The Houston Chronicle’s movie reviewer describes the new X Games 3D movie as “over caffeinated” and the “a narrative that’s only slightly less zealous than a ShamWow infomercial”, but concedes that the visuals shot at the 2008 X Games make it totally worth the price of admission.



The film is basically an ad for ESPN, so take it with a grain of salt, and give it only what it’s due. You’re not there for the narrative - you’re there to see the ripping, grinding and total choreographed chaos that comes from the X Games.

Pro BMX legend Jamie Bestwick took a hard tumble and knocked himself out on a tailwhip 540, yet still managed to bring in the gold at the X Games 15 in Los Angeles on August 1. His two stellar runs prior to the wipeout were enough to keep him in first place. So despite being unconscious for the last moment of the competition, he still won.

His bag of magic tricks for the comp were alley-oop whips, a perfectly nailed nosedive tailwhip 5, opposite and regular flairs and consistent flow and style.

We here at All-Day wish to congratulate Jamie on his near-perfect performance. Here’s to a speedy recovery, dude.
