Dammit, my post was going to beI'm reading the thread title as "Xgames are going to suck..." I agree.
dante said:Uh, I think you misspelled "suck"...
Haters.I am simply amazed at the progression of skill, coming from a moto background I enjoy it more than most I guess
Yeah, Bob Roll should do the announcing for the Xgames.I just can't listen to those asinine commentators. The tricks are cool, but all the crap in between is intolerable.
I will watch in my flat brimmed hat.
And a Tapout T.
Tapout is last year, Affliction T with color matching black/green matching Monster trucker hat.And a Tapout T.
OUCH! That didn't look good.
warming up with double backies?
oh man this is going to be good
All competitors have to wear skirts and tights now ?Every judged event turns into figure skating.
Lame and formulaic.All competitors have to wear skirts and tights now ?
The " X " in X-Games now means cross dressing. Things sure have changed.
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.Freestyle motocross is even easier to fall asleep to on the couch than a Nascar race.
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.And a Tapout T.
what happened to the old days of the Xgames?....street luge, downhill fruit bootin (awesome crashes), surfing, wall climbing, sky diving,
Might as well have called it the Moto/Rally Games for all it's worth this time around...I just can't listen to those asinine commentators. The tricks are cool, but all the crap in between is intolerable.
Rednecks don't participate in such activities. Usually.So what happened to bikes, blades, boards, rock climbing, skydiving and all the rest that was the main center of attention?
It stopped being "eXtreme" when the suburbanite kids took them up. Nothing says extreme like skateboarding to the Gap.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.
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.
Of course, the bellbottom generation probably hated my parachute pants, Flock-of-Seagulls hairstyle and sequin glove.![]()
Since you live in Morristown, don't those kids make up about 70% of the youth population?It stopped being "eXtreme" when the suburbanite kids took them up. Nothing says extreme like skateboarding to the Gap.
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 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...![]()
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 housesnah dude that 70% is now of Latino/Hispanic descent. Their fav sport is playing frogger on wal-mart bikes.
Thanks for clarifying that.Actually, oversized sunglasses are kinda nice. There's a little bit of function to it - IE giving your eyes more coverage.

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.
