High up on the forested slopes of Montjuïc, overlooking the city and its harbor below, Barcelona’s Anella Olímpica, built for the 1992 Olympics, provided a spectacular setting for the Summer X Games finals this year. Catalan photographer Coke Bartrina took to the second stop-off on a world tour that started by the waterfalls of Foz do Iguaçu, Brazil, in April and ends in Los Angeles in August, shooting the world’s best skaters, BMXers, motocross riders and rally drivers up close as they attempted death-defying stunts in the hazy sunshine. “When I was a teenager, I used to hang out with these guys that were into street biking in Barcelona,” recalls Bartrina, whose work is a regular feature in Apartamento magazine. “I used to take a lot of pictures of them and develop them in a black and white lab that I shared with a friend, so shooting this story made sense. Also these guys do their tricks so fast that you can't even really tell exactly what they are doing, and capturing just the right moment becomes an exciting challenge.” His surprisingly serene images freeze BMXes at a vert ramp in the Piscina Municipal de Salts—a high-diving location which hasn’t seen so many toned, athletic male bodies since Kylie Minogue’s video for "Slow" was filmed there—as well as motocross in Montjuïc’s stadium and street skating in the adjacent esplanade. Bartrina also shot BMX riders from below as they tricked over the astounding Big Air in the Palau Sant Jordi—an 88-foot mega-ramp, so big that it had to be built over the stands of the stadium and competitors had to take an elevator to the top of it.
