TexasBlazed, a 250 can be over 25lbs heavier & definitely not as nimble as a 125. Yes, I know a 125 is as tall as a 250, if not taller, but they're 2 completely different feeling/operating bikes. I'll have to look up the other mods that his 125 had as well...

Damn pastrana was trying 720's sooo fvckin sick! Can't believe dude won when he did last year with the same trick

X games was a disappointment this year...

Call me crazy, but I don't like watching guys crash. Would have been a lot better if some of those were landed...

Loza shouldn't have won either, what a joke.

crispy, that initially what he wanted to do but it kinda turned into a corkscrew 720.

ya the first flip was just kind of corked and then the second rotation was a clearly flatspun 360...not really sure what to call it??

ZackFL(BRE), dang switch master

all you guys saying it sucked this year...did you not watch skateboarding and only freestyle dirtbike? Because this was by far the sickest xgames for skateboarding I thought, loved how they did the maloof style!

-LoGiK-, yeah, it was all about the skating this year. Skateboard Park brought skating to a whole new level this time around, as well as the big air rail jam.

I too agree that the maloof style comps seem to work a little better.

all dirtbike related events were pretty boring...

skateboarding was awesome to watch EXCEPT for the big air rail jam....wtf...why? I don't get it. It was like a whack ass wakeboarder rail jam for nascar fans.

and props to the girl that won motocross...

yeah skateboarding big air wasn't very exciting this year. My favorite was street skate and BMX park.
