With all the hype behind this years winter Olympics in Sochie I almost forgot about the annual winter X-Games that takes place on the 2nd to last weekend each January.
In an almost predictable and emotional victory the games started off with Colton Moore (brother of Caleb Moore) who died in a horrible snowmobile accident doing a backflip last year.
With all the big name participants, Shaun White, Mark McMorris, Louie Vito, Bobby Brown, Torstine Horgmo etc etc attending for the men and Kelly Clark, Jamie Anderson, Silva Norendal Elaina Height etc etc for women this years X-Games appears to be the final stop and prep for the fortunate and talented who made it onto this years US Olympic team.
I dont care how much the technology has progressed in my day of doing a 360 (helicopter for old skoolers) seeming to be a monster trick the kinds of things these young kids are doing these days are of video game unbelievable in comprehension.
If you find yourself at home today and want to see what amazing things are going on tune in to ABC to watch the 2014 Winter X-Games and prepare to be amazed.
Kudos to all participants as even getting there is an amazing accomplishment.
