While creating a virtual space for X Games fans is a great idea, many fans are worried that they will not be able to enjoy the games as they would if they were there in person. Thankfully, there are lots of things you can do to make sure you enjoy these games while at home. For example, you could invite your friends around to enjoy the games with you or you could download some sports betting apps and place a bet on your favourite athlete. Both of these things would make the Winter X Games more exciting.
Not only that, but he is also a double gold-medallist and an eight times Winter-X Games medallist too. The Winter X Games is an extremely popular event, with thousands of people tuning in to watch their favourite athletes compete.

To further this quest, Konami created several modes in which you can ride in contests, go for a session in halfpipes, ride against the clock in time attacks, go for a little of both in trick and air attacks, and jam around for the fun of things in Free Ride. In this mode, players create their own snowboarder, with such selectable choices as rider, head, height, weight, name, and nickname.
Somewhat atypical, but there's more. You choose your equipment, boards, bindings, boots, jackets, pants, and goggles.
After that you get your board fit. You choose the board setting, your stance, the front angle, the back angle, and the board width. The details are quite impressive.
Once you have created a player, you then enter the most hilariously bigheaded, Japanese cartoon-like section that appears to have been snuck into this game.
On the outside, the game appears beautiful, polygonally lush, smooth and impressive. But in this little mode, your character transforms into a stick figure in a land of primitively animated 2D stick figures that wave their hands around and look silly.
The mode is absolutely cool, and just a little dopey. Once in, you walk up to the stick figures and talk to them, entering into contests, making movies for points and money, taking helicopter rides to distant locations, moving up in the rankings and forward in your career.
Needless to say, once you get the feel of it, this mode is not only deep and involving, it's just a little goofy, and we like that. Many of the moves are quite easy to pull off, but getting accustomed to the sim-like mechanics and slightly awkward control takes time and patience. For instance, if you have played Tony Hawk Pro Skater then you'll be familiar with the X button as the jump set up.
Triangle is for railslides, but Circle sets your board to carve, while Square minimizes the amount of air per jump, while helping to build up speed.
What's weird here is that most games don't differentiate between regular turns and carves. Here's where the game's actual realism gets in the way of the playing. Without much speed when you take a turn you'll slip sideways in the snow.
You won't dig in. That's just like in real life, but it's not that fun. Take this situation and place your boarder in the halfpipe and you are guaranteed pure annoyance.
Losing speed in this game is a very bad thing especially in a trick-based environment -- it's hard to get it back, but it's realistic. The half pipe and the courses themselves leave much to be desired in design.
These could have been designed much better than this. The actual trick system isn't too hard to learn. You may opt-out by clicking here. More From Forbes.

This is for the real life snowboarders, its more realistic.
