Daniel Bodin, Caleb and Colten Moore All Suffer Nasty Snowmobile Crashes at X-Games Aspen (Videos)
If there was an award for “most dangerous X-Games competition,” the Snowmobile Freestyle would look like an easy choice following last night's final at X-Games Aspen 2013. The competition, which consisted of only seven competitors, somehow managed to produce three horrifying crashes. We'll start with the least damaging, but nastiest looking crash of the three. It [...]

Toomas Heikkinen Involved in Terrifying Crash at X Games RallyCross Event (Video)
Rally car racing is already a motorsport prone to spectacular crashes, what with all those little Hyundais and Ford Fiestas all jacked up and zipping around bumpy dirt race courses.

The old expression goes, “don’t kick a man while he’s down.” But at the X Games, everything is more extreme. So there you don’t have to worry about being kicked while you’re down. You have to worry about being run over by your own bike while you’re down. Just ask Clinton Moore. The Australian motocross [...]

Tony Hawk Can Still Execute A 900 At The Age Of 43 (Video)
It is awfully incredible to see a 41-year-old Mariano Rivera close out games for the Yankees, or a 41-year-old Dwayne Roloson stop pucks for the Tampa Bay Lightning and lead them to the Western Conference semi-finals, but perhaps the most impressive feat accomplished by an athlete in their 40s came from Linkoping, Sweden.

X-Games Flasher Makes This 8-Year-Old’s Day (Video)
They call them the “X-Games” for a reason, but I don’t think this is why. Prior to the Moto Cross Speed & Style gold medal race, a few fans did their best to get the crowd going, and nothing gets the boys going quite like a pair of breasts on a beautiful female. Needless to [...]
