Landing in foam is one thing but trying to land a bike that is spinning out is going to be tuff. Cool trick but I looks like a sure way to broken bones on a dirt landing.

Taka is supposed to have rock solid flips. There's talk of a double volt, and a no handed carry on. Loza attempting bike flips into the pit AGAIN. Hopefully no injuries will have him finally attempt it to dirt. Jackson strong is supposed to have something new, but im pretty sure Billy Lanovich being in best whip is gonna be the best thing to see.
Cant post link from work, but Taka put up a video of him doing his backflip rock solid to dirt and it looks sick!

A photographer ran across his path right before he started each of his runs.

They are going to de-tune the course this year for the Womens Enduro Cross. That was just cruel last year. There were a few sections in last years course that 99% of riders, men or women, would have crapped themselves.

I don't know what the X games is, but when are you going to rock us with a sweet new shirt design?

That's the same trick Travis Pastrana was trying to do for the last two Best Trick comps, including where he trashed his leg last year.

X Games isn't the same when Travis isn't doing freestyle and that supercross isn't in it. I just hope that the freestyle course isn't a figure 8 with three jumps like it was last year.
It's the same. Times change, people age, new heroes emerge. But here's a little with Travis to tide you over. Smile



Moto X stuff is spread throughout the four days. Tonight's a big one, though, with Step-Up, Best Whip (which still has lame text-in voting to determine results), and (gulp) Best Trick. That event scares the crap out of me.

As for men's SX racing? ESPN does some things well, like building the course, but the course prep was always horribly dusty.

Very cool interview, have you seen any previews of the movie yet?

Yes. Honestly? Way better than I expected.

There's one 3D part near the beginning where there's a one-handed whip in your face. That was awesome. Beyond that, decent story, and lots of action.

The x games. At least for bikes hasnt been interesting for years now. Boring courses. Same tricks. It gets old. Thankfully sx /silva mx will never grow stale.
