X Games 14

It isn't always pretty but it's always awesome! X Games 14 kicked off on Thursday with the skateboard Big Air competition at the Staples Center. It was a hectic but fun night. Thanks to all of our friends and family that came out to watch the event and support Ray and all the MegaRamp crew!

ANYWAY - Back to thursday night. Danny won the silver medal after injuring his foot on his first run. In case you missed it - Danny took a GNARLY fall when his foot caught the lip as he headed back onto the ramp. You can watch it here.  Luckily, he is ok! I call him a bionic man because basically hes not real. He can survive any slam, not only get up and walk away, but compete and win! He is amazing! 

Friday we were back at the Staples Center to watch the BMX riders compete on the MegaRamp in the Big Air competition. These guys are equally as nuts as the skaters. Shout out to Hovin who came out and hung out with us:

Hovin is a funny guy and if i could remember the hilarious story about him and stevie williams then i would tell it. guess you had to be there.

*view from the top of the ramp:

i would like to reiterate - these guys are NUTS! i would not even ride down this ramp on a potato sack.

Saturday we moved over to the Home Depot Center for moto, rally car and skateboard vert events. we were very lucky to have a suite there to escape the heat and watch all the action. Random celebrity spotting: audrina from the Hills and Popozao himself - KFED.

Here he is with my brother. HA HA HA:

Ray was super busy all day taking Danny from commentating to interviews etc. so i hung out and watched the events from the suite.

*Even Jameson came by to get in on the medal action:

On vert - our friend Pierre Luc Gagnon, PLG, won gold, beating out shaun white, bucky and andy macdonald and others. Even though Shaun White created and landed a new trick called the "armadillo" Pierre killed it and deserved to win. i am very happy for him! Pierre is the man. you can watch the contest here. 

*After he took the gold:

I skipped out on X Games on sunday because i was exhausted. i missed out on Tommy Lee hanging out in the suite with his sons. he invited everyone over to his house to party-oh well! All in all it was a great weekend of competition. i had a lot of fun and cant wait to do it again next year!
