I think Renner will take the step-up contest. Can't wait for the whip the best trick after that.

I was just about to say deegan would win lol, he might be out now.

Does it cost money to vote in best whip if you get free texting?

They only put the major events on TV. It's been like this for a couple of years now. I liked it better when the X-Games took two weeks and they showed every last thing. But that was back when they had like 50 events and other things like skyboarding, rock climbing, wakeboarding, in-line skates, street luge, longboard races, and all that crazy stuff.

I was disappointed in the Best Whip contest, text votes to decide the medal was such a stupid idea. McNeil and Pages were clearly throwing down the best whips but McNeil only got bronze and Pages didn't get anything.

It was more of a popularity contest, stenberg's whips were not even on the same level as pages, mcneil, and potter. Potter threw a few very sick whips and those whips were some of the best, the camara men sucked though.

Freestyle moto x was insane, that carry on is crazy. The double backflip nac should have at least tied for gold. I think travis will have the next 3 days off... I cant belive he still competes, hes going to be in alot of pain when he grows old.

The camera men were terrible, they missed whips because they were looking at riders talking to each other at the top of the ramp and I think most of Nate Adam's runs were cut off because they were too busy looking at him running into the take off ramp and not following him into the air.

Pages, who should of taken second or first IMO ended up with 9% of the votes in 5th place. 👎

Judging on the FMX was silly too. A 4 year-old trick was deemed better than a trick that medalled last year.

Pastranaflop.

Pastrana might race rally. He's insane! But he's also Travis Pastrana so you know how that goes.

They should do park on dirt bikes.

Really?, I can't see that ending well.

Congrats to shawn white!!! What a beast!!! Skateboard vert gold medalist.

 

[Villain]

I've seen videos of FMX riders in Skateparks and halfpipes - always ends up lame. Funny at first, but those machines are better suited for those 50-100ft gaps.

I don't have ESPN classic! Stupid tennis better be over soon. Rally Cross race was great though!

Hasn't been over for half an hour yet but I sure do miss it. It's the first X GAMES that really held my interest and now I'm sad it's gone.

It'll be Jake Brown all over again, except with the added height gained from engine power.
