Right after Jeremy McGrath ran his last run, he stopped to talk to a guy. Am i the only one, or was that Jeremy Lusk?

I watched step up last night and although I was pulling for RC to win they should have given him the silver. Double gold is stupid.

I can't wait for supermoto with James Stewart (I bet he crashes 3-4 times) Burkhart FTW.

and Rally should be awesome, as usual. I got a feelin Ken Block is going to take it this year

Apparently Pastrana has a backflip 360 planned

Yeah it's a no-handed backflip 360. Which sounds completely crazy but if anyone can do it, it's Travis.

another thing: I can't watch the x games without my DVR.

I think I watched every second of action last nights 2 and a half hour show in 45 mins. I swear they have more ads than the infomercial channel.

Plus I get to skip the annoying announcers and seven replays.

Its called the Toilet Paper Roll. I believe he can pull it off. Here he is doing it in the foam pit. Its a crazy looking trick.

I believe somebody is going to try a front flip tonight too.

I would've liked to have seen Travis try that again. He is always pushing the bar and doing crazy tricks.

Anybody else a little dissapointed in the X games this year?
The supermoto course sucked, the rally races were anti-climactic (lots of DNF's) they gave a double gold for stepup and James Stewart didn't race.

all the things I was looking forward to were a let down.

Granted, the skateboard and BMX guys really brought it this year (big air, street, park and vert were all exciting)

I really liked the format skateboard and BMX street/park events.

Rally car seemed short. Block sucked it up and Pastrana almost had it. Deegan was on a roll too. I don't see how his pit crew couldn't get a turbo hose back on! But hey, i wasn't there.
Although, I did see Deegan almost cry in his car on his last race .
