Any X-Games folk?

My neighbors probably think I'm insane after seeing Pastrana land the double back flip again. Holy jeebus.

Gotta admit I'm kind of a poser when it comes to the X-Games, cause I just watch them whenever I realize they're on TV. But it's still exciting, lol.

I usually skip them but I'll be tuning in tomorrow for sure, just to watch Travis get SCHOOLED by Colin McRae.

Not to put Travis down, he is an awesome driver and truely one hell of a nice guy, but Colin is the man.

Travis does deserve his props though- , not to mention what a sick **** he is on a bike, a double back flip, too much- Travis is really an amazing guy, tomorrow will be fun to watch for sure!

Ha ha! I stand corrected, Colin chokes and crashes and Travis takes yet another X-games gold!

But my goddamned VCR didn't record it! I think its time to take that POS and toss it in the bay!

I watched it. It was pretty crazy. Colin tried to cut the jump short and missed. Blew the front tire off causing the car to roll. But it did land on the tires and he only lost about a second time wise. Enough for travis to win and him to get silver. It was pretty crazy.

I bought my car from Scott Putnam, co-driver for O'Sullivan in 4th place today! It's crazy meeting and hanging out with some of these Rally America guys at the different races. Just wish I could drive as well as they do.

I was there on Wed for the Gorman stages. Navved for Leon Styles in his MkI Escort as the 00 car. Any questions I can answer?
