X Games 16 - Speed and Style

[hoofarted]

Went to the last day of X Games 16 yesterday with my son. Bitchen seats - right next to the box seats, diagonal from the media pits at Staples Center.

Was actually a pretty damn good show. The speed and style is where they build a small MX track with a couple large ramps in the center for FMX tricks. The best part was the eliminations where riders went head to head. Pastrana owned all, as expected - handing everyone's asses to them on his trusty RM smoker. Twitch biffed twice; the second time he decided to finish the round instead of folding. Good thing, because his opponent (Renner IIRC) stalled out his POS 4-poke and got passed.

Best part of the night, kid got to see his first pair of flashed b00bs in the stands!

So all in all, was better than I expected - real entertaining. Kid was asking about "the ranch" as I had talked about it before. Wants his own track now.

Here's some fone cam pics I snapped and a link to a vid of Pastrana towards the end:





I want this:


Weird contraption for free spinning handlebars. Kinda like BMX:
