I just found out this kid Stevie Churchill from Bristol which is like 10 minutes from me is competing in BMX. It's so crazy when you see him riding so close to home and where he is at this point.

ESPN Interviewed him at Rockwell Skatepark in Bristol, here it is.

For real. anyoneon this website could have done better coverage of skiing and/or snowboarding thân him last year. the guy sounds like he just doesnt know what he's talking about, kind of like the Downdays News guy. IMO its as bad as that blond chick tryna talk about sports on sportsnation.

This. Crazy to see 11 year olds competing in the x-games, not to mention a large portion of the skate big air guys were 16 or younger.

The whips are still pretty insane though. And i don´t think best whip is the worst event to be judged by the fans. They´re all doing the same trick, after all. I couldn´t really care less, wont be able to vote anyways. I just wanna see someone tell physics to suck it!

Last year his whips sucked. The two French guys had their whips really tweaked out. People voted for the popular.

yeah were sitting here debating over whether they messed up or if its going to switch at the inning or something. I bet the majority of the viewers watching this game are waiting for xgames ha

Damn I'm not positive but considering how important TV coverage is for xgames, it sounds like they are literally going to wait for the game to end so at least we wont miss anything. and yeah you were right he just said last inning thank god
