what amazing things are in that footage that everyone is so stoked to see it? and why has it never been released?

they have done tricks yet to be done, and x-games didn't want to release it because it would rupture everyones' minds that watched it... already enough people have died from witnessing it live. let it rest along with all those poor souls that day. RIP

I saw it in person, it was 2007. I don't get all the hype either, they just did some zero's and small spins and they weren't all that stylish either, not like one of rainville's runs. Plus one if not both of them crashed.

Dude. You've seen what these guys do on backcountry booters.... Imagine what they'll do on perfectly manicured X-Games features. I heard the runs were completely ridiculous, and my contact at X said that it should be dropping sometime late first quarter of this year!

You should see the footy from X-Games... I've heard some pretty ridiculous things dude. Think: Frontflip, to backflip. One air.

Damn, you must have the seths. My buddy had his C-Bars with fire iridium lenses on and he lost sight in one eye permanently. Has to use a monocle now because it damaged his other eye so much.

Oh, he's stoked dude, but some people weren't as lucky. As skiierman said, its claimed lives.

Be safe kids.
