She had the race won but her fist-pump did her in.

Proof that the meathead culture so prevalent among those that go to “the shore” is a bad thing. Wub wub is dangerous.

So, where does the "X" from X Games come from?
Sort of an honoific to the grunge generation or something? Games so stupid only the pierced ones give a damn?

Interesting cautionary tale.
I don’t understand how she won silver — the video shows she cut that turn and went thru the barrier after her ‘recovery’ ... ?

Reminds me of Lindsey Jacobellis at the 2006 Olympics - had the Gold in the bag, then lost it “showboating” before the finish line.

She tried to redeem herself at the 2010 Olympics, but finished 5th.

You can do that. I’ll have to save this for hubby in the morning— my plus 40 class racer on his Yamaha 250!

Whatever. It's not like It's a real sport or anything.

I think it’s to indicate eXtreme games.

I never understood it either. Just happened to marry a man that raced motocross who said it’s allowed when I asked.
