Are the X Games ONLY for Generation X and Y viewers?

January 27th, 2013 1 comment

Will you get weird looks if your younger and are just into Motocross of they are? Or is it all good?

Quote:

"The X Games is a commercial annual sports event, controlled and arranged by Disney-owned US sports broadcaster ESPN, which focuses on extreme Action Sports intended for Generation X and Generation Y viewers. The games started in 1995."

Does that mean that group of people strictly? Or can younger people enjoy the games as well?

Thanks.

No, but the sports in X-Games do cater to younger viewers. That’s a very important demographic for advertisers to reach, so they support the games. If X-Games was of little interest and no one watched it would fail, due to the lack of commercial support.

How can I persuade my parents to let me try motocross?

January 21st, 2013 1 comment

I am 18 years old and i reaaalllly want to try motocross. I’ve never really been into sports. But ever since i saw this movie called Motocrossed, I’ve been kinda obsessed about this sport. I think the okmw reason my parents don’t want me doing this sport is because they are afraid i’ll get hurt. i am also sort of a girly girl. I know i’m going to fall down but i’m ok with that. Any idea how i can get them to let me try it?

well it might take some rebellious actions but if you are 18, they cant control. yes the might fund your college payments or car payment or food. But get a job, save up enough money, buy a bike, and tell them. They might get pissed, but they cant just cut off all your funds or love for you just because you bought a bike with your own money. you worked hard for it

What action sport should I do?

I am 5"8
150 pounds
Lean
I’m really good at trail riding dirtbikes also I’m amazing at quads. I would try to do motocross but that’s one of the most costly sport out there. I’m good at snowboarding not great. I’m terrible at bmx (I eat shit) I don’t live in a great location for Action Sports bmx is big here but like I said I’m terrible.
Well what sport? I don’t have a lot of fear I hunt a lot play air soft paintball.

How about Mountain Biking…

my name is emily and i want to do a regular sport or an extreme sport or both as the question states. well i here is the list for norm sports: lacrosse, field hockey, and here is the list for extreme sports: motocross, skateboarding(apparently extreme), well yea so. suggestions will be welcomed. and if you need any answers lemme know! plz and thank you 🙂 also if you need a photo!

hey emily. The sport that would be totally cool for a girl to do would be skateboarding and motorcross. You already see girls doing field hockey and what not but not so much skateboard and do motorcross. I myself skateboard and love it. Been skating for almost 4 years this august. So i would go for motorcross/skateboarding. But remember there’s a price to pay when doing these sport. *HINT* bone crushing, skin splitting, and whatever else

To enjoy your extreme sport, is the risk element necessary?

November 16th, 2012 2 comments

1- If the risk of extreme sports like motocross and skydiving were somehow drastically reduced to the
point that they were about as dangerous as walking down the street, would they lose their appeal or
would the sensations you get from doing those sports be enough without the added adrenaline rush
that the fear of injury/death provides? (Answer for you personally).

2- What do you think would be a really fun extreme sport that does not yet exist?

1) Well i skateboard and i love the adrenaline rush i get from landing tricks! If it did become safer, i probably would still love it, my friends and i practically live at the skate park, and we have been going there almost everyday together since forever! so just the memories and scars is enough to keep me wanting more…

2) i think if they put some kind of rockets on unicycles and did like speed races or something, it be really cool, (LOL wow that’s random…)

Road to Loretta’s – No Time to Waste – Episode 8

July 31st, 2012 25 comments

Along the road to Loretta’s, riders are faced with increasing pressure. Week after week, the need to make it in becomes more urgent and more dangerous. This week Christina Older and Alex Frye converge on the Windy Hills Regional Championship in Ellerbe, NC, while Zach Fulkerson pursues his final shot for making the cut at Three Palms in Conroe, TX for the South-Central Youth Regional Qualifier. Still searching for qualifying positions, they were put to the ultimate test in racing. With one last shot to make it in, it was a do-or-die situation for our young hopefuls if they were to advance to the next stage of racing – the Amateur National Motocross Championship at Loretta Lynn’s.
