Has the X-Games jumped the shark? |
|
It's motocross dirt jumping that screwed it up for me. It's fine as exhibition, but as a sport? Give me a break. Probably the only thing that would save it is if they actually did jump sharks. :)
As for the other sports.. I like most of them, especially skateboarding and BMX vert, but I think they've reached the physical limit of what a human body can do. They're starting to push things far enough that they crash all the time. It's just not as fun to watch any more.

2. I've always hated the emphasis they put on vert skateboarding |
|
It's so boring to watch. Street is way more enjoyable.

3. I agree, street is amazing |

Real street. It's almost too bad it had to go commercial.
