Fav. Summer X-Games Event (POLL)

[NOKUY]

Will I know there are quite a few athletes and fans out there...so vote for your favorite.

The poll contains only CURRENT events, so any that are now defunct are not in the poll....sorry. (that would be stuff like inline and bungee jumping and street luge...etc...)

I got my vote in for BMX Flatland (cuz it's what I do)

 

[INDODRO]

I must be blind cause I don't see a poll.

 

[pipeline]

Freestyle Motocross

 

[sow the seeds]

Lol yukon you must be puffin a lotta venomhead and TFB cuz there isn't a poll!

Anyways I'd say bmx park...cuz thats what I do. A lot of the same tricks going down in it now though.

Also bmx vert because those guys are just absolutley insane. I don't think the normal person seeing it on tv realizes what its like to just STAND at the top of a 13 ft vert ramp...nevermind floating a 14 ft high alleyoop air across it (Jamie Bestwick).

Its too bad too because flatland doesn't get nearly the coverage it deseves. Is it even on tv anymore? Its harder than any other disiciple of bike riding (and possibly extreme sports) but gets no recognition. Gotta teach me some move man I can't even hang 5 for more than 5 ft! haha.

 

[NOKUY]

the poll is there now

 

[INDODRO]

I voted for bmx park but I really like the flatland and vert too. Wish I could've picked all 3!

yukon! ya got stick that poll up for us all!

 

[Guest]

o there it is, ill vote.........................NOW

despite the pure commerciallism, im gonna say rallying, just cause i think the xgames might help introduce it more to the US so US drivers can get better funding and sponsorships.

Ahh theres the poll.

You should include things from past x games too. I used to think the street louge was pretty cool when they crashed lol.

Same thing with modified shovel racing in the winter x games. I remember some crazy crashes from that event.

I was gonna try to do that, but the list of events that are now defunct is pretty long, (too long for the max. of 25 choices) and If I only included a few then it would look like I was leaving some out due to prejudice or something, and I probably would have.

but yeah there are some good events that are gone, and some that are good to be gone.

Moto-X Best Trick gets my vote, though Super-Moto was pretty intense last year, had me on the edge of my seat.

those super-moto bikes are fukin badass....I'd get myself into all kinds of trouble w/ one of those!

Man I'm with you...if i had a super moto bike or a rally car I don't think I'd be living too much longer.

Anyone else think the moto x freestyle is kind of boring now? I mean sure their flipping a 200+ lb bike like 100 ft but the only trick in the events now seem to be flips! I'd much rather see em do a nice stylish whip over a flip any day.

That aspect of it is a bit tired (Motorcycle flips)...but impressive. (and "deegan"...well never mind I'll bite my tongue here).

W/ BMX flips you can at least still throw the bars or 360 or 180...but BMX flips got tired a long time ago too.

did they ever figure out that "barspin" motorcycle that pastrana was playin' with?...that thing was pretty bad, but sure looked fragile.

 

[bongasaurus]

gotta love the street skating

No arguing its impressive that they can flip that thing. Even more amazing is the fact that the snowmobile dude flip those thing. Those guys gotta have a screw loose.

I don't think pastrana ever ended up going any further with that barspinable bike after the forks broke pretty easily. I haven't heard anymore about them at least.

To you skaters...don't think the x games street is slightly boring? I mean I really enjoy skateboarding, but the x games street just seems too stock. The part I enjoy the most about skating is the lines people come up with.

I know its not exactly related to this thread (except its skateboarding) but people should check out this link...and esecailly the last trick in the video. The whole thing is amazing though.

Wakeboarding is still an x games event, that would have been my vote, otherwise i like watching all the skate and bmx events.

 

[Capt. Cannabis]

I voted for the skate-vert men.

I just love to watch those guys ride those huge plywood ramps. The tricks they can do and the freakin airtime is just sick.

And for the moto-x event, this sport has grown so fast. I remember that 5 years ago the double cancan was a sick move. Just last year when I saw the double backflip pastrana pulled I just went crazy. I liked the double cancan back than and I like the superman seatgrabflip now. I think it's good to see a sport develop this fast and it feels like they haven't hit any ceiling yet.
