Re: Stunting at X-games?

teach has a good point of riding at this level 10 yrs. ago. give it some time, we are still at infancy. we still have to support the sport for the future so younger generations can surpass in skill level. speaking of skills, the death spin is one of my favorite tricks i ve seen in a few years. oh yea xdl for life!!

Re: Stunting at X-games?

Ramps and jumps would be nice. If people saw sportbikes clearing gaps and grabbing air that would get some attention. Something else that would be interesting would be letting the bikes onto the skate and bike courses. If people could hit half-pipes and **** with stunt bikes that would be on tv QUICK.

The dirt guys have been taking bicycle tricks for years. If stunters started taking from other sports it would eventually get some tv time. If the dirt guys can do all the bicycle **** why can't stunters do moto ****.

Does anyone have clips of streetbikes on bike and skate courses?

Re: Stunting at X-games?

I was thinking about how they format the televised portions of the X Games, how they do one category of one sport, like FMX step up, then the next thing you see is like, big air skate...if stunting isn't presented in the format of two hours of various guys doing the same tricks, it probably will be exciting from start to finish.

for a potential new fan, watching an entire comp from start to finish might be a little overwhelming, it's a lot of repetition, but the X Games format seems to anticipate that and break up the action with different action. I am still hopeful but not as optimistic.

There are a few people who have been around a lot longer than I have, who seem to usually be right when they say something isn't going to happen. and they've been telling me for years it isn't going to happen with the x games.

Re: Stunting at X-games?

Im telling you the next level is coming. Just wait. Give us another year and they'll be knocking at our doors. Speed, Danger, Death, Noise, and Smoke! The perfect combination! Thanks for the props everyone. I appreciate it!

The danger is coming! I just hope our bodies can hold up until then

Stunt Cards


No Stunt Card, No Entry




Realistically, Stunt Wars and XDL would be a good place to start as far as qualifying goes.

Re: Stunting at X-games?

There's No reason why you Guys Couldnt Kill it in the X-Games.
Im a Huge "Stunt" Era fan and it has Evolved so Much since the Beggining.
Hell in the last 5 years the tricks and Combos just Got Insane.

there should Definetly be a "STREETBIKE FREESTYLE" segment on Summer
X-games, Just Write them.. Or Make this page a sticky and BUG the F*** out of them until they LET us In... $.02

Re: Stunting at X-games?

i predict they would take aspects of stunting i.e. sickest trick or longest endo, they dont want to do whole contst.
