i dont see any "good" events in there. There's a few that are alright, and I'd definately watch if it was on, but i'm not shedding any tears because they'r gone.

I would rather have them have all those events and have none of the current ones, with the exception of the ski events. Like honestly, the x games fucking blow now. I used to love them, not I watch them a bit, but not really. I watch the skiing, but thats about it. Who remembers the triple big air skiboarding? It was so tight. And fuck all of you haters who just because the ski industry said it isn't cool think that too. rollerblading vert was one of the most exciting events in the entire thing. The Yasutoku bros from japan blew that shit up so hard. Okay call it "fruitbooting", but they threw the illest shit. I hate what they've done with the x games. FMX is boring as shit, and half of the tv air time is fmx. Thank god they cut out fmx from winter x

rollerblading, rock climbing, and wakeboarding were the biggest losses. And I'll admit I liked skyboarding a lot even if it was kinda pointless.

What I would like to see back:
Summer:
inline (it was cool to watch, the guys do insane tricks)
luge (it was my favorite thing to use in some X games racing game for PS1, and I miss it)
Winter:
Shovel (no explanation needed)
Snowblading (shit's hilarious)

they really need to bring back aggressive inline. That shit was off the hooks and it is soo huge. I dotn get why they cut that.

shovel racing was sick. they should have 2 categories tho. the modified one that they used to have, where you could build like a bobsledracecar and have just a corner of a shovel touching the snow, and a pure category, where all you get is a shovel of your choice.

as much as someone wants to hate on inline, its a thousand times more fun to watch than fucking SNOWMOBILING

i remember when i was a kid and watched that shit. and whenever fmx came on i just left. its sooo fucking boring. yeah its cool, but not as tite as inline skating. i thought flatland was cool too. all those events should be back up in my opinion. so many more would view the x-games too.
