Out with a bang, bruise and fall
After chasing five days worth of X Games stories in crispy, old Vans, I have blisters on the backs of my heels so big I could tell the grocery store checker I have my own bags.
I have a credential-lanyard-shaped sunburn.
My laptop is giving me a Mozilla crash report every time I flip it open.
While on the trot to the media center I accidentally skipped my iPhone across the L.A. Live concrete like a flat rock on a still lake.
I have Red Bull breath. I have Red Bull goggles. I have extreme journalism carpel tunnel.
The icing on my cake came Friday afternoon on my way to the Staples Center when my dear Volkswagen was totaled in a five-car scrum on the 110 North. I missed my main event -- Women's Skate Street -- and now I feel like my person was recently dropped from great heights.
I wasn't, but a lot of people around here actually were.
Just another day at the X Games office.
I am living in the crucible of crash. When the TV commercials in the weeks leading up to Summer X 2011 warned, "It's about to get real," I should have taken heed.
Ashley Fiolek was unconscious for 20 seconds and suffered a concussion in Saturday's surly Moto X crash but still begged doctors, her parents and team managers to allow her to compete.
Marisa Dal Santo skated to her third Skate Street gold medal with a wrist brace halfway up her forearm.
Jessica Patterson lucklessly toppled on the fifth lap of her six-lap heat, dashing her hopes of a Moto X medal Saturday night.
Tarah Geiger took a tumble down the entrance ramp, off of her 250-pound Honda and into a barrel before she even touched the dirt of the Enduro track.
"I'm not sure how many times I fell, I lost count, but it felt like I tripped up over every single thing I came across," Gieger recounted in the moments after the race with sweat on her brow and an icepack to her left hip. "The course was so slippery. A lot of moisture came up and we were all over the place. But still that first fall down the ramp was the worst one of them all for me. The left side of my body is what hurts the most and that's from the start. I'm happy with the result. I am happy to walk away with anything after the way that got going for me."
They say it's not polite to ask a lady her weight, but by my estimates, T.G. tipped, tottered and was obliged to redress a mass of metal, that has about a hundred pounds on her, at least a dozen times.

“The team did a great job working hard and making the proper adjustments to get the car where I needed so that I could gain the speed for our qualifying laps. Once we were locked into the grid, I knew my focus needed to shift to the race on Sunday and

For super cars, this is how to have your cake and eat it too. Bentley is staunch about its legendary racing roots, no chauffeur required. Last week I rode in several models to reflect further on the transformative aspects of Bentley driving.
Since his magnificent last-lap win in Canada, he has suffered with an abysmally slow car in Valencia, a wheel nut coming off at Silverstone and a hydraulics failure in Germany. The Canadian victory brought a text from his racing hero, five times world
However, Filipe Albuquerque, Bert Longin and Stéphane Ortelli had other ideas, overtook car after car and finished the race in an almost sensational fourth overall. This was the icing on the cake for Audi Sport Team WRT which celebrated an important

If they liked the movie, they’ll love the cake even more! Fashioned after Lightning McQueen, the zippy celebrity from Disney/Pixar’s “Cars,” this aluminum cake pan features the low-riding racing speedster with a “95″ and lightning bolt logo, big eyes and happy smile, and lots of realistic accents including headlights and aerodynamic lines. Aluminum is an ideal material for baking cakes because it … Cars is a typical Disney-Pixar animated movie in that it deals with an anthropomorphic character (here, a car) and the heartwarming values of family and friendship. (Alas, we’ll have to wait a little while longer for the company to take on greed and selfishness.) The accompanying soundtrack is equally typical in that it’s split between catchy pop songs and a score by Randy Newman. The clear highli… Nothing succeeds like excess–at least that’s the case with Queen’s breakthrough classic, A Night at the Opera. On one level, the title is a reference to the band’s operatic pretensions, best in evidence here on the classic “Bohemian Rhapsody,” which was championed by headbangers a generation before being revived by the Wayne’s World set. Of course, A Night at the Opera was also the title of a Mar… Need a little extra light to feel secure at night? Then Lightning McQueen is at your service!

Ontario Puts Its Foot Down on Street Racing, Threatens to Crush Street Racing Cars Before They Hit the StreetsLooks like becoming another The Fast and the Furious wannabe would now entail more than just guts and skill.
In Canada, where trucker David Virgoe met his tragic death on Highway 400 after an accident allegedly caused by street racing, officials are putting down their foot and are now intent on getting tough on street racers.
Likening speed shops that make street racers to bomb factories or illegal drug labs, Attorney General Michael Bryant warns “juiced-up” cars could be seized and destroyed before even hitting the road.
“Just on the balance of probabilities if we can establish that a car is being used for the unlawful purpose of street racing, we will seize it and you will never see it again.
