X GAMES: things got already real!

A new version of the X Games is taking place at Los Angeles, California, and finally this year we can enjoy every single minute of the worldwide extreme sports olimpics. The organization has provided a livestream podcast, which one is available in every part of the globe, and entirely for free!

Yesterday we got the chance to enjoy the skateboarding mega ramp semi final, which was finally won by the living legend Bob Burnquist. The amount of new competitors that have joined this X Games edition is amazing, but the fact that they are just a bunch of kids that do not the 15 years, has blown the judges minds.

By now, enjoy the cast!

Travis Rice: Lib Tech Pro Model out there!

                         
This board is known to all lovers of the mountain as the perfect board for anyone who has a medium-high snowboard and likes to enjoy the mountain in all its versions. Regarding last year's model which is new to consider a new measure is 150 cm. than those who are lower and do not have many legs comes to hair as the 153 cm was the smallest measure of the year, which sometimes seems a little bit wide for kids or women.

As technology and materials is the same as last year. You know the best materials you can put a table in this price and manufacturing already famous by the best builders. In another design again TRAVIS RICE and MIKE PARILLO are exceeded, to me personally is that I like best of all created so far. Being aware that the LIB-TECH boards are not created by a group of designers, is a unique artist who takes care of it and it shows in their designs.
