Here's your basic results page for the X Games X event. It was a little disappointing from my perspective. I think I watched a pretty dam boring vert finals. The finals took just under 2 1/2 hours (ridiculous) for a 10 person heat. It's the fucking live T.V. that made it drag on forever. I also watched a pretty weird street jam contest on the same day. Since I arrived late, for the street, I didn't manage to get a good spot to shoot photos at all, then had to deal with LAPD saying one thing and the Staples Center Staff saying another. The saving grace was the MotoX riders just getting more and more nuts on the motorcycles. Those Muther Fuckers killed it! Well, here are your results from day 1: (Isn't it kind of strange the main events are no longer the main events and relegated to a Thursday?)
