X-games
Easily the best thing in sports during the summer.
I always thoguht it was stupid but then I watched it for the first time and it was awesome. The skateboarding is easily the coolest stuff and the big jump is the best among those.

The skateboarding big air is absolutely amazing. It is absurd that these guys aren't recieving the respect/attention that they deserve. [/ QUOTE ] My dad and I agreed that it's the most impressive thing we've ever seen someone do in sports (that French-Canadian guy's big air run[PLG I think]). It's way more interesting than baseball (in terms of summer sports). Are there other times during the year when ESPN/other channels show skateboarding/other x-games type stuff?

Re: X-games
IIRC, it was something like a 360 w/ a trick and then a giant judo at the other end, but that's not what's impressive about it. What's impressive is that they travel down a high vertical, jump across a large canyon, land, and then go up a quarter-pipe and do another trick at like 20 feet and then land again. All of this on an instrument which I can barely maintain my balance on.

I enjoy watching this stuff, but I have trouble taking any of seriously since most of is decided by judges. [/ QUOTE ] Do you feel the same way about the Olympics?
