For my own choice I am going to write about the X games. Every year I look forward for the winter X games because I love watching all the events especially the snowboarding and snocross events. I have always loved winter and everything about it and I've been interested in the X games for a few years now. I love to watch the snowboarding events because I like to snowboard myself, even though I'm not that good, and I love Shaun White. Plus seeing all the tricks they can do is amazing and makes me motivated to one day get better. My favorite part of the winter X games though are the snocross events. I am very interested in snocross because my best friend has been racing snowmobiles since he was 5. Every weekend in the winter I spent going to his races and watching him compete. It’s such an exhilarating feeling watching all the guys race on these huge machines. It also gets your heart racing because the sport is very dangerous. At many races, people have been seriously injured yet the athletes keep competing because no matter how dangerous, it’s so much fun. This year at the X games they took away snocross racing though which was upsetting but they still have the snocross tricks events which is the best to watch. It is crazy to watch these people do amazing tricks on these huge snowmobiles that you wouldn't think is possible. They do tricks such as back flips, no handed tricks and much more. This year, one racer was supposed to do a trick that has never been done before on a snowmobile. Everyone watched in anticipation to see if he was going to do a front flip on the snowmobile considering how dangerous and difficult it was. But he did it. It was amazing to see just how he completed the trick. Every year winter comes around I can’t wait for the winter X games to see what new tricks the athletes are going to do.

I am terrified of snow/ice sports because I'm such a huge klutz, so the Xgames are crazy to me! But I do appreciate all that they do. It is awesome that you race on snowmobiles though. Sometime, you should include a link to one of your favorite snocross moments during the Xgames. I've never seen this sport and it sounds daring and exciting!
