This marks the first time that a weekend is dedicated to a single X Games sport where six motocross disciplines are celebrated. ESPN and ESPN2 will air eight hours of live coverage of the Moto X World Championships April 12 and 13 – all available in high definition on ESPN HD and ESPN2 HD. Extensive additional coverage will be provided via ESPN360.com and EXPN.com.
Best TrickThe day belonged to Scott Murray as he stuck a near flawless double backflip, redeeming himself after his failed attempt at last summer’s X Games – his first professional competition. Despite all the buzz and two unsuccessful attempts from Kyle Loza with his new trick, “Electric Death,” it was Murray – only the second rider to successfully land a double backflip on dirt – who won gold with the high score of 95.08. “Everybody was bringing such big tricks,” said Murray. “The double backflip is two years old now, so I wanted to show everyone that I could do it. I first landed it on dirt in November 2007 and today was the second. I''m happy to have it over with.”
Thomas Pages of Biarritz, France took home the silver with a score of 92.60, while Todd Potter of Temecula, Calif. finished third with a 91.80.
