I think you may be correct. I watched a lot of ESPN the last couple of weeks during the NBA eastern conference finals and do not seem to recall any promos or ads for the X games during the basketball games.

I've only seen one commercial for them. It was hanny ripping down a street and then throwing a whip on a kicker.

I see there's no moto X racing this year so I probably won't be watching. I might of checked out best whip if BC365 had been invited. Watching Hanny and Twitch do whips for 30 minutes just doesn't draw me in as viewer but yeah I did hear on pulp he might race 250's next year. He actually sounded pretty humbled and acknowledged he messed some things up so I hope he gives it another run.

I just realized they were this weekend yesterday, and I look forward to them every year! How the heck was anyone supposed to know about them if they didn't advertise it at all? I'm really looking forward to bmx dirt making a comeback, should be an awesome event all around.

His RMZ from last year was way better looking than the Kawi he is riding this year.

Boy this may be the beginning of the end for the x games.

Just skateboard, rally, BMX, and best dirt bike trick.

Barely 3 days worth. I remember 10 years ago it was away bigger than this, with at least 20 different events.

I think Xgames hit its peak in like 05ish? When they still went to the Home Depot center. They had moto X, Supermoto and FMX. All legit events. The last few years with Moto stuff in the staples center has been a huge letdown

I don't care what anyone says, that whip Hanny did to win last year was the baddest whip I've ever seen. Those crazy backwards whips that Q and McNeil do are awesome too. But that traditional whip that Hanny did last year was insane.

X games has lost a lot of its "coolness" when they started the whole world tour deal...when it was only 1 summer x games it was a lot more exciting...just my opinion Smile

Yea they are here in Austin this weekend. At the " Circuit of the America" track. This will all be outdoors. Interesting to see what the factor the wind will be.

There is a picture on Hansen's Instagram of a big motorhome with a Motosport.com logo. I wonder if that's where he will sick around for SX.
