Re: Stunting In X-games
i believe if stuntin enters x-games the fan base will explode and you will see more places opening there doors to let riders practice on the property, the tricks will evolve ten times faster and more and more talented riders will emerge. freestyle motocross started around the same time as stunting and look what x-games did for that sport so stop thinking negative and see the positive.

Re: Stunting In X-games
What's all this "stunting will be owned by espn/Mt. Dew" ??? Why would it be owned? Ok, so they basically take a once a year stunt competition and televise it. What's gonna happen? Well, as someone already said, they are gonna find out that "Stunting is a riders sport, not a spectator sport", and they will find out that few people are going to tune in and they will most likely drop the coverage of it. Or, it's gonna be televised, but, they are going to televise like a half hour show once in a while, on OLN (outdoor life Network) like they do with Paintball.
Also, you folks who wouldn't want espn to "own" stunting... You are saying that because stunting would be televised once a year you wouldn't be able to go out and nail the streets/parkinglot, because espn ruined it for you? GET OVER IT. Do you not go out and play football, baseball, basketball, or hockey anymore? because ESPN ruined it?

it defenitly fits into the scene of x-games... look at flatland bike... same thing but its way more fun to watch people do it on a motorcycles... x-games is known for trying out new sports... look at the winter down hill mountain biking...lougeing(spelled worng)... moto high jump... moto x big air just got on like 4 years ago and now its HUGE.. theyre down for trying out new xtreme sports... people just have to push sponsors into talking to them...
and if you truly love the sport of stunting... how could you be upset if it got more mainstream... so what if theres a bunch of young kids out there all of a sudden... it doesnt matter if your 16 or 30.. whoevers got the skill deserves the respect...anything that brings more people to a sport makes the sport better because you get new styles, tricks and creativity..
i think it would be awsome... people just need to start pushing things.. things dont happen on there own.. the people invovled in the sport have to make things happen

There are more skate parks all over this country from outdoor parks to large parks in malls across America because of what X-Games has done for skateboarding. No I don't skate anymore, but back when i did (about 15 years ago) there wasn't **** and you could get arrested for rolling around on a piece of wood with wheels. Do I want to see this happened to stunting, not particularly but skateboarding was around for many years before X-Games got it's mitts on it and you know what it'll be around long after, as will stunting once it goes mainsteam. It's only a matter of time.
