MetalMulisha.com X Games 15 Notes

X Games 15 Gold, Silver and Bronze

July 29th through August 2nd. 2009

THURSDAY - JULY 30th - Staples Center, Los Angeles, CA

Todd Potter won X Games Best Whip! He smoked some of the best riders in the world, including some guys you may have heard of, like James Stewart, Ricky Carmichael, Jeremy McGrath, and even Metal Mulisha's Josh Grant. Potter got double the amount of votes of 2nd place, who happened to be Supercross Champ James Stewart! Oh yeah, and this is the 2nd year in a row Potter has won best whip. I think it's safe to say that Potter has the BIGGEST and BEST WHIP in the world!

Brian Deegan competed in Step Up clearing 26 feet!

FRIDAY - JULY 31st - Staples Center, Los Angeles, CA

For the second night in a row, Todd Potter took home a medal, this time a Bronze in Best Trick!

During Best Trick Deegan, pulled live-TV broadcasting duty for ESPN alongside Cameron Steele.

SATURDAY - AUGUST 1st - Home Depot Center, Carson, CA

In front of a sold-out crowd at Home Depot Center, Twitch killed it in the FMX Finals on Saturday night! Smooth as ever and hucking huge tricks! He missed the gold by only 1 point!

SUNDAY - AUGUST 2ND- Home Depot Center, Carson, CA

All week at X Games Brian Deegan was running strong in his factory Rockstar Ford Fiesta! His practice lap times were on par or better than the top guys, and getting faster every time as he got more comfortable with more seat time. In Deegan's first heat he pinned it on the big jump, over clearing it and smashing up the front of the car. He still won the heat and advanced to the quarter finals, but did so without a functioning turbo. The damage to the turbo would be too much to get the car working well enough to keep up with the top guys. He was pretty pissed, but there is not much you can do about heavy mechanical problems…there's always next year!
