      Considering they haven't allowed fans to attend 3 years straight and you have to pay to watch it, no reason to advertise. It's a lose lose strategy so save the ad budget.

      I'd say more accurate is its changing the sport. Now they don't have to worry about a location that can handle that many people. Being a private event like that is probably much less legal hassle. You don't have to advertise at all either. Put it on youtube and build an audience and youtube will make sure its in people's faces. Idk I'd really love to go to an x games and didn't have plans to I feel sad I wouldn't have a chance to meet certain riders. I'm conflicted lol

      @@mctuble I think there's definitely value in the RUclips uploads for building an audience, but I saw nothing promoting the event. The only reason I was able to catch it this year is because I'm a religious FMX fan since I was a kid.
      There's definitely room to hold events in person with the success of Nitro Circus and Red Bulk X Fighters. I hope for the sake of the riders we can get something more energetic for next year, it's a bit depressing seeing how there's almost no one getting hyped for these insane runs

      @IIRaWTooNII 2 года назад +2

      In-person attendance was consistently going down for X-Games each year. Even before Covid, interest in X-Games just isn't what it used to be. Though it may get a fair bit of views (10-100s, but less than 1 million usually) they're just not going to be selling out arenas anymore. Extreme sports are far more interesting than traditional team sports in my opinion, but the popularity just isn't increasing with the level of progression we've seen over the years.

    • @stefanhaeussler821

      Problem is that back in the day it was super hard to catch up what new progression was being done until x games arrived every year. I remember watching it on t.v. super late at night, since social media did not exist. Now everything can be seen in a highlight on youtube, even new tricks so that takes out the emotion of it...

    The bad thing these tricks have come so far that the craziest tricks are routine now. They have taken it to the highest level and it all looks simple.

  • @krolik1157
    @krolik1157 2 года назад +20

    The backflip body varial last year was really sweet, but it looks like we might be getting close to the edge of how much innovation is left to be done on standard ramps with dirt landings. Heck, it's hard enough for the Nitro Circus guys to bring out NBDs on FMX, and they have mechanical ramps and resi landings.
    With the exception of the backflip body varial, a frontflip with minimal variation has been what gets gold at X games for YEARS now.

    • @Milokicks
      @Milokicks 2 года назад +4

      Yeah until Axell and Pat bring the upright 360s from the 110s to the big bikes or someone does consistent cork 7s it will be about the same.

    • @ihatevott
      @ihatevott 2 года назад +1

      Definitely agree, seems like the sport kind of hit a limit after everyone got their fronts and doubles consistently. That body varial last year from Rinaldo and his backflip Cali roll (?) we're the first new tricks I remember seeing at X Games since Pagés.

    • @krolik1157
      @krolik1157 2 года назад +1

      @@ihatevott Again, the future seems to be in what Nitro is doing with the front-flip ramps, larger ramps in general, and resi landings. We've already seen a double front flip and a front flip rock-solid in their best-trick competitions. But when you're talking about FMX innovation, the very real risk of serious injury or even death is always there. Bruce Cook tried to hit the first ever double frontflip at a Nitro Circus show, and ended up paralyzed for life.

    • @ihatevott
      @ihatevott 2 года назад

      @@krolik1157 I agree completely. I think X Games has put an artificial limit on what can be brought to competitions with the dirt landings and their selection of ramps. This year the 110 seemed like the odd ball and almost no one was using the half pipe. Nitro is definitely where the innovation is coming from but I don't see how much of it can transfer to X Games with the current format.
      The ideal place for FMX contests would be Pastranaland, maybe we can get a triple flip in contest.

    They should add a safety mat on the landing like nitro. It would allow these guys to take a bit more risk and continue innovating with less risk of death or great bodily harm. What these guys are doing now is so extreme, the sport cannot be taken to a new level without serious injury. Add a mat and allow these guys some forgiveness if they mess up.
    That's why the 00s we're so exciting. We were able to watch the sport evolve and grow because the tricks weren't as dangerous. Sure you didn't wanna to see a fall, but they were usually able to walk it off. With these new tricks, there is no walking it off and anything crazier is almost not even fun to watch knowing how dangerous it's getting.
