Every year X Games rolls around and I get excited because it's a weekend packed with Moto. Who you guys got for GOLD? Step Up: Matt Buyten upsets RC, McGrath, and Kdub to retake his gold. Best Whip: Josh Grant on a 2 Stroke. Stewart and Todd Potter are going to be tough. Supercross: James Stewart. Chad Reed's been riding outdoors and has a title to win, defending gold medalist Josh Hansen might turn some heads on his Pro Circuit Kawi. Supermoto: Jeff Ward. They say the dirt isn't going to be as technical, and you have to ride supermoto smoother so James won't make as much time there. Wardy definitely should have an advantage on the pavement. FMX: Mike Mason. Mr. Consistent. Best Trick: Someone who does something really really really crazy! Who are your picks?

Unfortuantly AUssie Sincs is out of contention after crashing his double flip. Heard he was planning a double flip combo. Best trick: TP if he rides out of the no handed backflip 360. SX: JS7 Whip:Renner? possibly Stewart. FMX: Go Maddo! Step Up: RC

Step Up: RC ..maybe renner if he steps his game up. Best Whip: Todd potter by far even though i love renners whips! Supermoto: I think im the only one that thinks James Stewart is going to be able to win this from the start. Everything else im just hoping for good competition! Cant wait! I couldnt have asked for a better way to finish the step up ahahha, I do wish one of them could have got the 35 feet mark though.

OK that was the most dissapointing Best Trick ever, haha. They all crashed out and BILKO should have won it hands down over loza, who wants to see the same trick win it 2 years in a row. Bilkos 360 combo was insane and never done before. The judges always downplay the 360 and it sucks!

loza's electric doom actually looks heaps better of the 45 im still in awe of that trick but in terms of innovation, bilko's indy 3 should of taken it. ESPN sold out and gave it to kyle to sell the whole 3 peat he def deserved 2nd tho
