my friend took his jeep to a city park and tried to call it a game, he got a big bill and a few nights in the county jail lol. I would be down to drive to watch the rally comp and maybe check out some socal races. My friends cousin is down in riverside and races all night all the time.

it's not a game it's an X-GAME(sarcasm). very XTreme Duuuuude!

it's the same thing with MotoX you can't just go into a park and MotoX but it's in the X-games.

Ken did, but let's not forget Travis Pastrana, I expect his move to Rally had almost as much as anything to do with it, but to their credit- I know a lot of wheeling and dealing went on between Rally America and ESPN for this to happen.

Ken Block is the owner of DC shoes and he's been into Rally for a couple of years, Travis Pastrana is a world famous moto-x/X-games guy who also has been doing Rally for a couple of years. Both of them have contributed to the X-games/rally cross-pollenation-

But the credit for getting it on the X-games should go to Rally America, Ken and Travis are just competitors, no doubt they helped with connections and all, but the deal was struck by RA.

I haven't seen the x-show yet, but Pastrana is actually quite a good rally driver (of course, having a perfectly prepped car and the best codrivers in the world helps some ).

There is this hella funny clip of Pastrana flipping his car on a rally course, the part that cracks me up is about 10 seconds after the crash when all you hear is his redneck WWWAAAWWHOOOOO! It should be a commercial. Check it out, here's the link.
