It's that time of the year again, time for the X-games. The X-games have started to fall off of the face the Earth and proof of that is that even though they are going on right now as I type, they are not being televised. It seems that they are waiting for the finals of all the events. Even worse, they were contemplating ditching the skateboard vert competition. WTF !?!
Fortunately, the athletes were able to save the vert competition.
Granted, it is true that vert ramps are pretty rare and your average everyday run-of-the-mill skateboarder doesn't have one to ride, but I think that's what makes it so spectacular. I myself have to drive at least two hours just to find a skatepark with a vert ramp, even more to find one that is being sessioned. And that is why I love to see what guys like Bob Burnquist, Bucky Lasek, and Rune Glifberg are pulling these days.
In other news, Jake Brown the guy who fell over 40 feet in last years big air competiton, is coming back again for more this year.
