Wakeboarding still part of X-games ?
 
Haven't seen wakboarding on TV for a long time, is it still part of the X-games? sometimes you can catch it in the Pacific NW on FuelTV but thats not very often...

Wow I remember hot summer nights on ESPN, that was awesome. I would love to see those episodes again.

gregg_rossi 07-20-2010 3:33 PM

that sucks, I had a feeling that it was gone. Thanks AJ, I will check out the PWT tonight.

gregg_rossi 07-20-2010 3:45 PM

andy_nintzel 07-20-2010 3:55 PM

COMCAST IS HORRIBLE. I HATE Direct TV but I have to have it for Fuel.

I have taped a few of the "hot summer nights" on VHS. Just have to find a VCR and I will throw them up on youtube.

Sweet, Thanks Alan. I will check that out today.

With the 2.0 system they will eventually get it back in, but with guys like travis pastrana having so much pull who knows when that will happen. Rally Car Racing....really?

adamsilcio 07-21-2010 9:48 AM

i just bought the pwt on itunes. i only have basic cable. out of the pond is on itunes as well for like $4

I would love to see the x games throw an event like Wake the Line or Red Bull Wake Lab

hyperlite 07-22-2010 1:23 PM

look out for a wakelab style event before anything. the boat is just too much money for espn to do. eventually it will be back.

When I first heard that wakeboarding was dropped from the x-games I was disappointed. The x-games now do nothing but aggravate me. I don't think they could kiss up to Shaun White or Travis Pastrana any harder. I am sure that the riders miss having a big event like the x-games because it offered them some good prize money, but the x-games are garbage now and as a fan I am glad its not a part of that worthless marketing exercise.
