Too many arm pumps after each trick for it to be taken seriously.

Ya, who started that crap. Yay flip, I'm going to reach out my arm like I'm cupping the judges balls for 10 seconds to make sure they realize I just did a sweet trick.

You're in a timed run, put the hammer down, fly around, make that dry pipe sing. Save all the ball cupping and arm pumps till the end.

That's one reason, here's a few more...

1) The fact that it's boring after a rider or two, you've see one BF variation you've seen them all.

2) No carnage. Crashing & Burning makes the spectators stayed glued to the action. Not that I want to see anyone get seriously hurt but there's a lot to be said when someone risks it all and eats crap. Even more impressive when they get up from things you thought would send someone to the morgue. The appearence of this sport on water gets no respect.

People an say the same thing about like BMX.... Once you seen a few of the backflips, you saw it alll... or once you see a spin... who the hell cares weather its a 540, or a 900??? Same thing with skateboarding, or anything along those lines.... to some, its stupid and the same stuff...
I think freestyle jetskiing/Speed and style would be great in X games...

Or GOLF... who the HELL cares how many swings it takes to get a stupid white ball into a tiny hole 400 yards away....

Surfing is a good example of a water sport with respect. Wave slash.... then another Wave shash..Wave slash.... then another Wave shash..Wave slash.... then another Wave shash..Wave slash.... then another Wave shash..Wave slash.... then another Wave shash..Wave slash.... then another Wave shash....
 
they are not gonna let us in just to do one trick. there needs to be several disciplines. We can't support that. Look at surfing... A hugely popular sport got canned from the Xgames after on year... Our sport just does not fit the mold, no matter how many times people bring up threads about it... It's just not gonna fly.
 
Sorry everyone...

Il have it deleted...

I have some connections to the people that put on X Games.

But if the people who are the sport cant even want it, then your all totally correct, It will never happen.

First thread ive seen about it. I think it could be a cool event. It would demand that riders step up the tricks that they pull off. Bigger motors, better ski's.

Id support it.

Jet skiing videos cant even get 2000 views on youtube, who would think it would even make it back on 1 one the 10 espn channels much less the x games.

It has been pitched before, possible demo deals, etc etc, no disrespect but it's been suggested and tried before by people with very good connections both to top riders and top people at ESPN and promoters with event experience and nothing ever happened.
