Best Trick was pretty damn nuts this year. Body varials, dub flip attempts, barhop flips and KOD Flips…who woulda ever thought that shit would be going down on dirt bikes?!! Well it’s happening, and now it’s the X Games’ job to judge all this madness and put it on national TV for all to see! Here’s what the Mulisha was doin’….
Jeremy Lusk probably threw the biggest seat grab flip ever and we think he got jacked a little on the score. Brian Deegan also went with a seat grab flip for his run, not quite as big as Lusk’s, but solid nonetheless. Twitch’s flip whips were more tweaked out and flat as ever seen before! Had he taken his hands off earlier on his flip Indian Air to no handed lander, who knows, he might have been shining medal right now?
Todd Potter came out swinging with his KOD flips. He said before his run that he wanted to throw his biggest look back ever! He did just that. Check the photo, you’ve never seen one so huge! That was good enough to tie Jones’ barhop flip for second place! But since they tied on their second run they used first run scores as a tie breaker and Potter ended up with Bronze. Bronze in his very first ever X Games event ain’t bad. “This is my first trophy I have ever got” said Potter of his new medal, “I have never even got a racing trophy!”
