I like this idea. For those of you who haven't heard of it, it is different events like Moto, BMX, Skiing, Boarding, Skateboarding, Agro Skating, stuff like that...people representing their country. It should be pretty sick!

the thing i don't like is their are only a few athletes per sport. for example skiing halfpipe will only have 10 or so people

They need more comps on TV, the X-Games isn't anygood, they should make a bluetorch/54321 show just for skiing.

May 15-18, 2003

World Regions:
Six teams defining world regions:

Asia
Australia
Canada
Europe
South America
USA

Format & Scoring:
Six world region teams made up of two athletes per world region competing in 11 different sport disciplines from six sport categories:

X Games Sports:

Moto X Freestyle
Bike Stunt Vert and Park
Skateboard Vert and Park
Aggressive In-line Skate Vert and Park

Winter X Games Sports:

They had a Global X preview on ESPN2 and they showed all the teams. I missed the US but all the skiers from Asia and Australia I've never heard of. Jon and Candide are representing Europe though. That'll be tough to beat.

the us will have a pretty strong halfpipe team with cr and tanner, but europe's got thovex and jon so i think it will go like this..
1st-europe
2nd-USA
3rd-canada

the asian riders are shoya okazuki and motoki shimomura. both are sponsered by salomon. if u can remember back when X had big air comp shimomura placed top 6 in that i think.

the werid thing is, pipe comps can be tottaly random, it doesnt take alot for a guy to learn a mad new skill, or get new specail skis and all of a suden be on the top, soo its really hard to guess who is going to win...

yea i can see that. but jon is so consistently smooth and perfect. i love tanner and all but personally i thought jon should have received second and tanner third at the x-game. but candide definitely deserve the gold.
