I can't put both feet on a skateboard without busting my ass. Motorcycles of any kind scare the bejeezus out of me. And I've already shared with you my sub-par bicycle-riding skills. But, despite all of that, I happen to be a big-time X Games junkie.That being said, I'm obviously pumped as hell that X Games 15 begins tonight on ESPN. From the moment they ended last year, I've been looking forward to the excitement that this year's X Games will bring. And, trust me, the X Games are never short on excitement.
Need proof? Look no further than Tony Hawk landing the first ever 900 in a skateboard competition. Or Travis Pastrana becoming the first dude (or dudette) to complete a double-backflip on a dirt bike. Or Danny Way damn near breaking himself in half only to come back and complete his run to win the Silver Medal in Big Air. Or the late Colin McRae rolling his car merely feet away from winning the Gold Medal in the inaugural Rally X competition.
And that's just a few examples of the kickass, awesome moments that the X Games produce every year. If you're still not convinced, however, I suggest tuning in tonight, and all weekend, to see some amazing, gravity-defying shit.
Oh, and I don't just watch one or two events either. I watch EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM. What can I say? I'm addicted. So, you better bet that my DVR is gonna be working overtime this weekend.
Damn. I can't fucking wait.
Don't forget Jake Brown coming out of his shoes after missing his jump. But I totally agree Dalton. I will be glued to the tv for the whole X-Games, jus like I am every year.
ReplyDeleteI almost mentioned Jake Brown, but I had to limit myself. Otherwise, I would've kept listing memorable X Games moments until the blog exploded.
ReplyDeleteMan, I hope my DVR is doing its job right now. I wasn't around when it started tonight and decided I'd just wait until it goes off to watch it.
