Wait... the X-Games are over? Didn't they just start? WTF EXPN? We blinked and all those underground athletes who flip their motorcycles and bmx bikes and skateboards are gone? Where was the parade through the city like the circus used to do? Where were the banners from the light poles? We knew more about King Tut being here than we did Shaun White & Co. More people talk about the rain when it appears...
