Sneaking Into The Xgames: Live Updates

**IT’S A WRAP, NO MORE NEW POSTS** Check the transcript:
I’ll be updating all day I guess, kind of an experiment. I was suppossed to have a photo pass but the credentials got all messed up. Anyway, just snuck into this thing, wow what a pain in the ass! Call up Boosh and ask to borrow his pass if you want to get in…

Boosh just told me he can sneak in seven beers onto the course no problem. “I can do it, there’s no turning back. I always say retarded shit, I don’t know what I’m talking about.”

photo

“You just have to be cool, man.”

photo

How you gonna be cool with seven cans of beer through that metal detector Boosh!??

Boosh got in, WTF? And I got kicked out, had to run into the stands.

Just walked passed some security muarks. Going through some weird tunnel in the bottom of Staples.

photo

This bro says I don’t have tunnel rat priveleges, he’s escorting me out.

photo

Oh awesome, I’m back talking to credential dude who said they still haven’t figured out my credential.

photo

What now? Big air starts in like 30 minutes. I got to see Jake cheat death last year, I really want him to win this bitch. I ain’t paying for an xgames ticket, that’s fo sho!

photo

Got denied in three lines, decided to try the tunnel again, I’m in! Holy shit Danny Way just slammed. Medical team checking him out. He’s okay! Whoa, Burnquist just did a frontflip.

photo

This is Danny Way’s 22 foot air after a backflip. They’re playing ultra dramtic footage about Jake Browns slam right now, violen tear strings stuff. Jake just did a perfect back 360 to perfect 20 foot mctwist, yeah jake! Jake’s workin’ on that 720 right now!

photo

These jumps count! Danny just knee slid out on his backflip. Pierre Luc kneeslide. Jake back 360 to 21 foot mctwist! Bob is up…. Ohhhhhh shit! Got off balance on a switch 3??? Stomach slide. Jake is the current points leader. iPhone battery getting low, I have to pee so bad. Andy mac just did a 360 judo to miss the judo air.

photo

Danny with a perfect backflip, to mctwist ooooooooohhhhhhhh no. Danny smacked his shin on the coping. Layed out at the flat. This isn’t good. Feet are moving… He’s up. This dude is nuts. I’m not sure he’ll be back after that. PLG just bailed a 360 kickflip mute. Jakes up…. Sweet firestarter music, missed the 360 ollie. Andy mac just did his 360 judo to quarter pipe judo. Wtf!?? Danny is back! Backflip… 19 foot melon mctwist! This guy has had like 20 surgeries, maniac terminator. Jake practicing that 360 ollie. ***Danny now in the lead with 90.33!

photo

I hits to go dudes, don’t trip, can hear the anouncer. Back in it, whoa! Bob just banged out that a switch back 180 kickflip to 20 foot mctwist. Jesus. Guess what, Bob is in first. Round 4 coming up!

photo

I think this is the dude that stole my credentials! And mac just did another judo spin to airwalk to something something bail. Pierre just landed a practice back 360 kickflip to big bro air… Right now it’s Burnquist in first, jake brown second, danny way third. Danny with a backflip to varial mctwist!! Ohhh he slammed on the roll away, otherwise that might have put him in first. Plg just missed his 360 kickflip mute, jake is up, missed the 720. Bob droppin in regs, misses that frontflip. Andy mac landed his thing he does… This is the fifth and final chance for these guys.

photo

Danny is up, backlflip over the gap to varial mctwist airwalk craze!! What was that? Word just in Danny might have a broken foot right now, like that would stop him. Way in first with a 94! Think that quarter pipe air was a varial
Mctwist boned out? That sounds so gay. PLg just bailed, Jake just missed that 720, one more jump for Bob. Switch back 180 to 20 foot backside 360 frontside grab fakie, wow. It’s official, first place to Bob B, second to D Way, third to Jake Brown.

All right dudes, it’s a wrap, check the tube for the action.
