so nick hill style

i personally dont want it to go big, i like being part of somthing underground, something that people look at u and go "WTF r u thinking"

So don't worry, when Patrick Stephens, Darius, Kyle Woods, etc are part of that small amount who have a name like Tony Hawk, Alan "Ollie" Gelfand, or Bob Burnquist in the board realm, you can still be in the lots with the rest of us having a good time!

No racing + No air= No X-games
The direction that X-games in heading , it might make it one day... But, it won't last long just like flatland.
Manny from OM had a good idea about racing oval tracks on whoolies like they did in Cali somewhere. He said the crowd went nutz.

We did that up here a few years ago for NFSC. The crowd LOVES it. esp if you get a little sh*t talking before.

Re: This sport aint going to the X-Games....
Almost every press event I've been to (not many) had stunters. After the qualifiers, during "down times" and the crowd ALWAYS completely loses it.
You guys consi9stently sell yourselves short when it comes to appeal. Big deal it's not vert/big air. People dig watching other people risk death.

ice skating rules, mixed with nascar rules, with some WWF acting and **** talking thrown in then u might have a chance of making this go big, untill u get that **** figured out, no chance
