. Dillon Jones became the first player from Weber State University and the Big Sky Conference to win an NBA Championship.

Jones was drafted 26th in the 2024 NBA Draft by the Washington Wizards but was traded to the Oklahoma City Thunder on draft night.

Jones played in 54 regular-season games, accumulating an average of 10.2 minutes per game. He shot 38.3% from the field and 25.4% from 3-point range. He averaged 2.5

points per game with 1.1 assists and 0.3 steals. During the postseason, he played in 10 games while playing just 4.6 minutes per game.

After the Thunder defeated the Memphis Grizzlies, Denver Nuggets and Minnesota Timberwolves, they took on the Indiana Pacers, the Eastern Conference champions, in the finals. Jones became the second Big Sky player to compete in the NBA Finals, joining Chris Childs, a Boise State University alum who played for the New York Knicks in the 1999 NBA Finals against the San Antonio Spurs.

The series went back and forth, with Indiana winning game one, Oklahoma City winning game two and Indiana winning

game three. The Thunder won back-to-back in games four and five, but the Pacers tied the series up in game six.

In game seven, the Pacers’ star point guard Tyrese Haliburton was having a great start to the game, but just seven minutes in, he tore his Achilles tendon, had to leave the game and will more than likely miss the entirety of the next season. The Pacers led at halftime, but a strong third quarter led the Thunder to win the series 4–3.

However, he is not the first former Wildcat to win an NBA Title; Dick Motta, who coached at Weber State from 1960-68, was the head coach of the 1978 NBA Champions, the Washington Bullets.

During Oklahoma City’s championship

parade, Oklahoma City Mayor David Holt declared that multiple summer days would be celebrated in honor of each Thunder player. Jones will be honored on July 14.

LIGHT UP THE NIGHT: THE “W” GETS A MAKEOVER

The “W” has been at the heart of some of the most beloved traditions at Weber State University since it was first created in 1937.

In nearly 90 years of existence, the “W” has been through a few different iterations. It has taken shape through a range of different methods, each one created for a way for students to show their school pride.

The first design of the “W” included it being lit on fire with kerosine and burlap sacks, which infamously created the “Flaming W” that is used today. The tradition continued up until 1957, when the burning “W” sparked a wildfire.

Later, the “W” was iterated into a “living W,” which had the letter made out of bushes and trees. However, it was made with the local

deer population’s favorite food, which led to its inability to be recognized. In 1979, the use of string lights and generators created the “W,” which was used until 2024.

“There have been multiple attempts to create a more permanent ‘W,’ especially in the past 10 years,” Jacob Cain, director of operations in Facilities Management, said. “It is just now, with the stakeholders, the student government, the higher-ups and the donors that it gained traction to actually do so.”

The new multimillion-dollar, 180-foottall “W” will reside permanently on the mountainside behind the university, the same place that all the other variations of the “W” have been built.

This iteration is the first of its kind with metal trim that makes up the physical structure of the “W” and has lights installed on the outside that will allow for it to be lit up. On the inside, there are over 200 solar panels mounted, which will redirect power back to the Dee Events Center.

“It’s been a process in the making for a while now, but it’s super cool because it has solar panels, so it’s energy-efficient,” Student Body President Mia Foster said. “It supports the sustainability programs on campus, which is important to us.”

Multiple environmental groups approached WSU about the project, considering the university’s commitment to sustainability.

“We talked to different environmental groups, who wanted to make sure that where it was going to be wouldn’t cause any problems for the animals or surrounding area,” Cain said.

Despite now having a permanent “W,” there are no plans to light it for more than homecoming, commencement, Founder’s Day and Wildcat home wins.

“The closest home is half a mile away. There’s a neighborhood up there, and we want to be good community members for them, especially because of the support they show us,” Cain said.

In the future, WSU departments may be able to request to have the “W” lit for specific occasions, now that there is a permanent symbol of it on the mountainside.

“At the moment, Weber wants to focus on student engagement events that we can

light it at,” Foster said. “We want to give back to the students and community, and show them the meaning of what it means to be a Wildcat.”

The “W” is expected to be finished by the end of the week. It will be expected to be lit during Homecoming week and will mark a new era for the Weber State tradition.

ILUMINA LA NOCHE: LA “W” RECIBE UN CAMBIO DE LOOK

La “W” ha estado en el corazón una de las tradiciones más queridas en la universidad de Weber State desde que fue creada en 1937.

En casi 90 años de existencia, la “W” ha pasado por diferentes variaciones. Ha tomado forma a través de distintos métodos, cada uno creado de maneras diferentes para que los estudiantes puedan mostrar el orgullo que sienten hacia la universidad.

