i really wanna see a full quad freestyle event at the x games

i dont ever see quad freestyle at x games they already have bike freestyle that would draw a much bigger crowd, but i can see quad motocross/supercross happening in the next few years.

I think the supermoto would be cool but freestyle atving is dull if you compare it to the Dirtbikes...I am not putting any of those guys down.They have balls and skills and I like watchin it more than the dirtbike stuff. It's just that all the dirt bike guys can trick+flip multiple times in one run. When the atv guys can do that then I think they will have an x-games event. It will happen, I am hoping 2009. I would love to see it.

I believe it will be a pro only invite and some will MX pros as well as SMX and EDT Pros. Probably limit of 12-15 will be all that gets the invite.....

If they have quads in the super moto, who ever gets in hopefully does some freestyle anyways, then it will get more people interested.

just because bikes can do way more tricks than quads, doesnt mean people still arent gonna flip out wen they see it. look at sleds, they are about the same level as quads in freestyle tricks, definatly, and they are doing winter xgames. so you cant say they arent letting quads in because of the tricks, must be the resourses since only 8 people do it full time

maybe only 8 people do it full time, but im sure they could get around 10 guys to show up. they wouldnt even have to have a competition, it could be just kind of like a demo the first year or something. they could put them on the same course as the bikes, just put a wider ramp next to the bike ramps, and make the landings a little bit wider.

Sorry Freestyle is not going to happen at the 08 summer X-games. Quads are doing good to just to get to run the supermoto......they may not even get a spot on the espn show.

sum of you guys dont really understand how much exposure freestylers do get, i am making no predictions about xgames, just saying that more sponsors are taking notice of quad freestyle now, so maybe we will see new doors opening in the future..

Well I hope they make it in 2009 in the x-games. I think the supermoto this year would be a good step. With all the 450's coming out I can see there being enough interest

They thought they were so close to getting in, and nothing became of it. :(
