fishuhalik Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 Really? Terrible riding aside, the xgames is doing an obstacle course now? Haven't watched it for a few years now, looks like it's going downhill fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rushing Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 I watched the men's race,was much much better. Did they just grab some random women out the audience and gave them bikes to ride? They are terrible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrklean Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 I like how the one chick didnt even make it down the ramp before she fell, FAIL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spearchucker Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 It is called Endurocross. It is kind of a new thing. I can't believe those were pro riders I or any of my kids could do better than any one of those women.The X Games gets a few good riders, but mostly it is all the riders that couldn't make it in motocross, so they do the X Games. They can party and do all the drugs they want and not have to worry about staying in shape for motocross. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pureinsanity Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Being I use to race supercross and motocross, I think you guys are giving these gals zero credit. Although I will admit I have seen pee wee riders look more skilled then this highlight reel, I think you under estimating the difficulty of the obstacles. I would pay to watch you guys do it and make the girls look like pros except for rushing, he has whizmical powers that just makes him good at whatever he does. its weird.

pureinsanity Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 plus besides the men's wasn't much better at all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hanson Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 You guys remember when the Summer X-Games was street luge, skysurfing, rock wall climbing, and others I've forgotten about?? I know I'm going back aways but the X-Games has been about some pretty obscure "extreme" sports that get their 5 minutes of fame. Some catch on... some don't.

pureinsanity Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Id say this event is harder then the motocross or supercross. Yes motoX and SuperX you have speed jumps and crashes. But it is extremely difficult to maneuver obstacles on a motorcycle. And the amount of abuse your body takes is crazy!I remember a guy telling me how nascar required more skill and endurance then motoX. I kindly invited him to come ride my bike on a track for 30 mins. They never showed up to the track lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spearchucker Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 I would say pro motocross racers are one of the top conditioned athletes along with soccer and hockey players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know how hard it is as I have ridden all my life. I have watched endurocross as well and just thought this wasn't a good example of it. I don't know if these X Games racers were the normal ones that race endurocross, but I expected them to be better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am the first to admit it was pretty lame and cheesy riding, But I have never done a "course" like that. But I have been on wooded trails, sand trails, gravel trails, woodchip trails, all which had trees, rocks, water features, jumps, ruts and everything else. It is not as easy as it looks. Anyone who thinks it is, go find a bike to ride for a day, and enjoy the next day moping around laying on the couch because you cant move.

spearchucker Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 Danbury? Up near that neck of the woods. Danbury is a mess right now. Trees down all over form the July 4th storms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's like saying golfers are in as good of shape as wide recievers, and that being good at call of duty takes just as much skill as being a SEAL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
