Re: X-Games 2010
You live with your head buried in your ***?
The dealer that helps me out sells a ton of stunt videos to local "regular" riders. The local forum has a stunt section and even though I am the only one in my city they (a couple hundred) are all supportive and interested, when xdl was in indy for moto gp they all made plans to go watch. Non stunters are still on sport bikes and maybe you live a sheltered life and don't realize it but when someone can relate to something whether they actually do it or not they will be interested.

Yeah I bet!!!! And all one hundred will be watching the x-games, until they get bored watching people do circles and say **** it, just like Flatland BMX!!!!

Re: X-Games 2010
seen any top riders compete in 3 minutes lately? i prolly do circles for about 30 seconds total and most are not even the same size or speed. and if it was at X, it would prolly only be 90 seconds...pretty confident that there are a bunch of riders who can keep even YOUR attention for a mere 90 seconds!
still comparing it to flatland bmx?
haha, i think that issue's been addressed....not really thesame thing at all and there are distinctive differences.i love hate and pessimism, i think its funny...especially when you just keep reaching

Re: X-Games 2010
It's a losing argument I have my opinion and you have yours, I respect your riding ability and you knowledge, yet I still don't think this will ever be a legit leagal sport. When it hits it big as you guys think it will I guess I'll eat my words then. Oh and it's very close to flatland BMX, and there is alot of people who will agree with me.
It is NOTHING like flatland....

+1
Not taking anything away from flat land, it takes skill and looks sick. BUT IT IS NOT AN EXTREME SPORT! That's what Xgames is, EXTREME SPORTS!
How many BMX RIDERS watch FLAT LAND, compared to how many SPORT BIKE RIDERS watch STUNTING?
The general public likes NOISE and DANGER! I can guarantee you that there are WAY more people that would rather watch sport bike stunts, than a guy spin around on a bmx bike!

Re: X-Games 2010
Whatever, like I said it's a losing battle. When it goes big and actually has it's own section thats not a demo I'll eat my words.

Re: X-Games 2010
I think alot of people are going to eating there words soon because even getting a demo is a HUGE accomplishment and just proves that this sport is getting noticed....
