No one was going to out jump Creed yesterday. He showed up to win. 

Ya he looked amazing and if the graphic didn’t tell me otherwise I would have agreed 100%.

As hard as the X games broadcast tried to hype the E bike during both best whip and quarter pipe you can take your tin foil hat off and accept that Raha got beat straight up and should have used his regular bike instead.

 

I can accept Creed beat him that’s not the issue. The issue was the picture of Raha being higher than they claimed Creed to be. ESPN messed up and if I was Creed I’d want a statement. Creed also had the sickest bike build IMO. The tin foil hat comment was in jest in the heat of the moment just so everyone knows this was an immediate reaction post. I just want an explanation, was the graphic bs? Was the part that needed to be higher his helmet or something else that wasn’t? Why did he appear higher on the graphic?

The graphic is BS.. a visual aid for the average viewer. They have a transponder system giving the precise height data for scoring.

We figured that much. That being said it doesn’t make it look any better. Show a guy being higher for the “average viewer” and 30 seconds later we’ll tell you the other guy won. Don’t worry he was actually higher the image we posted 30 seconds ago was fake for all you confused viewers at home. Trust me bro.

Man, you are obviously emotionally invested here... 

Here's the thing. X Games just isn't what it used to be. Long gone are the ESPN primetime TV slots and big budgets. They are basically solely broadcasting on Youtube now, right? Either way it's not what the event it used to be and that should be taken into consideration when judging the quality of the broadcast.

With that being said, I would love to see a measurement pole behind the lander like they used to have for Mega Ramp high air. Not sure why they got rid of it.
