Yawn – they still are doing X-games? Didn’t x-treme anything die in 1995?
Alex
They’re still doing X Games (two of them actually: X Games and Winter X Games). The 2007 X Games in next week or something like that.

i dont care what anyone says about x games, a double backflip is impressive by any means ….
Anita
Jonno – I’m not as impressed … I do double backflips in my sleep.
Oh, and underwater. They need to add syncro swimming to the x-games. Maybe syncro swimming on motorcycles. Now THAT’S extreme.
In all seriousness though, that was pretty cool.

I was flipping through the channels on the day this took place and just happened to stay long enough on ESPN to see this happen. I didn’t know it had never been done before.

What are you guys talking about that was the sickest trick ever done FMX Freestyle history.
