Doesn't espn own the X games?

Wonder how they will justify keeping the games in place while still reporting on CTE issues.

Lot of sports will be suspended do to violent cracks to the head and the sport will fade like one hit wonders... Yep, the day has arrived that peoples lives matter over excitement for the fans.

Now you're going to have a whole new craze of people signing their lives away to do crazy stunts.
Evel Knievel you're a bad MAN!..Laughing

Mirra and a couple others were the shit when it came to new innovation and with that they skidded across the concrete on their head a few times.
Props to Mr. Mirra for donating his resource to gain knowledge on CTE's

when I think of action sports athletes with crazy amount of concussions, the first person that comes to mind is TP.
People used to worry about them being able to spell their own name when they are 60. Now the worry is will they even make it to 40.

Pastrana was in diapers when Matt Hoffman was throwing 30' airs on a 25' tall quarterpipe. He had to be pulled by a kdx200 to hit those airs. I witnessed many of them riding at his place as a kid. That man landed on his head more than anyone i know. Aside from maybe Christian Hosoi on a skateboard. Its amazing how different athletes suffer from hits to the head. Hoffman still hits his halfpipe every morning before going to work. Crazy.

The Condor and Miracle Boy took so many bad hits it doesn't surprise me. Will this put a stop to action sports? Not a chance.
I have conflicting views about X Games etc. Yes they make a lot of money off riders/skaters taking huge risks, but would the sports stars make more money if X Games didn't exist?
