Rally cars in X-Games?

[Ruflyf]

Since when did x-games include rally cars? Btw Travis did the double back flip perfectly in motocross....the video is a must see if you havent yet.

Since the SCCA dumped Pro-Rally their new focus is on the entry-level to help build the sport. Part of that is increased support of rallycross and also some arena type events, with the X-Games as a primer to get people interested.

Unfortunately there are two bodies organizing pro-rally events in the US and it's hurting the sport rather than helping it, as they're splitting sponsors and resources. It's a real shame as rally is the most intense motor sport, yet most in this country have the inability to think outside the oval when it comes to racing.

And how about Colin, not wanting to be out done by the double back flip, throwing in his own single roll-punch the gas to cross the line! It was an exciting race between Colin and Travis.
