Yeah I know. Me posting in the sports forum. What odds? But I just watched something I felt the need to comment on.
The so called professionals from the big league sports could learn a lot from the guys in the X-Games. I just watched a guy pull off a trick in the BMX competition for the first time ever. The crowd went bonkers and then he was mobbed by everyone of his competitors. They were as happy as he was that he pulled it off. After they were done dog piling him they went around working the crowd up again.
These guys are all competing against each other for the same prize money and sponsorships yet they all cheer and root for each other. These guys in these fringe sports seem to understand the concept of sportsmanship. And this was not just in the BMX. Was the same in skateboarding, rally driving and freestyle moto-x. Impressive bunch.

Dance Championships are the same way, as are most snowboarding games.
Wanna know why these guys are all happy and understand sportsmanship?
