Asian Invasion: X-Games

About a week ago one of our friends gave us 4 free tickets to the Asian X Games. With nothing better to do on a Saturday morning, Emma, Kevin, Zoey, and I made our way out to watch the best alternative athletes in Asia as they skateboarded, rollerbladed, and jumped motorcycles. We poked around the grounds for a couple of hours and watched skateboarders do jumps on the halfpipe, rollerbladers zoom around their course, and extreme drink/food companies shamelessly promote their products (nothing like free shots of Mountain Dew!) I'd say that the two highlights for me were the motorcycle jumping (which was insane) and seeing how much change we could stick between Emma's toes (an astounding 8 RMB in 1 yuan coins and 8 RMB in jiao). Mostly though, it was really fun to relax and wander around the games. Here are some pictures!
