X-Games Knockout

[dragon12]

OK, wtf are Levi and Tucker doing at the starting line? It sounds like they have the choke on because the sled is running rough and then they flip a switch and it cleans up and hauls the mail. They seem to have a huge power advantage over the field.

 

[AndrettiDog]

Huh? Are you referring to the drag'n button? The pop'n prior to taking off? That is just to warm the pipe to get HP.

 

[WatchThis!!!]

what channel?

 

[dragon12]

what channel?

ESPN 2. It is over now in our time zone (Colorado).

Must be. That is what I was referring to. Just wondering why the snow cross guys use them but Burandt, Parsons and the others didn't seem to be using them.

 

[plumnuts]

the button causes the engine to create heat into the pipe.. I think all of the race sleds have them now... Polaris was first. In the past we used to put them on a stand and pin the throttle to heat things up..

 

[k-dog]

Who won, and what is knockout?

 

[FollowMeNow]

Levalle won and knockout was the long distance jump

 

[TWISTER]

The x-games luv for levi is revolting. Looks like they finally put together something he can win. He is the most overated hack there has ever been, and i am fond of polaris. Ultimate PLP= Levi Lavalle at x-games.

second that.

 

[89sandman]

yea what a hack, he only beat burdandts longest jump with a 20 foot shorter run. don't know why they even had a jump off for the gold... he totally spanked the comp!

 

[Spud]

I agree about Levi, during the sno-x semi finals he was the only one being talked about and watched the whole race, while being in 5th or 6th place all race long?

 

[hatchers]

totally gay event

 

[SlednecksBrown]

That is the lamest event I've ever seen...but that's X Games for you. Next year they should have a shortest jump comp...

 

[Reese]

totally gay event

Agree 100%! That event did nothing to showcase a high level of skill or ability on the riders part. It was all clutching and motor.

 

[Steve D]

The x-games are a showcase of everything that's wrong with TV.

Exploit the everlasting crap out of something they think is popular (and so should we apparently!) and leave everything else to rot.

 

[ak]

the Squid levi sucks. I dont know why winter x likes this guy.

 

[Sledbrain2]

The best part was the guy yelling out the distant, I was at the edge of my seat waiting for the number! Levi just replaced Shawn Plamer from a few years ago who tried to win the most metals. They (espn) likes to make it much bigger an event than what it is. I think the x-games are losing their mojo I would not be surprised if next year it goes quietly away.

 

[snengineer]

I always thought a hillclimb would be cool on x-games

 

[AndrettiDog]

I was pissed that I DVR'd all of the x games and didn't get to see one minute of Sno Cross coverage. WTF? I even went online to ESPN to find results and they are all jacked up. They have the same results for all heats. But loan behold there is a video on what Shaun Whites goldfish is eating today.
