Replying to Are the X-Games still credible?

I'm just curious if anyone thinks that the X-games is still a credible competition anymore? I mean with 100% fan voting (big air), seemingly tie runs going to the higher profile athlete (halfpipe: shawn white vs. kevin pearce), and course layouts that test more the riders adaptability to a poorly planned course rather than their skills (slopestyle), do you think that doing well in the XG has as much value as it did a few years ago.

That being said, i still believe the XG are a huge value to our sport (and all action/winter sports) and love how much publicity skiing is getting in mainstream media. I'm just curious if people think that winning at winter X means as much as it did in the past.
