sounds like fun. I wonder if it was Travis Pastrana's <--sp? idea since he does rallying with the DC shoes owner, as seen in that ESPN tuner show?

I hate to name drop but the shop I worked at put a window in one of Travis' subarus that he rolled. Pretty cool.

wow.. thats kinda wierd.

why would they add a motorsport to an "extreme" sport type of venue?

[breakindrifts]

^ Have you watched WRC stages? That shit is more extreme than half the stuff they have on X Games.

[Kaji]

True that. I suppose they are trying to keep the same audience that eventually gets too old to continue skating, bmxing, blading, etc.

We know it's gone too far when a Subie catches alot of air on the course and the driver pulls out a "Superman Roof Scoop Grab" or something. :keke:

I thought it was cool when my friend kick flipped his CRX off a cliff.

of course ive seen the stuff.. but i dont think cars should be put in the same category as skateboards, bikes and rollerblades :confused:

am I the only one who could see "drifting" on the X-Games roster?

Its already being brought up, and from the look of some of the sponsors that x-games and drifting are starting to share it will become that.

Don't know if thats a good thing or a bad thing, but it won't stop me from doing it...

[Kn1ves]

^^^ Ur lying! We need proof!

[SimpleSexy180]

lol...its like all over limewire, streetfire...etc.

Yea, I think it's at Ebisu, I forgot what they call it, there is an X involved in the name somewhere. They did a similar thing at Irwindale this past year too iirc.

Big X. The video clip also has a Vert One-Via demo and a slalom around some spectators. Good stuff.
