I just watched Travis Pastrana bust a double back flip in competition.

We dont have anything that even compares to that.

Just watch Darius's winning runs at various events and compare them to any of the X-games winning runs in any competition......Nothing against D but hes at the top so...

Lets have an adult discussion, no flaming/hating

 

I've always said even if it DID make it to the x games.. It'd be off in the background like flat land bmx

 

our sport is in it's infancy.


we haven't even BEGUN to show what's possible.

i'm just glad i was lucky enough to get in on the ground level....10-20 years from now is when we will be X-games material.

think about it....stunting as only been around in this form for roughly 10 years.


that's NOTHING in terms of other sports. think about the first ten years of skateboarding, or surfing (even tho it was done hundreds of years ago....)

 

Yeah I doubt it but we'll see. If it is I agree it'll be in the background aswell.

 

just saw that ****, and i am amazed!

i also see rallycross on x-games, so that means that drifting and stunting is next up to bat.

 

Dose not matter srew xgames! Some of us are allready makeing money! and its only growing..

 

pastrana busting out a double backflip is just fu(king insane...............

have to give the kid mad props for taking it to the next level.....:YEAH

 

**** X-games, there are more stunt comps around the country than any other sport i know of.


maybe not huge ones, but it seems everyone month, or even less, there is a comp or show somewhere, and a bunch of poeple are going.



the real money in this sport isn't gonna be made off comps. it'll made with shows and DVD sales.


although that's just my opinion.

 

theres motocross raceing then theres motocross stunting
theres bike raceing theres bike stunting
theres sportbike raceing and theres no stunting
its missing and it will go somewere

 

+1
wheelies on a streetbike is just not enough to gather thousands like big air on dirtbikes

 

You guys are funny......look at what FMX has done in 10 years.....and some of us are making money huh? Are any of you making near what any of the the top X-games sports guys are? No, you arent.

 

-1

i think ur wrong on that one

 

hey dude no offense but who are you??

 

i disagree.


LOTS of poeple like to see big jumps, cause they like to see BIG crashes.


now, someone hidsiding a circle isn't to bad, but if someone was doing a 60 MPH revlimiter coaster and thier clutch cable snapped....you bet your *** the crowd would be WAY into it.

 

watch the clip from the coverage in japan... when teach went down during that pretty quick stoppie the crowd sat still

 

maybe not that in a long time but it will go were some off us are not going to have to work

 

FMX has it roots in motocross, which has IT's roots in post world war 2 england.


the fame and sucess of FMX has to do with the fact that motocross racing was already starting to make it, when FMX came onto the scene.

FMX started as the racers just doing tricks if they won a race.

if you had a bunch of motoGP racers stunting F4i's after a race, you beat your *** stunting would be bigger.

 

lots of ppl like to see big jumps thank YOU petey thats it..

seein a streetbike doing a wheelie can be seen on teh streets, a dirtbike hittin up a ramp and doin backflips can only be seen at the xgames

 

dose it matter

 

and? dead crowd.


i've done/seen enough shows at dragstrips to know that POEPLE LIKE CRASHES.



anyone whose seen or heard it first hand knows, the crowd just ROARS.
