Editors Note: This just in, James Stewart is out of X Games... DANG!
3:05 p.m. PST: James Stewart is out. Word at the supercross track at the Home Depot Center is that Stewart injured his shoulder during Supermoto seeding this morning and is done at X Games.
"He hit a hydro barrier, causing a deep contusion — no damage, no surgery needed," an XG15 moto official reports.
The collision with the hydro barrier — plastic, water filled walls used to delineate the course— occured late in the hour-long super moto seeding, or qualifying, session this morning. (In fact, Stewart, who had never raced Supermoto until these games, posted the third fastest qualifying time.)
"He just caught it with his shoulder. He never went down, but it was just enough to give him that pop," the moto official said.

Yep, that's a 125.
Where did we get these photos? If we told you we'd have to kill you. Well, maybe tickle you till you pee your pants. So what's so big about these photos of
Travis Pastrana playing around in Red Bull's foam pit? Well, let's take a look at the bike. If you know anything about two-strokes than you can clearly see that this is a 125. Why would Travis Pastrana be riding an insufficient and under-powered 125? Because they're light and easy to throw around, that's why.

Red Bull Toasted with
Travis Pastrana went down Tuesday night at the Avalon in Hollywood and it was one of the coolest moto-related events I've been to. If you've seen a traditional "Roast" on Comedy Central or elsewhere, then you understand what this kind of event is about. For those of you who haven't had the chance to see a roast (or a Toast in this case), it's basically a really ruthless way to honor a great and influential character, such as Travis Pastrana.

Maddo Down, But Not Out
Robbie Maddison is one tough dude

By: Ryan Leyba
Today during the first Freestyle Moto X practice, Robbie "Maddo" Maddison lost control of his bike while trying to pull what looked to be a standard no-handed flip. When a crash like this happens, it shows how easy these guys make it look on a daily basis, but how dangerous these trick really are. Luckily Maddo is alright and we should see him back out there for tomorrow's second practice.
Maddo, you are seriously a bad bad dude! Oh, and please don't pay attention to the cheesy-ass rock song. I don't know where the heck it came from, but it wasn't me...
Whip It Real Good
X Games whip practice Metal Mulisha style

Todd Potter proved he's got the whip to beat last year at X Games 14. To be quite honest we all knew he had it in him. Todd's got one of the meanest whips in the business. But don't forget about the lone Metal Mulisha racer Josh Grant. Josh has been killing it in the 450 class this year and shows us his text book finish line whip style out at the Metal Mulisha compound leading into X.

Metal Mulisha's Jackson Strong commits for life

The Metal Mulisha is all about farming contest killers. This is why Brian Deegan hand selected Aussie young gun Jackson Strong. Jacko's been putting in his time at the compound and recently he got his first taste of the needle, tattoo needle that is. Fellow teammate Todd Potter was chillin on the deck of the pit and was all about letting us know.
