I missed the X Games Best Trick contest last night because the Banquet team was being stalked by paparazzi at Mao's in Venice, but apparently while I was scarfing string beans and Mao's Delight and swigging ginger green tea and watching the guys outside test their light meters, Chris Cole did a double 360 flip and added 10G and another Gold medal to his X Games 13 haul. YouTube it here. It's pretty sick. In what will surely prove a source of great heckling material for all his friends and the upstanding core skaters over at Zero Skateboards, he responded by saying, "Winning cash is cool. Wait, no, that's a bad quote." I'm quoting directly from the ESPN press release here, folks: It is what it is.
