quoting a mail from Matthew Dearden:

Our video director Simon Mulvaney took a quick break from making the Chaz Sands Invitational TV documentary (airing early next year on Extreme TV) and made this funny video about the X-games dropping inline skating.

Set in 2004 – Avid rollerblader; Adolf Hitler finds out that inline skating has been dropped from the X Games, and doesn’t take too kindly towards their decision to do so.

The official results are finaly online here:

Here are media of the X-Games Dubai 2006 that took place in United Arab Emirates on the 1st to 3rd of december 2006 (flyer). 2 days of the comp were cancelled due to the rain.

Hurricane winds day in Dubai, forcing organisers to cancel the programme for the day. There was practically a riot by the bloodthirsty fans of the mega-extreme event in Africa’s east coast. However, the panic abated, and the event took place in front of a capacity 14 000 people last night! More

You can check more photos here. Thanks to Alan K. for the photos and the vert video.

X-games Dubai 2006 : More infos about the Events that will took place in the United Arab Emirates.

Travis pastrana is the First Person to ever Land the Double Backflip in X-Games competition. And i’m sure that a lot of people never thought it was even possible !

X Games 12 Factoids
from Expn

Q: Where will the 12th summer X Games be held?

A: In and around Los Angeles, California at the STAPLES Center (tickets required), Home Depot Center (tickets required) and Puerto Escondido, Mexico (Surfing – FREE). The first eight stages of Rally Car Racing will be held in the Los Angeles area with a Super Special live at the Home Depot Center finale (tickets required). See venues for detailed locations and directions.

Q: When, pray tell, will the 12th summer X Games be held?

A: Thursday, August 3 to Sunday, August 6, 2006.

Q: What is this “X Games” you speak of?

A: If you’ve been under a rock in South Korea for 12 years, I hope you didn’t get flat. But the X Games is the definitive annual action sports competition, featuring more than 150 of the world’s best athletes. This years’ sports are BMX Freestyle, Moto X, Skateboard, Surfing and Rally Car Racing.

Well i’m not sure about the problems that Expn has with South Korea, cause it’s pretty active country in the extreme sports.

If the writer of the article was on the red planet march, i may understand that he missed the fact that Seoul (Korea) hosted the Asian X-Games in May 2005. Stop drinking beers while writing your articles dude.
