warming up with double backies?
oh man this is going to be good
When are the xgames? That is going to be super sick.
I saw some skateboarding comps on TV a few weeks ago called the Maloof cup or something like that. It was awesome to see how much the skaters were finally making. 100,000 for first place. It's about time.

oh god. "sick" used in the thread title about the xgames and then again in the first reply.
i think i'm going to be "sick"

I'm reading the thread title as "Xgames are going to suck..." I agree.
I've always liked the XG's for the "wow factor" of some of the tricks and moves pulled off. But over the last few years it's gotten to the point where it's just silly with the course and ramp designs. The street park configuration for the 06-08 years was a joke, it looked like the riders were riding around in a giant labyrinth then a skate park.
I am simply amazed at the progression of skill, coming from a moto background I enjoy it more than most I guess
Haters.
Yeah its cool to hate the Xgames but what moto guys are doing now adays is plain ol' bonkers.
Yeah, Bob Roll should do the announcing for the Xgames.
You be Ill'n
I was hoping the X-games would be rad. I'm so un-stoked right now. They should at least be EXTREME!1!1!1!
I like the x games, sans the stupid announcers, mountain dew commercials, and screaming tweens.
I will watch in my flat brimmed hat.
Tapout is last year, Affliction T with color matching black/green matching Monster trucker hat.
I enjoy the progression of the vert skating, but the freestyle moto stuff gets old fast.
OUCH! That didn't look good.
Every judged event turns into figure skating.
All competitors have to wear skirts and tights now ?
The " X " in X-Games now means cross dressing. Things sure have changed.
Lame and formulaic.
They're all wearing costumes too, in case you didn't notice
there is truth in this. that one kid should have won, with the 360 downside indian air. that is retarded. i don't want to see a midget do the same trick he did last year and win again.
i'd wear my graphic pinstriped blazer from pacsun, but my neck tats need room to breathe, so i left it in my lifted truck.
It sucks royally this year.
what happened to the old days of the Xgames?....street luge, downhill fruit bootin (awesome crashes), surfing, wall climbing, sky diving,
I hear they're going to rename it 'MotoXgames' next year.
lolz.
Might as well have called it the Moto/Rally Games for all it's worth this time around...
I managed to watch coverage almost every day and 80% of the time it was some kind of moto event and hype for the Rally events this past Sunday. So what happened to bikes, blades, boards, rock climbing, skydiving and all the rest that was the main center of attention?
And the commentators sound like drunk surfer dudes at a bar watching sports center.
Don't get me wrong the progression is crazy for what their doing I just feel they're losing the entire point of what the "X Games" were supposed to be about to begin with.
Rednecks don't participate in such activities. Usually.
Boring as hell. I caught most of the moto and rally events, but never managed to catch any BMX comps, which is all I really enjoyed watching back in the day.
It stopped being "eXtreme" when the suburbanite kids took them up. Nothing says extreme like skateboarding to the Gap.
Flat-brimmed caps trend needs to die a swift death. Oversized sunglasses too.
Of course, the bellbottom generation probably hated my parachute pants, Flock-of-Seagulls hairstyle and sequin glove.

Actually, oversized sunglasses are kinda nice. There's a little bit of function to it - IE giving your eyes more coverage. I didn't get into them until I lived on the beach in SoCal. But there's a limit to it, and a lot of the ones I see are just silly (in size, and they have practically clear lenses. Its like buying novelty sunglasses at a clown supply outlet.)Flat-brimmed caps trend needs to die a swift death. Oversized sunglasses too.

FWIW I have a pair of Electric KO sunglasses. Large enough for full coverage and minimal silliness.

edit: I should also note that I have a large head (and subsequently larger facial features), so I require a larger pair of glasses in the first place.

electrics are mint glasses. i love their goggles too. the only good part about the actual x-games was the double front flip pulled off on the BMX big air thing...but even that didn't win.
Since you live in Morristown, don't those kids make up about 70% of the youth population?
And if I remember right it was the Morristown mall that had the Van's skate park to go riding in the winter time, just look out for shaggy haird kids with tight pants on brake less bmx bikes with big bars, ohh wait...
nah dude that 70% is now of Latino/Hispanic descent. Their fav sport is playing frogger on wal-mart bikes.Since you live in Morristown, don't those kids make up about 70% of the youth population?

And the Van's skate park is no more. Closest indoor park is Hackettstown.
Morristown hasnt had a skate park in god knows how long.And if I remember right it was the Morristown mall that had the Van's skate park to go riding in the winter time, just look out for shaggy haird kids with tight pants on brake less bmx bikes with big bars, ohh wait...
where you are it is. they all seem to be concentrated around HQ Plaza. go another mile and youll find rich white folk in multi million dollar houses
Thanks for clarifying that.
