Better watch out there Tex, or that grass will PWN you.

The annual gathering of twenty-somethings has once again graced Los Angeles as a mad excuse to fly through the air, get drunk, and injure yourself like there's no tomorrow. That's right, the X Games are back, and people are constantly putting their lives on the line in the name of awesome, deep in downtown Los Angeles.

The once a year competition spans over four-or-so days, and it is composed of crazy people putting themselves in numerous situations to break their backs. In essence, it's a giant death trap that only the insanely lucky can make out alive! Some popular events include the Skateboard Big Air, wherein people fling themselves off a 40 foot ramp and try to spin around as many times as they can before landing. Along with that, many lunatics compete in motocross best trick, where you send yourself high in the air and do the most life-threatening combination of spins and flips possible. The person who has the most dangerous and exciting trick gets some sort of reward. A patten is emerging.

All of the near-death situations excite a very small portion of the American population, most of which are people in their late teens and early twenties who find getting injured a hobby. Generally, the tattoo-loving crowd groups together, cracks a few beers, and gets totally buzzed while they indulge in the viewing pleasure of people on bikes drop into large bowls of unforgiving cement.

The All "Extreme" Event includes: Skateboarding Vert, Street, Big Air, and Park, BMX Vert, Street, Big Air, and Park, Moto-X Freestyle, best Trick, Step Up, and Supercross; all of which are just as deadly as throwing yourself into a pile of razorblades.

Well, this post is sort of pointless as I have started writing it four days into the five-day-long competition. You probably wouldn't care regardless. Oh well.
