Anyone else see this year's event?
I don't follow it anymore, but I used to be a big fan of the X Games back when Pastrana was doing things nobody ever thought were possible.
It's crazy how fast these sports progress. At one time, a single backflip was the Holy Grail. 6 years later, Pastrana's double backflip was the pinnacle of the sport. Now, flips of all kinds are standard.
Came across this clip from this year's X Games:
The level of commitment to do something like that is through the roof. Fun to watch, for sure.
