2 questions about X games in general, -What ever happened to wakeboarding? It has huge national following and some of most impressive tricks. It is a shame that ESPN choosed to ignore one of the nation's premier Xtreme sports. -Why the F is Rally Car part of the Xgames, unipressive and if i wanted to watch car racing I would suffer through NASCAR. Conclusion: Remove Rally Car and bring back Wakeboarding.

Hey ESPN quit adding likes to the badseed comment...we all know that 30 people don't agree that they will still watch or would watch to begin with...me thinks you just want people to see that comment as the top rated comment. When a story is clicked on the top rated comment always appears and god for bid if something negative appears first....even though your the KING of making a story appear negative!

Lolz @ all of the people that are only fans of mainstream sports. They show their ignorance once again. They are completely ignorant about the sports in the X Games. They don't know what it takes to compete in those sports even just at the amateur level. I will most likely watch the motocross event at the X Games but I'm not sure if I will watch the BMX or Skateboarding events. I still have respect for those athletes that compete, though. Mainstream athletes are all about they money now. Love of the game? Please. Love of the money and it's true. Except for athletes like Adrian Peterson who was going to honor his rookie contract until his team went to him. I like football and baseball, does that mean I need to be ignorant and say stuff that is not true about the X Games? No. I don't like or dislike Shaun White, but I'm fine with seeing him win because people won't like him just because he is on top. I like Kyle Loza and he gets the same treatment. Football, baseball, basketball, hockey, soccer, are all just games. Football- Toughest athletes on the planet? Please. A 5 second followed by a 40 second- 1 minute break? Try doing what these X Games athletes do without any breaks. Not to mention football players sit out from small injuries while X Games athletes continue to compete with worse injuries. Basketball- They jog around for a couple seconds to get down the court and then they just stand around. Soccer- Players jog around the whole time. Baseball- players stand around on the field and then they walk to the dugout to sit around. Hockey- Hockey is tough. One of the toughest sports. Much tougher than football. But, they also skate for 40 seconds- 1 minute and then they get a break for a couple of minutes. I know it's hard to skate like that but they still get breaks.

Dude, you probably read it and just don't have anything else to say because it proves how weak those mainstream sports are. What kind of sport doesn't allow the best players and athletes to compete? In football they want the tallest and heaviest players, not the best. Basketball they want the tallest. I can see height being a little more meaningful for basketball but Spudd Webb was good, wasn't he? They're prejudice against people with a certain height and weight. It's stupid. And they think they're tough? Yeah, a linebacker taking a cheap shot on a little wide out or running back is real tough...... Mainstream athletes can't to what they athletes do in the X Games.

Yeah I don't feel like skateboarding for enormous amounts of money anymore either. It's really stressful and I need a vacation from all of these people who melt when they see me. Just gets old, ya know.

Anyone who has competed in sports for any period in their life can understand the thrill of beating the best to be the best. Gagnon probably will be less pumped up for this because he knows the only guy that can beat him won't even be there. The victory is so much sweeter when there is a battle for the gold

No Shaun White...........No reason to watch X Games!!! Besides these guys have been doing the same exact runs for the last 5 years and the only thing different is the color of their T-Shirts. (Except Andy McDonald always wears yellow)

No offense to all the extreme people here but I hate having to avoid ESPN like the plague during X Games season. The least they could do is keep the entire thing on ESPN3.
