I agree both street and park take skill and balls, no doubt. But I think street is more fun to watch, because you see more things that you wouldn't think of than in park. I think that is why Superpark has me stoked, because there will be creative stuff being thrown down. At the same time I know this stuff will be huge. My guess for SP is going to be Wade, because he flows really good, has big tricks, and is really creative. Then again, it will most likely be Spinner, Dhers, or Scotty, because they all throw huge stuff and that's what is going to matter in the end. Any contest will have flaws, unless it is judged anonymously, so that the judges see the riding but don't know who it is riding. People wiill always have favorites, and nobody can change that.

Check the invite list. My thoughts after seeing it are:

1. The skateboard park is gonna be one of the most interesting events. also that
<----- guy will be there.
2. Can't wait to see Lincoln Ueda hitting the megaramp, he's gonna hit the roof.
3. MotoX best whip? nice
4. Bmx street? even better
5. Rally car invites - BIG JOKE!

nice job finding that pete.

skate street - i see appleyard, duffel, chris cole, lutzka, and billy marks to wreck shit.

skate big air - cant wait to see what bob comes out with this year, he's always got something creative

skate vert - shaun white show

skate superpark - woah didnt even know this existed. i expect TNT to go balls out, but i see rune just wrecking everybody with his bowl skills.

bmx street - easily the best contest lineup i've ever seen. wow.

bmx vert - jamie bestwick show.

bmx big air - no clue what will happen, should be good though.

bmx superpark - the second best contest lineup i've ever seen. seriously can't wait for this. like i said before, i'm sure dhers or spinner will win, but i really just want to see everyone else ride.


i dont really follow any of the motor sports, but theyre always fun to watch. this is the first xgames ive been really excited about in awhile.
 
wow half of those riders are from california :D
lol
and since when does dave mirra race ralley cars??
lol hes just racking up gold medals no matter how he can get them lol

so if a 360 flip your only gonna slide out can you go try it since you say it like its nothing
theres a reason theres only a hand full of riders do it
theres plenty of people who will jump big gaps

o yea and about the x games being rigged to get better ratings?
god thats almost as stupid as your cork 7 being nothing quote
do you know who the judges are??
i sat right next to the judges last year
every single one of them was a old bmx pro
so no he didnt win because of the ratings they would get
yea x games is a best trick contest pretty much wtf else would it be
its not the style games
people dont turn on the x games to watch inverts the want to see flips and huge tricks cuz those take hours of practice

There is vert, don't worry. It was gone, then people b-tched, then it came back. I can't wait to watch super park. It's going to be sick.

nah vert isnt back
but in super park there is a full vert
so the vert rideers that entered will prob be in that section

Bottom line is that the X-games are totally wack, and show very little representation of what any of the sports included actually are. The X-games is one of the reasons people always ask if you can do backflips, because they see that on TV and think that's all there is. In real life, how many kids do you see imitating Dave Mirra, Mike Spinner and Scotty Cranmer? Not as many as you see trying to be like Ian Schwartz, Eddie Cleveland and Chase Dehart, yet none of the actual influential riders are shown on TV. I just think a bad representation of many of the sports that are in it.

I'm not even gonna start about why rally shouldn't be in it.
 
lol well if it wasnt for x games there would be wayyyy less people interested in sports like these and we all know it
its x games which means a competition... not all riders are competition riders
example: john radtke
obviously one of the best and how often does he place in comps?
all those riders that you guys say are the best because of their style, most of them probably dont even want to be in the x games
