do people actually watch the xgames?

Rich Boy · 07-28-11, 09:29 PM

Maybe for the wipeouts

goofyre · 07-28-11, 09:30 PM

I've been watching tonight. The things these guys do are absolutely crazy.

Fieldysnuts44 · 07-28-11, 09:59 PM

Yes I love to watch the moto cross riders

stevenash · 07-28-11, 10:01 PM

Hate the X games, ESPN tries to legitamize this crap too.

face · 07-28-11, 10:01 PM

yes i watch it i used to skateboard a lot.

ShogunRua · 07-28-11, 10:03 PM

no.

Igetp2s · 07-28-11, 10:06 PM

Its tough to watch. You're not actually rooting for anybody to win. You're rooting for serious accidents and wipeouts. Without the injuries, it's not exciting.

rthoughton · 07-28-11, 10:06 PM

my 11 year old brother is watching it right now. ha.

William Walters · 07-28-11, 10:07 PM

Some of these xgames competitors make more cash already than any of you degens will ever come close to.

sjm5122 · 07-28-11, 10:26 PM

The things they do are nuts, yet for some reason it just does not keep my attention.

nyed1010 · 07-28-11, 11:34 PM

watched some of the BMX big jump, fun to watch.

valaub04 · 07-28-11, 11:43 PM

ricky fowler from the pga tour sure seems to love it...

venice2222 · 07-28-11, 11:47 PM

only stoners and children watch that bs.

DeluxeLiner · 07-28-11, 11:49 PM

i watch it a bit. i mean if nothing else is on it's worth a look.

LiarGame · 07-28-11, 11:56 PM

Nope. Haven't seen a single x games ever.

Inkwell77 · 07-29-11, 12:13 AM

Love it.

I'm a bigger fan of the winter x-games, but the street skating at summer x is dope.

Meyhem · 07-29-11, 12:13 AM

Not sure why people are acting like they are grown up and cool for not watching it, bahah

The best trick on the motor x is pretty impressive, if you ever go to a show like the crusty demons you will be blown away with the height they get

Djstucky · 07-29-11, 12:19 AM

I have a ton of respect for what crazy $hit they do but can't stand to watch more than the highlights on espn. I have tried forcing myself to watch it but gave up. I would rather watch grass grow.

Ace_of_Spades · 07-29-11, 12:19 AM

Watch the skating sometimes.

laclippers504 · 07-29-11, 12:52 AM

I know that guy Sal Masekala watches rofl

thetrinity · 07-29-11, 08:02 AM

personally i think its stupid. can you even bet on it? i know these guys get paid for doing it so more power to em.

ngates815 · 07-29-11, 08:23 AM

I like the Big Air : skateboard and BMX that they had on last night.

Other than that, I'll watch the Rally Cross

dom75 · 07-29-11, 10:46 AM

I enjoy watching it, seeing the wipeouts and huge tricks. It took me a few years to really get into it, but now I thrive for it. These tricks the riders pull off are f'n sick.

ngates815 · 07-29-11, 10:54 AM

One of the most exciting events...I hate skateboarders more than anything, but I actually look forward to this event. I put my hatred away for skateborders for the night, and sit back and enjoy.

MEATHEAD · 07-29-11, 10:54 AM

My little brother is into it.

ngates815 · 07-29-11, 11:06 AM

Skateboard big air tonight at 830 to 10 Central time.

Rally car is saturday afternoon at 3...won't be watching.

Fowler & Sheckler are pals which is part of the reason he's there (Street Skate qualifying is today.........finals tomorrow). In fact, Fowler just golfed at the "Sheckler Foundation" charity tourney this past Monday in Palos Verdes, CA.

They hold no interest for me--we were doing all that stuff in the 70's and 80's on our own. Quick story: Me and my friends took one of our sister's hula hoop (that shows how long ago it was) and a can of gas from one of our dad's garages, and went to an empty school parking lot. We poured the gas in the middle of the hula hoop and lit it on fire, then jumped out bikes over it. All because we wanted to be like Evel Knievel jumping over the pit of fire that we had seen on Wide World of Sports.
