Xgames 2012 - Day 4, The Climax

The final day at the XGames and once again it was the BMX crew giving me the biggest thrills. BMX big air was absolutely nuts! Defending champion Steve McCann pulls out a no-handed double front-flip leading into a double tail whip on his final run of the GoPro BMX Big Air competition pushing him into 1st. Insane...

The Rally Crew did not want to be left out though and with Travis Pastrana crashing for the second year running, it was left to World Rally Champion Sebastien Loeb to show the X racers why he is the king of rally. Ken Block held on with 3 laps to go and a flat rear tire to take the Silver.



How do you put Enduro inside a stadium? Xgames figured it out and Mike Brown won the Gold. This is pretty mental...

 

Ken Block launches 2012 Rally Car & Schedule

In a word, I am super "Amped", for 2012 and more of Ken Block's antics in his Ford Fiesta Rally Car. The man responsible for the now infamous "Gymkhana" videos and of course DC Shoes, will be taking on the World Rally Cross championship, Rally America, X Games and another Gymkhana World Tour. I am looking good for X Games and hope to meet the man while I am there. Never one to take himself to seriously, Ken launched the new cars with the help of comedian, Nic Swarsdon. Good to know Ken can laugh at himself...



 

On Board with Marcus Gronholm - Rally Cross at XGames 17

Rally Cross is the best addition to the XGames is a long time and this on board video of Marcus Gronholm, from XGames 17,  will show you why. I especially like how they have made the video look like a video game, as that's how it must feel to drive one of these Rally beasts! Yeeeew!
