X-Games Knockout

They should bring back hillcross that they had a few years ago!
Very true. It makes it very difficult to even watch. How about giving the riders who actually win some mentions. Like when Levi wrecked in snocross, he was probably 30-45 seconds back from Tucker, mid pack and they basically say that should end his run to challenger tucker at the finish. Please.
Nice guys like Joe Parsons who quietly get the job done year after year barely even get a mention.

Hey guys,
I agree They should do hill cross. As far as the rest of you F-in D-bags, not a single one of you jack nuts could do anything close to what Levi does, or anybody else on the X-games. What are they suppose to do, show Tucker 45 seconds ahead of everybody all by himself toolin around the track? they were trying to show guys that were in some kind of battle for transfer spots and metal spots or just in the mix. We all new Levi wasn't going to win the snow cross, but he was in battles for transfer spots. and I really thought Chris would of beat him in the long jump, Ya it wasn't crazy exciting but I have seen worse.

definitely should bring back hillcross I remember the days with the mod hillcrossers runninin up the hill when I was younger it was the best event. In now way did knockout really showcase skill it basically showed who could get the most speed before the ramp and whose sled was running best. they should've gave them as much run in as they wanted and a large landing area.
Hillclimbing takes just as much skill as any event on X games imo.
Im for it

and for the way xgames picks their riders is retarded too. the two four wheeler kids were picked to ride before they had even been on a sled. they could do tricks, but they were extremely out of control, and not smooth. friends of mine like cody borchers, and ted culbertson have been trying like crap to get in, and all they are is alternates, and they are a heck of alot smoother, and codys whips are sick! and when levi couldnt move on to the finals, he should have been d'qd, and sam should have moved to third place and into the finals. whew sorry for the rant, im just annoyed at the way they are run.

You have to remember that X-Games is affiliated with Disney so there has to be a heartwarming story involved. What we, as snowmobilers, like means nothing to the general public. ESPN is putting on a show for the world. The brothers from Texas were a good story. As much as we hate what they put on tv, we are not the target audience. They are looking to catch the eyes of the general public as they are a larger group. The X-Games are based around a select few athletes, Shaun White ring a bell? I think he is an incredible talent, but dang I am tired of hearing about him.
I agree, it was also annoying that all they talked about during the knock out was how levi was going to win it. Who cares that malinowski and tucker just hit the big ramps for the first time in their life an hour before the event, or that Chris basically came out of x games retirement to enter the event and tear it up. Nope those things get a 5 second briefing then its back to licking Levi's butthole. I obviously couldnt do anything that levi can but it gets annoying when all they talk about is him and not some of the others guys that are more than likely better than him and mean more to the sport.....Like Tucker and Chris
