Tonight, the X Games hosts the ever-exciting FMX best trick comp (with Pastrana!), an event that is by far the most exciting of the games for the sheer danger of it: the level these guys is on is ridiculous: If one guy lands a double backflip, then how do you win? By doing The Volt. Someone sticks the Volt? Better pull out the frontflip. It's absurdly dangerous.

So that is why it was nice to read about Brian Deegan's new venture in the New York Times this morning, the American Freestyle Motocross Association. When Cameron Sinclair crashed in Madrid at X Fighters several days ago, the insurance policy he had with AFMXA arranged for translators to help the doctors and helped defray the 190,000$ [sic] cost of his mediflight back to Melbourne, Australia. It's by far the most best and most-fitting tribute to Jeremy Lusk that Deegan could ever come up with.

Totino's Field Notes

Totino's Field Notes - Road to the 2010 US Open of Snowboarding. It's been an interesting year for Totino's team riders Danny Davis and Mason Aguirre. After starting strong in the Fall and early season, with great contest results at the Totino's Open in Breckenridge, both riders suffered injuries. Danny is out for the year, but Mason recently came back and plans to throw down at next week's US Open of Snowboarding in Stratton, VT.
