January 25, 2008 What a frenzy? A-Spin has been all over it. Tanner Hall won his 3 third straight Skier-Pipe Gold. He bested his pal Simon Dumont in the rubber match of their 5 set battle. Some in the crowd showed their displeasure with the judges' scores on Dumont's huge third and final run, but it's hard to dispute the greatness of T.Hall. He set an all-time X record with his 7th Gold. These guys were getting more than 20 feet out of the B-Milk pipe and hitting 1260's and 1080's like they were cake. Colby West dressed as Travis Bickle finished 3rd.

January 24, 2008 Big Air + Big Biz = ESPN's X-Games. For the 7th straight year Aspen is the site of Winter X, and we're locked in through 2010. Every year X gets bigger, better and more corporate. The swag alone must be worth millions. About 80,000 fans will bus themselves into B-Milk over the next 4 days to experience the games. Tune into ESPN on Jan 24th-27th to see all the action, LIVE.
You'll be eatin' popcorn and we'll be wearing the warmest possible foot-gear we can find. There are so many events, parties, concerts and promotions that we'll be workin' it full time in the FBC (four block core). Hopefully we'll survive the weekend.
