X Games take a turn for the better

Travis Pastrana's double back flip on a motorcycle will be the defining moment of X Games 12 — a move rivaled only by Tony Hawk's 900-degree spin on a skateboard in 1999 as the defining moment in X Games history.

But the high-profile stunt was only one of several never-before-landed tricks during four days of competition that came to an end Sunday, and X Games 12 will surely go down as a turning point in the history of action sports.
