Top Ten X-Games Moments

I'm Click James, bitch.

Personally, I'd go for either Hoffman's No-Handed 9, Hawk's 9, or Burnquist's absolutely insane vert run, because they were each moments where you just dropped everything and stood in awe.

Alas, thoughts, opinions?

The 900, mainly because it had the amazing build up of him failing at least a half dozen times, AND it had never been done before. Metzger's motocross back to back backflip combo is # 2 and Burnquist's near perfect run is my 3rd fave.

Honorable mention was some dude whose name escapes me nearly piledriving himself trying a triple backflip in rollerblade vert. That was just fucking hilarious.

Matt Lindenmuth was the guy. He's the reason double backflips are so popular in inline now.

Poor Matt, everybody looks toward Taig Kris and such, while Matt just nearly kills himself to pull off some wicked tricks.

And I can understand Hawk's 9 as the #1 choice. That moment seemed like skating at it's purest. People jamming and cheering one another one while having fun. It's all good, yo.

The 9. Enough said.
