OK here's what I think would make all the X Games better for the viewers, the sports and the network (ESPN).
Divide the X Games into three different events, Winter, Summer and Moto X which would take place in the fall or spring. Take all the motor events and move them to Moto X. This would free up air time to add more coverage on skiing and snowboarding for the winter x games, and free up more time for those guys to do backflips on sleds. more people who cared like us would watch it all and add ad revenue for the whole thing. Add a big mountain comp (it's stupid they dont have one already), maybe a tree skiing comp of some sort, an urban rail jam, maybe a red bull type big mountain cold rush thing or like the K2 back 9 in bounds style. make all these for men, women, ski and snowboard. You could ad more new events for the summer and moto X Games too. Finally, show every run and treat it like a sport and not a reality tv show, maybe follow other comps and have X center year round once a week. I just think this would help all the sports and show every aspect that the olympics do not to give it a more well rounded show.
Also video edits of kids on newschoolers (and similar sites for the other sports) with commentary should be how they find their new play by play guys because, mike douglas excluded those guys are idiots. Plus that would be a sweet contest and I would definitely enter it.
That being said X Games this year has been much better than the years of hayden christiansen and texting who wins. I also like how they cut down the competitors and have a session format and that is much better than it was too, but they should show all the qualifiers.
Whatever, do you guys think that shit would be better or what?
