Ok, I can see the back flips and huge airs on a motorcycle. You can always ditch the bike mid air if you have to and the suspension helps.

But huge backflips on a snowmobile? They have to weigh hundreds of pounds and gnarling treads that can chew up limbs? New one on one race/freestyle event looks really cool.

Still looks like some awesome events this time around.

i am obsessed with the xgames. last night's ski superpipe was awesome, though arguably simon dumont got screwed the by the judges.

i just love how quickly skiing has progressed.

yeah, used to be skiers were never in the pipe nor could they do anything with it. Now they're tearing it up.

I think last night they said the snowmobiles weigh 500 pounds.

Cool... hope I haven't missed anything really good yet. I mostly watch snowboarding cause I snowboard myself, but some of the other events are okay.

Decent... finally will have a use for this retarded cable TV we've been paying for but have no use for since I ****** hate TV.
