anyone else thinkin this was the worst step up in X games? the bar was set to close to the lip and the riders nailed it almost every time. im not taking from Buyten's win, but its pretty bad when everyone gets knocked out at 25ft!!!

Yea I really hope they start moving the bar back away from the lip a little more. I want to see those guys get 30+ feet of air:cool:

jeremy was getting really really high, im sure most of those riders could get to 30' easy if the bar was back.

i think they should scoot it back 6" and let them do it again... can anyway say 35 ft. plus?

So is it just a miracle that Buyten cleared it easy? Maybe it was just the riders? Pretty wierd how one rider can clear it like nothing but one messes up and they say the bar is too close for all the riders. I'm not saying it wasn't too close, which it was I think. Not by much but it was. Still impressive these guys are basically hitting a vertical jump and going 23+ feet.

Who hear saw Deegan's bike and thinks that he has some of the most sickest ever made! The orange and black one was tight, but this one with Jesus and Mary is just sweet! Props to West Coast.

^^^yeah deffinetly a sick bike. i assume it was airbrushed on, or at lest it looks like it. Deegan seemed to be having some clutch problems when he was competiting. lol, he dumped it his first try at 23ft or whatever.:D

It was was pretty cool when Buyten whipped it at 23ft height for the win. Other than that it there was nothing too exciting.

That landing was unforgiving... You come up a little bit short on it and its gonna hurt.
