I'm still waiting for the full 360 degree rotation, and I mean from left to right or vice versus! Not a flip!

I'm a little disappointed with the X-games so far. Other than Chuck, the moto-x jump thing has just turned into a backflip contest.

I also seems that skateboard half-pipe was kinda lame, almost everyone has had to bail. I remember in the past seeing contest with wilder trick and no one falling.

yeah i thought the skateboarding wasnt that good. the moto air is getting insane. guys were only getting 87-87 points with a double combo backflip.

i was trying to explain to my mom that they arent doing true 360's that they are just doing a cockeyed backflip.

its so hard to say if travis will pull the double on sunday. i would love to see it, but he will practically kill himself if he doesnt land it. and from watching him jump into the foam pit it looks super hard to land

I think he will try it,but the landing is going to be tough. The body roll was pretty sweet. Other than that the back flips are ok but they need more variations.

Todd:

The 360 has been pulled off, Pastrana pulled it off several times in practice already. He almost landed it at X last year, he landed on his feet but the bike went down.

Pastrana didnt do it 1st...Brian Deegan completed the first 360 last year.
