X Games 17

[JaoSming]

ahh, I love X Games, and I really love how they are doing 2 rally car events this year, and I really really love how they are doing it in downtown LA away from all that dust in the Coliseum last year.

[[Q]]

where are they doing em? i really liked how they drove in and out of the front of the coliseum with the columns.

Travis Pastrana is insane. If you didnt hear, he did a 2nd attempt at his backflip720 trick out of turn on Thursday. Shattered his right tibia and ankle and broke something in his foot. He was supposed to be in a NASCAR race today and Rally tomorrow....


....well turns out, his rally team added hand controls to his steering wheel of the rally car, and he might actually race this afternoon or tomorrow......

the man is obviously crazy.

Or a GOd

As a guy that uses hand controls: i approve this completely

but the man has a busted ankle, and they have a jump on the course that you are required to hit. If it werent for that jump then yes, he would be more of a God than an idiot

overall that was a very good X Games

the Rallycross on Sunday was amazing, same with the Enduro racing (motocross racing mixed with trials, hilarious)

nice drama on the skateboard big air and vert competitions, great street and bowl layouts for those BMX and skaters,

overall it was just a really really good xgames.....other than playing the same 3 commercials every break (shark week's "show me your teeth" song, the racing competition thing with Ken Block and Foust, and the Shaun White wants the drive ones)

They thought they were finally going out of the kitchen and into the garden, but got confused when there were a few plants in sight.

They should do it again in the next x-games for the lulz.
