<description><![CDATA[The first triple tailwhip on vert was attempted by Joe Johnson in 1989, and laid dormant until Santiago, Chile's own Francisco 'Coco' Zurita nailed it in the summer of 2007. There's a reason that the trick remained untouched for almost twenty years in the vert realm; it's an all or nothing commitment. "It's one of those tricks that could definitely kill you," says Zurita. Maybe it didn't actually kill Coco in the process, but it definitely sidelined him with a broken ankle during another go at the...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[The first 900 was pulled by Mat Hoffman on March 25, 1989. Five days later, Zack Warden was born. There might not be a direct relation between the two events, but it seems as though vert legend Mat Hoffman has had an influence on the lifestyle Zack has chosen to lead. At the young age of 8, Zack Warden was introduced to vert via the X Games. Astonished by Mat Hoffman's ability to take first place in vert with a broken foot, Zack picked up a bike and started riding in and around the St. Louis, MO...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Number four in our ongoing series of "Here's What The X Games Park Course Is Shaping Up To Look Like" includes an aerial view of the park, with concrete laid, Skatelite sections up top and a few builders desperately trying to shade themselves from the sun. I don't know about you, but those Jersey style barriers towards the bottom right look like they'd be awfully fun. Can we make it a full work week with updates from the park course? Check back tomorrow to find out. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I can't believe we're keeping this going three days strong now. We've got more X Games concrete park sneak peek photos. This one includes Sargeant Nate Wessel, the guy that helps coordinate what gets built and where at X Games. I guess we should also mention that Nate is a very awesome bike rider that's done some crazy stuff in his day. And all too often, that gets overlooked. (If you are a Wessel fan, you can always ride one of his signature Failure frames, which includes a bottle opener chainstay...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[We've got another sneak park of the park course. It's official, the concrete is getting poured as we speak, or type. And it looks pretty sweet. Keep checking back for more sneak peeks of the course as it slowly but surely comes together. We're only about two weeks away from the X Games now, so this thing is going to be taking shape quick. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Last week, we caught up with X Games builder Ryan Corrigan to learn about the rigors of building ramps ten hours a day in preparation for X Games. Continuing on with that theme, we've got a sneak peak of the park course, just prior to the concrete being laid down. What you can't tell from the photo is that there's next to no ozone above the Home Depot Center in L.A., so the sun is beating down hard on the crew. We'll hopefully have some more updates from the crew in the coming weeks, so be on the...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[On account of his beyond hectic travel schedule, I don't get to talk to Hoffman Bikes' Brad Simms nearly as much as I'd like to. Fortunately, Brad's been home in Maryland the past few weeks, readying himself for his next journey; Iraq and Kuwait for ten days. Along with fellow X Games athletes, skateborder Jen O'Brien, and snowboarders Nate Holland and Grete Eliassen, Brad is embarking on a ten-day journey to "Meet the troops and give them a chance to relax and think about something fun." He'll be...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Melbourne, Australia to Woodward, PA transplant Steve McCann doesn't consider himself a vert rider, but the rest of the pro vert class seems to have a different opinion. The 26-year-old has competed professionally for years on both dirt and park, but it wasn't until 2007 when McCann decided to give the vert ramp a competitive go. And give it a go he did. Now entering his third year in the competitive vert ranks, it's safe to say that Steve looks at home among the vert vets he rides with on a daily...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[While filming for Nike 6.0 in Germany yesterday, Mirraco's Harry Main broke his leg. No news on the specifics of the injury, but it looks like Harry is out of the running for riding in the Worlds this coming weekend, as well as the X Games next month. Harry was qualified to ride in X Games 15 Park, so it looks like we're headed to the alternates now. And alternate #1 for park is Van Homan. That means Van is going to be pulling double duty in the X Games this year between street and park. Here's to...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Ryan Corrigan is part of the esteemed crew of professionals that once a year, works for a solid month to get the X Games BMX courses up and running. Ryan's also been through the ringer as far as BMX goes. He's traveled all over the world, ridden for FBM for years and always seems to send me a postcard when he's off in some exotic location building ramps. Since the X Games are quickly approaching, I figured it would be a good time to catch up with Ryan and get a glimpse into the behind the scenes...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Earlier this week, I was lucky enough to catch up with Dennis Enarson before the heat of the opening Dew Tour Chicago got underway. What I learned was simple. Dennis may just be 18-years-old, but he's more mature than most 30-year-olds I know. And he's not too bad on a bike either. Dennis just finished up high school, and the future is looking good. But I'll shut up now. Read the profile and find out for yourself.Click here to check out Dennis Enarson's Unique Perspective.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Hello there X Games fan. How's it going? Can you believe it's been fifteen years of X Games already? I for one can't. Now I could take the old man route and say, "Well I can remember a time at X Games 1 in Providence, Rhode Island when Jay Miron won dirt," or I could simply say that it's been a long, strange road of awesome bike riding, gnarly progression and just the right amount of harsh bails on the mega ramp from Mat Hoffman (only one).That brings us to X Games 15. And BMX is back in a big way....]]></description>
