X-Games ... Lame

So I've basically held myself in my house watching this years X-Games in beautiful HD for the last 4 days. Did anyone catch the shitty-ass job done by team Subaru this year? Block totally blew it by skipping the jump and got disqualified and Pastrana, do to a stupid driving error, pinned himself between 2 barrier walls. Don't even get me started on Dave Mirra ....

The thing that pisses me off about Mirra is that it seems to me he is on the team just because of his name. Give me 30-40 hrs seat time in one of those SOA team cars and I know I could be more competitive then him.

I think that's with most of the x-games crap.
Rally just kind of got plopped in there, and the big name guys kind of do it ok.
I think you could take some local amatuer rally drivers from the PNW or elsewhere and they'd run circles around the big name guys.

Mirra was competing in Rally America Events though too. At least Pistrana can drive, Mirra just sucks, he usually just DNF's.

I'm still a fan of Block though. I can't lie.

there are drivers there that have beaten the local guys and they didnt do too hot either.
