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.

Pastrana pulls off double backflip
Pastrana pulled off the unimaginable in the X Games Friday night, completing a double backflip in Moto X Best Trick that brought the fans to their feet and left his fellow competitors shaking their heads.
“It was the stupidest thing I’ve ever seen,” bronze medalist Blake Williams said.
Fourth after the first round, Pastrana knew he needed to pull off something big to get gold. With his mother, Debby, anxiously waiting next to the course, Pastrana did just that, whipping his 200-pound motorcycle around in two complete revolutions. […]

Well asian X-Games support rollerblading, and i’m sure that rollerblades will be there again once day.

wuz there an asian x-games this year? if so i didnt catch it. TP landed that double back clean. and does anyone know why they stopped putting blading in the x-games. i remember seein a vert comp with a real good asian blader like when i was younger. and that was the last i ever saw of blading.

dont u guys think that its better that rollerblading isnt in the X-games???? i mean like wat happened to skateboarding man like wen skateboarding went all big u see any little kid with vans or dc’s or etnies or watever and they just do it for the fashion its like they actually skateboard they just wear skateboard clothing cuz other people think its cool and that doesnt happen with rollerbladers cuz if u see someone with roller blading clothing or anything that has to do with rollerblading u know that that person rolleblades and if rollerblading goes all big again then rollerblading will be the same as skateboarding and it will just become a thing for fashion instead of something that someone does…

the xgames was suppouse to so the united states dominate in sports! but the 2 japanese bro’s is kicking everyone ass and shit! they feel more embrass! that is the reason why! i think in my opinion!
August 6th, 2006 at 5:49 am
I dont think rollerblading will ever be a fashion thing just because you have to wear the skates, to skate. Skateboards on the other hand can be an accessory.
And to the dude that said the Yasutokos are winning everything, they just got beaten at LG.
August 6th, 2006 at 7:04 am
we got kicked out of the x-games cuz people in the U.S. were supposedly giving bad ratings about rollerblading and some people complaining that it was too easy and that no one liked it …. thats it
August 6th, 2006 at 7:06 pm
They don’t even ACKNOWLEDGE rollerblading so fuck them. And who cares if they have it over in Asia….its not broadcasted here so probly nobody is fuckin watich it. FUCK THE X-GAMES

the Yasutokos were making skateboarding vert look ridiculous.
can you fathom what chris haffey would do on that big launch? wtf.
the xgames are a laughable corporate enterprise, and i am glad that the activity that i have devoted over 15 years of my life to is not being represented by that bullshit.
cornball shit. for serious.
