I'm sure you watched this last night on the X-Games news. Gnarly, almost as gnarly is how fat the X-Games announcer's arms are. Sweet heart, lay off the Twinkies. Then they show that hick that they pulled out of some cow town that landed some double back flip onto foam 3 days before. The dude rolls in with a hockey jersey and some magic marker on it, pulls onto the drop in that he's never been down before and decides to "go for it" because it's the X-Gaymes. A place where the unimaginable happens. Chief lands on his head and miraculously walks away. Which brings me to this...these contests are being run with the athletes 100% responsible for their well being, while the network is raking in bank. There is no athlete association providing health coverage for life threatening injury's that are happening at these events. These boys sign their lives away just for a shot at the gold. Read about the gold Stephan Murray and Doug Henry are dealing with these days...
