http://expn.go.com/expn/summerx/2004/archive?id=1843519 - Top Ten X Games Moments

My favourite moment was: Metzger's Back-To-Back Backflips in Moto X freestyle
From 02' games, i played video clip over and over in disbelief 2 years ago.

Which moment scores high on your list?
Which events do you like to watch?

look for Travis Pastrana to win MTX freestyle gold again or get hurt trying.

Would this "big air" thing happen to be the thing I heard about on NPR today? Some type of 10 story drop? I had to leave for work but it sounded incredible!

1. Chuck Carothers lands the first Moto X body varial to win Best Trick.
2. Chuck Carothers broke new ground in FMX with his seat grab 360 body varial. Look close, he just let go of his bike, is about to do a full body varial, grab hold again and land his beast.
3. Third-place finisher Travis Pastrana laid down a one-handed 360 on his first go at the jump. With his seatgrab indian air backflip, Travis would have won if the judging was based on combined score.

Most guys were saving their best stuff for the Finals which is televised...
[hard to believe a backflip with seat grab only gets you third]

The rumour is Pastrana will pull a double backflip in Sunday's final off 52-foot gap off the super kicker....it will be a leap of faith going from a foam pit to actual dirt....these guys are really pushing the envelope!!
