MTB is WAY underrated.  I am surprised they don't have DH in the current X Games.  Whatever floats ESPN's boat.  They really don't give a shit about action sports, they just want the millions of dollars X Games brings in.

true that dh would be sick in x games but you would have to do flips and shit to get points

I'm sorry, but a mix of slopestyle and DH would be really stupid.

the summer x is all about skating, i swear. and it is the gayest sport in the whole event imo, compare crashes from the last 2 nights between bmx mega ramp and skateboaring, its just lame.

They could still easily make a 4x or dual slalom course and a slopstyle course.

Xgames is pretty lame now. the mega ramp skateboarding is getting old. Those old fucks have been doing the same thing (360 to 540) for like 10 years. When is somebody gonna step and do something cool? They need to bring back a bunch of cool sports like wakeboarding, luge, bungee jumping, skydiving with snowboards on etc. and eliminate boring ones, i.e motorcycle racing.

Yeah, street luge is pretty gnarlly, but don't forget about the speed climbing.

There's tons in LA.  If they can take the time to go out to the foothills for Rally, then they could very easily do mtb in a place like Fontana.
