X Games 2011

Winter X-Games 15 officially started today from Aspen, Colorado. As if I needed anymore reasons to like Colorado. The year I move here, the X-Games come back to where they began. Of course Colorado does have the best mountain range in the country in their backyard so I guess it's not that much of a coincidence. Either way I'm glad to know I can drive an hour and watch live extreme winter sports. I wonder if you can place bets on the events online. I would be willing to bet everything I have left on Shaun White to win gold in Half-Pipe. One thing I can't get into is freestyle snowmobile, or whatever the X-Games call it. It was cool to see a guy do a back flip on a snowmobile the first time. Now that's all they do. I'm sorry but until they come up with a tandem event where 2 guys backflip simultaneously onto the other guys snowmobile, I'm just not interested. With that said, everyone in the X-Games is crazy for what they are doing, and I respect every contestant. At what point will the ramps be big enough to say, "okay we don't need to go any bigger." HELLLO! Have fun watching and stay tuned for me to report winning $50 off Shaun White. Maybe I should just dedicate my life to being in the winter X-Games. Then again, maybe not. Happy watching.

Lane, Out!
