Winter X12 Games
January 25th, 2008
The X Games are seriously one of the best things to watch on snow. Maybe better than the regular Olympics. But the only way it’s going to pass the Olympics is in popularity is with better commentators. This year… even as I watch, right now. These guys are AWFUL.. Worse than Joe Buck… and that’s saying something. I think it’s a good idea to put younger guys on, they know what they’re talking about, but somebody needs to go back to media training and having something interesting to say. At one point during the womens Big Air Snowboarding when the guy was talking to the Gold Medal winner Gretchen Bleiler, it looked more like he was trying to get her number than interview her and get her thoughts. Dude, what the crap!?!?!?!? Go home.. smoke your weed and leave the commentating to people who can keep it real. (read: professional)

X-games are cool, but why bore yourself with one discipline? I’m privileged to be a part of a nutty, but fantastic community. Check out http://www.ecoprimalquest.com/wp-primal/2007/09/25/blast-from-the-past-2006-opening-closing-ceremony-video/. Adventure Racers, especially at this level are amazing. SHAMELESS plug and solicitation: We still need volunteers for the Endorphin Fix 3 Day Adventure Race, held a little closer than MT, in WV this upcoming April. It’s a great way to get a front row seat to the sport of AR w/o the crowds or buying a ticket. You can read more via OARevents.com.
