not mad about the skate or bmx stuff at all, i kinda dig it all and im sure that skate boarding and bmx has moved the xgames along to what they are as much as anything else. what i didnt like was lack of a schedule or following of one. i think the skate vids were like a seperate event they squeezed in there in the last minute or something.
The X-games started with skating and bmx if I remember right. I can't believe how much it has evolved!!! The step-up that Ronnie Renner took gold in was a CRAZY event. I can't believe the landings these guys are taking. The X-Games just happened to be on when I was layed up in bed, so I spend many-a-hours watching those guys throw down.
I was really just cracking a joke because it seemed like those little video shorts just kept going on and on.
i wasnt tryin to come off to serious either but i get a kick out of most of it, i was amazed at the young kids in it this year. frickin insane.
It is amazing, and I am very impressed how these kids are just able to absorb and embrace competeting against their skating idols. They seem to be able to ignore the caliber of the event and just skate as if they're in their backyard.
indeed, theyre too young to feel the "pressure". thats the name of the game too, just go have fun is what its all about. try your best and the rest will fall into place.
with places like camp woodward it wouldnt suprise me to see more and more 15yr old and under kids out there in the comming years.
