X GAMES 13 WRAP-UP! 2007
Another X Games has come and gone and without a doubt, it was one of the event’s all-time best! In the most-viewed X Games ever, Spy athletes not only brought home the medals, but were all over the television broadcasts and on EXPN.com.
The big winners were Jeremy “Twitch” Stenberg in Freestyle Moto, and Kevin Windham in the first-ever Moto X Racing event. Both Twitch and K-Dub pulled out their respective tricks to bring home the bronze— Twitch had a great run, but in a call that left many in disagreement with the judges, he was upset in the semi-finals by Nate Adams. In a nail-biting race for silver and bronze in Moto X Racing, Kevin bode his time until a well-timed pass of Chad Reed brought him home in third. Also in the Freestyle Moto semi-finals, Jeremy Lusk went for broke, attempting a Back Flip-Heart Attack-Indian Air, but under-rotated and exploded on the landing. He walked away, but was pushed just shy of a medal.
Danny Way, though sidelined by his fourth knee surgery, was the go-to commentator for all things Mega Ramp, and he had his own featured blog on EXPN called fittingly D's Nötz.
Not to be out-done, Jeremy McGrath broke it down in his own “Nackity Nac” blog, also on EXPN. McGrath had a busy X Games, competing in both the Moto X Step Up and in SuperMoto. MC finished out of the medals, but was seen everywhere appeasing audiences both at the signing table and in various on-camera appearances.
The dust has settled from X Games 13, but if you missed any of it or just are needing a fix, head on over to EXPN.com to re-live the madness!!!
