Message: [QUOTE="WR 250, post: 254196, member: 17697"] I've gotta go along with Jaybird. I believe most of the events are staged. Only thing is my experience is with snowmobile freestyle (Go figure I'm in Alaska), but the venues are basically the same. I base my opinion on the experience my brother-in-law had during the 2000 Winter Gravity Games. In this event they debuted snowmobile freestyle for the first time and the participants were made up of the the guys who filmed for the Slednecks video. It wasn't like the group of riders competed for a chance to be in the event, rather the video producers set it up in conjunction with NBC. You would have thought the riders worked their way up though the ranks or something similar to organized racing. It wasn't the case. It was simply about promoting the names of the participants to gain exposure for the Slednecks video and Fox Racing. WWF is a good analogy of FMX. [/QUOTE]
