K so just watched all of yesterdays events...

First, White got ROBBED on vert.. I think the judges favored Gagnon to get the 3peat (3rd yr in a row winning, cuz it hasnt been done yet in skate vert)... lame.

Im not surpirsed that he dropped out of best trick lol, id be pissed too haha.


Then moto best trick... what was paris rosen thinking with that front flip attempt????? He was like already starting to come down to the landing and just started the rotation!
You can see a better view when they show the replay


Havnt found much info on how hes doing

Ok so they just played the skateboard vert again.. and watching it again, Gagnon fell at the end of the run where they gave him a 47! Wow.




Oh and they have an update on Rosen, dude is one lucky guy! Said something like a bruised lung, bruised hip and other small injuries like that... nothing broken tho! Said hes in good spirit, good to hear

Don't want to say too much since a lot of people aren't able to watch it right now, but I'm not a big fan of this stadium course at all.

Tanner Foust owns!

Yah those Fiesta cars seem to dominate at the x-games. Probably will win next year as well.

Really sucks for Subaru. Before it was Mitsubishi having all the problems and crashes, now it seems to be Subies

Agreed, the rally events sucked this year. Kinda boring.

I agree with everyone.. Rally sucked! Not even due to the fact of the subies having troubles.

The course was STUPID!

-You would think if almost half of the drivers we DQ'd due to going the wrong way, theres something wrong..
-The white subie should not have been able to roll on a turn like that...
-Who designs a course where two rally cars would be driving HEAD ON to each other??? There shouldnt even be a remote chance that they would ever go head on.

Havnt watched the super rally yet, but if it was ANYTHING like what I saw today, total fail.

With how much speed the cars gained on the initial entry ramp, how badly done the dirt was, and how sharp that first turn was, I was surprised only 1 car did roll.

Last time I watched X-games rally was when McRae was still racing. Why has it gone downhill since then?

Super rally sucked badly.

The idiot holding the checkered flag at the final round waved it one lap too early, which caused someone (don't want to spoil the ending for you) to do donuts, which caused the other cars to almost hit the guy at full speed after the turn.

Either way, course was crappy as well.
