I saw the frontie and the double attempt live. The guy who tried the double (according to a doctor at the bar) may die. When he got up and walked it was apparently trauma and the right side of his body appeared to be... broken....

A frontflip and double backflip on a snowmobile shreds doing one on a motorbike.

Torstien's fucking triple cork was the sickest thing I've ever seen. It couldn't have been cleaner. That guy is a god.

A bit off topic but i hear the ISA is pushing for scooters on the x games?

Remember what happened to inline? We don't want that to happen to us. In the future, maybe we want scooters in the x games, but not within five years.

Why does it matter? Just go with whatever happens.

because if you put scooters in the x games to soon, we will get laughed at. theres very little riders that would actually be able to compete in such a competition and even they wouldnt be as impressive to the general audience as the bikers and skaters that are there every year. not only would they lose money but it would also make scooters look like a shit sport because of how underdeveloped it is at the moment. it could literally ruin the sport. whoevers trying to get scooters in the xgames is causing more harm then good. just going with what happens isnt an option.

now what the hell is the isa?

If you saw SD6, the supposed "best trick" was Zig jumping down the gap, and then jumping off his scooter. Rwilly said that his double flair at SD6 didn't count, so I have no clue why Zig's gap did.
Scooters can in no way compete with triple corks, cash rolls, or all the big air stuff they do. Skateboard street is probably the least watched major event in the xgames, even though it's the basis of the sport of skateboarding right now. The main audience would think that scooters are dumb, and only we would understand the skill it takes.
