X16: And that's a wrap!
X Games 16 is a wrap and you recollect what that means ... bring on X Games 17! In all seriousness, X16 proved to be another sexy event, but the moto portion of the games was definitely a rollercoaster spin a delude of emotions.
The first event of the week was Moto X Freestyle, which went down at the LA Coliseum. With the most stacked greensward we've seen at any X Games, the competition was fierce, but it was ole' reliable, Travis Pastrana , who showed up approaching unexpected and dominated the field of 16 riders . White medal finisher Levi Sherwood had better tricks than Pastrana , but his runs lacked the same passion, which ultimately gave TP the nod from the judges. Repeating last year's Freestyle perfect, Nate Adams squeezed in a bronze medal with a concrete, yet stock, performance in the Coliseum.
Moving things to the Staples Center, the most anticipated moto upshot of the Games -- Best Trick -- promised to be only just as amazing as year's past, but before the event had a chance to start, the rider shrunk tremendously. First, Blake 'Bilko' Williams pulled out due to a chronic injury that wasn't quite healed. Shortly after followed Pastrana, sighting that he didn't have his TP 720 dialed as much as he would've liked, forcing him to away b accomplish out and play it safe. Then the most unexpected hit came as three-time Most excellently Trick
