Asian Xgames

We have been really excited about this for the past couple of weeks, and were planning to make a weekend out of it.  Indulge in some western culture with "extreme" skateboarding, inline skating, bmxing and motocross.  We also had planned to meet someone we met in Zhuhai there.  None of it really worked out the way we had intended.  With the forecast suggesting rain all weekend our friend backed out, and we decided to just enjoy Friday's events.  Silly me - I read the website rules saying "no camera's unless you have a designated media pass", to my dismay everyone on the grounds was snapping photos of the contestants.  We also quickly learned that those competing seemed to lack more talent then those involved in the North American Xgames.  The only thing that truly impressed us was the motocross.  These guys on their bikes were pulling off supermen while doing a backflip (its just like it sounds, while doing a backflip the rider releases from his bike and just holds on to the back end). Really impressive stuff.

The weather was super amazing.. and we did enjoy getting out for the day.  However with the weather as nice as it was... Vincent didn't realize he brought screen to Shanghai until we got home and my skin tone resembled that of a lobster...
