Icarus021 0 #1 August 19, 2002 Did they get rid of the skysurfing on the XGAMES, or am i just missing it? and They should consider a freefly tourny if nothing else? 3-2-1-cya 3-2-1-cya Don't take life too serious, you will never get out alive! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PLFXpert 0 #2 August 19, 2002 Yup, skydiving is gone from the X-games....I think they took it out right when I started AFF. That would be about 2 years ago. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nws01 0 #3 August 19, 2002 Skydiving is out of the X Games altogether. There are different threads on here if you do a search. Some people think Pond Swooping should be added and others feel that the sport is better off without all of the commercialization. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bbarnhouse 0 #4 August 19, 2002 There are also some that are working diligently to get skydiving back into X-Games. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Icarus021 0 #5 August 19, 2002 Granted those people jumping in MotoX have balls but whats better than doing 70mph surf and carving the blades? 3-2-1-cya Don't take life too serious, you will never get out alive! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PLFXpert 0 #6 August 19, 2002 Well, I wasn't involved in the threads discussing the idea of skydiving in the X-games...but my opinion, a little attention to our sport, couldn't hurt. When I wakeboarded, I enjoyed watching my friends on television. I also enjoyed all the freebies that go along w/ commericalization. Then again, not being commercialized kinda weeds out the idiots.

PLFXpert 0 #14 August 19, 2002 ha ha ha ha....nope, just supporting my investments...and trust me, the dividend is LARGER than i could spend on coffee beans and macchiatos. But enough about Starbucks....sheesh! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Icarus021 0 #15 August 19, 2002 So i guess the $120 a month is nothing then... Hey wanna buy me a new rig? 3-2-1-cya Don't take life too serious, you will never get out alive! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PLFXpert 0 #16 August 19, 2002 Nope, $120 IS SOMETHING...I realize it's ridiculous to spend that much on coffee a month...I'm a full-time student so most of my investments go towards bills and rent and more investments....I work simply for extras, like SKYDIVING and b-days gifts and other weekend fun. I figure, though, it's $120 a month going towards healthy bones since my macchiato is all milk and two shots of espresso. Otherwise, I'd never drink milk and I'd be falling asleep by 10 a.m. It's my one treat to myself, when it comes to all other groceries, it's publix brand or SAMS for me.

Clearly, you've never been to Tahoe. That's where the majority of canopies have corporate logos on them. Hmmm, don't like Red Bull? How about a Sobe canopy? No, well then how about...-- Tom Aiello Tom@SnakeRiverBASE.com SnakeRiverBASE.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