El primer diseño de la “W” incluye prenderle fuego con queroseno y sacos de arpillera, que le dio origen a la famosa “W en llamas” que se usa hoy en día. La tradición continuó creciendo hasta 1957. Cuando la “ W en llamas” provocó un incendio forestal.

Más tarde, la “w” fue transformada en una “W viviente” hecha de arbustos y árboles. Sin embargo, estaba hecha por el alimento favorito de los venados, lo que provocó la incapacidad de que pudieran reconocerlo. En 1979, se usaron generadores y luces de cuerdas para crear “W” que se utilizó hasta el 2024.

“Han habido múltiples intentos por crear un “W” más permanente, especialmente en los últimos 10 años” dijo Jacob Cain, director de operaciones en facilities management. “Es ahora, con más partes interesadas, el gobierno estudiantil, los altos cargos y los donantes, donde ha ganado más fuerza para hacerlo realidad ”.

La nueva “W” multimillonaria de 180 pies de altura, que residirá permanentemente en la ladera de la montaña detrás de la universidad, el mismo lugar donde todas las variaciones de la “W” han sido construidas. Esta construcción es la primera en su clase con bordes metálicos, que conforman la

estructura física de la “W” y luces instaladas alrededor que permitirá iluminar. En su interior, hay por lo menos más de 200 paneles solares, donde la energía será redirigida al Dee Events Center.

“Ha sido un proceso de desarrollo largo, pero es genial porque tiene paneles solares , entonces es energía eficiente”, dijo la presidenta del cuerpo estudiantil Mia Foster. “apoya los programas de sustentabilidad en el campus, lo que es muy importante para nosotros”.

Varios grupos ecologistas se comunicaron con WSU acerca del proyecto, considerando a la universidad muy comprometida con la sostenibilidad.

“Hablamos con diferentes grupos ecologistas, que se querían asegurar que lo que estamos haciendo no va a afectar a ningún animal del área cercana “ dijo Cain.

A pesar de tener una “W’ permanente, no hay planes de iluminar más allá de eventos como la bienvenida, la graduación, el día de

los fundadores y las victorias locales de los Wildcats.

“La casa más cercana está a media milla de distancia. Hay un vecindario en esta Zona y queremos ser buenos miembros de la comunidad, especialmente por todo el apoyo que ellos nos han mostrado”

En el futuro, los departamentos de WSU podrán solicitar que se pueda encender la “W” para ocasiones específicas, ahora que existe un símbolo permanente en la ladera de la montaña.

“Por el ahora Weber quiere enfocarse en eventos de participación estudiantil donde podamos encenderla” dijo Foster, “Queremos retribuir a la comunidad, y mostrarles el verdadero significado de ser un Wildcat”

Se espera que la “W” esté terminada para el final de la semana. Se espera que esté encendida durante la semana de bienvenida, marcando una nueva etapa en la tradición de Weber State.

COMING THIS FALL: NEW OREM FILM FESTIVAL

A new Utah-based film festival is set to make its debut on Sept. 24 at the Megaplex Theaters in Vineyard. The festival is named the Orem Film Festival, also known as OFF. “I’m really passionate about creating an inperson community experience,” OFF director Trevor Allen said. Allen began planning the Orem Film

Festival in December 2024. He used connections with other people who are passionate about film to put together a team of volunteers to help run the first Orem Film Festival.

“I feel super lucky and privileged that the people I’m already kind of friends with are also passionate about film, also passionate about design and, you know, want to be involved in the community,” Allen said.

However, Allen said putting the festival

together came at a personal cost.

“I’ve had to kind of ask for every favor that I’ve got in the bank trying to make it happen,” Allen said.

Allen is also self-funding the entire event, including the cash prizes. In the future, he hopes to be able to secure sponsorships to help fund the event.

“Right now, I am just funding everything. This is my big passion project. I want to, you know, put my money where my mouth is,”

Allen said. “I have a couple sponsors I’m talking to right now, so maybe in the future that’ll change, where I have some support that come cover it with me.”

OFF will have three cash prizes available for winning filmmakers in three different categories. Each prize will be $1000 and is being directly funded by Allen.

The audience choice award will be awarded to the film that resonates the most with attending viewers. The jury prize for best short

will be awarded to the winning film based on the opinion of industry professionals and will be judged on originality, technical execution, narrative strength, emotional impact and artistic vision. The emerging filmmaker award will be awarded to an earlycareer, Utah-based filmmaker.

Allen said planning the event has taken a lot of work and has a lot of details to manage.

“The most challenging part is there’s just a billion moving pieces,” Allen said. “My brain feels like it’s about to explode.”

While planning all the specific details has been a lot of work for Allen, he said the most difficult part is choosing what films to feature.

“We still have another month of open submissions, but we got some, like, really, really strong films,” Allen said, “We’re only going to showcase 10 short films at the actual festival itself … We got like, maybe 30 great films, and I don’t know how I’m gonna narrow it down to 10.”

