X Games by way of Photo (and Villopoto)

Here are some photos from the recent Winter X Games.  The crew was fresh off a grand adventure in California riding at AMA Supercross points leader Ryan Villopotos house.  Phil tried to remember how to snowskate, Kwandy brought his “black leg”, and Binz snapped some pics to share with all of you.  Enjoyment for the eyeballs…

Fresh from the Cali sun to the Aspen snow!

Midwest Open=great success!

The 2nd annual 2010 Midwest Open was great success and enjoyed by 40-some shredders and superb action in every class! Let’s just say two shredtastic skate stompers from Phil’s hometown of Elkhorn felt all too comfortable being close to home taking the Expert and Amateur wins.

2010 X Games Snowskate Results

1. Alan Gerlach

2. Phil Smage

3. Justin Roleau

 

Smagical shredders and Ambition Snowskates riders Alan Gerlach and Phil Smage take the top spots at the FUSE Snowskate sponsored X Games 14.  Honorable mentions go out to Justin R. for killing it, and Max Hilty for coming out of “retirement” to claim 3rd in Best Trick.  A huge shout out to Smagical Stars Ross Martin and Doug Henry.  Ross came from a second row start to claim 2nd in Snowcross behind Tucker Hibbert, while Doug made his return to racing a good one with a 3rd in Adaptive SnowX!  Good job to all the riders repping the goat!
