Would stunting going to the x games ruin the sport
 

I dunno im confused on thiis one . getting in the games means we made it mainstream and all the top riders will make more money get better dealls ext and that would trickle down to the no pros, the bad side is all theys people my age 18-20 who dont love riding and have nevor ridden a streetbike are gunna go out have there mommy buy them the bike just like thw one they saw in the x games. then he will go on his first ride and kill himself. witch would not be good for our sport. Now b 4 u get on me about being 19 i got my 03 750 on sale in early 04 after saving since i was11 because i loved bikes i just wanna know everyone elses oppinion.

+1 The whole underground thing is exality what i have been saying. I used to be hardcore into street bmx and skateboarding, but as soon as the xgames hit and the whole bony cock games came around, i ended up dropping a sponsorship for bmx and dropped 2 sponsorships for skateboarding because it got to out of control.

Dont get me wrong, its good that the sport is growing, and getting better coverage to an extent. But were gonna have all the fashion whore kids that wanna be part of a fad, and get their parents and shit to buy them brand new stuff, and instantly they think they are hot shit, and think that they run the streets. It'll be interesting to see where it goes.

Even look at the fmx stuff. How many metal mulisha stickets, and how many FMX and no fear shirts, hats and all the kids who wear the flat brimmed hats, skate shoes and black knee socks trying to look like twitch and deegan? Now after you have that number, how many of those kids acually have ridden, or at least semi regularly "stunt" a dirt bike? Not a big majority....

I mean, No Fear stuff for fmx used to be a buy online, from a catalouge, and stuff like that. Now theres a store in the mall.... so does that mean, icon is gonna fire up a clothing store in the mall that sells a couple of helmets and gloves there? :2cents

When they say next years games are gonna have it do they mean, this summers xgames or next years?

who cares[/QUOTE]
why care because when that kid does kill himself his momy will be on tv saying how whats on tv caused it all and that would b very bad for our sport

Re: Would stunting going to the x games ruin the sport
 

is it a definite that it will be in the x games? im confused, is this a hypothetical question or is it regarding some kind of press release that said stuntriding was in?

THE STREETS WILL ALWAYS BE UNDERGROUND!

You got that shit everywhere though man.

I mean, some kid kills his parents, and blames it on grand theft auto.

Some kid burns his house down and blames it on Bevis and Butthead


In my game art and design class, i had to write an article on how video games influence people on a negative side.

My theory,

If NORMAL people, the majority of society (not dumbasses) were influenced by games, everyone would of been running around in black rooms, wearing yellow spandex, eating magical white balls, and running from ghosts when pacman came out.

Re: Would stunting going to the x games ruin the sport
 

so wait is stunting gonna be in the XGAMES?

Re: Would stunting going to the x games ruin the sport
 

this is what will happen that will piss me off. rich mommy and daddy are gonna buy their kid a blingin brand new cbr or gsxr etx. and then they are gonna think they are the total shit because they can power wheelie a 600/1000cc bike. look at me on my total beat up 636 that is running only due to zip ties and laugh at me. but i will still have the last laugh because when junior lays down his brand new bike its not gonna be too much bling bling anymore. just my :2cents.

i didnt mean it like when a kid kills some one and saysit was because of gta i ment that all the holister boy rich kids that dont know about out sport will see it and be like man that would get me some gurls, so he will go to his mommy and beg her and show her that there are theys guys doing it on tv ,so his momy goes and buys him his bike of choice and when theys kids start goin down and dieing that will ruin what it took to get were we are now.rember when no one wanted to sponsor us cuz it was 2 dangerous . sponsors will pull out and our sport could go right back to underground cuz evry corporation that is involved now will think they made a big mistake when they read the front page of their paper and it reads "18 year old dies in bike wreack after watching x games"

whats wrong with hollister? or being rich? or having mom buy you a bike if she can afford to? who gives a shit where it goes, who likes it, who doesnt. ride cuz you love to ride not because the "sport" is gonna go somewhere or not. ride out of love and everything else will fall into place.