Allen said he’s been very impressed with the submissions so far.

“I’ve been really impressed with submissions. It’s been very exciting and very humbling to see the phenomenal work that

Utah’s producing right now,” Allen said.

Allen wants to select and feature mostly Utah-based filmmakers. The films are being selected largely based on the short films’ originality and their stories over technical prowess and production quality.

“I’d much rather have, you know, a really entertaining iPhone video then, I don’t know, like a slog of a film, you know, that looks nice,” Allen said.

The lineup of featured films will be officially announced on Aug. 24.

OFF will also be hosting a free outdoor movie night at the Orem Classic Fun Center where attendees will be watching “Sing Street” on Aug. 22. OFF will also be hosting a summer concert series at the same location on July 11 and Aug. 1, 15 and 29.

Allen wants the Orem Film Festival to become a community staple that sticks around for years to come.

“I want this to be a yearly thing until I die and hopefully after that too,” Allen said.

Tickets for the festival will be $5.

LLEGANDO ESTE OTOÑO: EL NUEVO OREM FILM FESTIVAL

POR DAVID ROMAN AROS Traductor

POR JARED MITCHELL

Editor

Un festival de cine basado en Utah se espera estrenar el 24 de septiembre en Megaplex Theaters de Vineyard. El festival se nombra el Orem Film Festival (Festival de Cine de Orem), también conocido como OFF.

Director de OFF Trevor Allen dijo, “Me apasiona crear una experiencia comunitaria en persona”.

Allen dijo, “Me siento super afortunado y privilegiado que las personas que ya considero amigos también se apasionan por el cine, también apasionados sobre el diseño y, sabes, querer ser involucrado en la comunidad”.

Sin embargo, Allen dijo que organizar el festival llevó un costo personal.

Allen dijo, “He tenido que pedir por cada favor posible para llevarlo a cabo”.

Allen también está autofinanciando el evento entero, incluyendo los premios en efectivo. En el futuro, él espera conseguir pa-

trocinios para ayudar a financiar el evento. Allen dijo, “Ahorita, estoy financiando todo. Este es mi gran proyecto que me apasiona. Yo quiero, sabes, poner mi dinero donde está mi boca. Tengo un par de patrocinadores que estoy hablando ahorita, así que en el futuro quizás eso cambie, donde tendré una forma de apoyo para ayudarme a cubrir el costo”.

OFF tendrá tres premios en efectivo disponibles para directores de cine en tres diferentes categorías. Cada premio estará dotado con 1.000 dólares y será financiado directamente por Allen.

El premio del público se concederá a la película que más resuene entre los espectadores asistentes. El premio del jurado al mejor cortometraje se concederá a la película ganadora según la opinión de los profesionales del sector y se valorará su originalidad, ejecución técnica, fuerza narrativa, impacto emocional y visión artística. El premio al cineasta emergente se concederá a un cineasta residente en Utah que haya iniciado su carrera.

Allen dijo, “Lo más difícil es que hay mil millones de piezas en movimiento, mi cere-

bro parece a punto de explotar”.

Aunque planificar todos los detalles específicos ha supuesto mucho trabajo para Allen, afirma que lo más difícil es elegir qué películas se van a presentar.

Allen dijo, “Aún nos queda un mes más de plazo, pero tenemos algunos cortometrajes muy, muy buenos, sólo vamos a proyectar 10 cortometrajes en el festival... Tenemos unos 30 cortometrajes fantásticos, y no sé cómo voy a reducirlos a 10”.

Allen dice que hasta ahora le han impresionado mucho las propuestas.

Allen dijo, “Me han impresionado mucho las propuestas. Ha sido muy emocionante y humillante ver el fenomenal trabajo que se está produciendo en Utah en estos momentos”.

Allen quiere seleccionar y presentar la mayoría de directores de cine basados en Utah. La selección de las películas se basa principalmente en la originalidad de los cortometrajes y sus historias, por encima de la destreza técnica y la calidad de producción.

Allen dijo, “Prefiero tener, ya sabes, un vídeo de iPhone realmente entretenido que, no sé, una película que parezca bonita”.

La programación de las películas se anunciará oficialmente el 24 de agosto.

OFF también organizará una noche de cine gratuito al aire libre en el Orem Classic Fun Center, donde los asistentes verán “Sing Street” el 22 de agosto. OFF también organizará una serie de conciertos de verano en el mismo lugar el 11 de julio y el 1, 15 y 29 de agosto.

Allen quiere que el Festival de Cine de Orem se convierta en un acontecimiento comunitario que perdure en el tiempo.

Allen dijo, “Quiero que esto sea algo anual hasta que me muera y espero que después también”.

Las entradas para el festival costarán 5 $.
