    So whos watching the x-games on ABC? they started at 2pm.

    i just watch the first set of BMX freestyle, and its pretty awesome. Morgan Wade had a HUGE gap. cleared a solid 30ft.

    they just had a little rally "preview" and the SSS is coming up later in the show. i cant wait to see it. they have been talking it up inbetween events.

    the rally is on now. Its cool and all because i love watching rally. But the coverage is lamo they spend more time interviewing travis and talking to him more then they show the actual rally.

    ^ DITTO! that ws amazing Collin rolled his STi off the last jump, recovered before the dust even settled and was off! he was tenths of a second away from gold even AFTER the roll over! that guy is trully amazing.

    as travis said, he rolled it and he didnt even lose any time!

    How about fourth place by O'Sullivan and Scott Putnam from Bloomington Subaru? Not bad for one of the local guys!

    ^ Fourth is a great finish. just being able to compete there is a testament to your driving ability. the top 5 or so spots were very competive.

    i think this will DEFINATELY put Rally on the map in the USA. Also seeing all those STi's there wont hurt Subaru's image. :cough: NEW AD CAMPIAGN :cough:

    lol, i think that this X games was one fo the coolest things i have ever seen on tv.

    Yea, I thought it was great... they just needed more coverage of the other 8 stages. Gotta love all the Subies!

    I enjoyed it too....but it just seemed too "setup" for Pastrana to win.

    Colin McCrae should've destroyed everyone, but that would've made it boring.

    Yeah, you can really tell on the last super special stage who is a wrc driver and who isn't.
