Saw it on the news last night. Man...that guy is fantastic...and a sicko!

He looked pretty gutted when Travis took the win. I wonder if he genuinely thought he had bettered his previous run of 40 points, cause after a long pause while the judges deliberated, he only got 39....and needed 40 to equal Travis.

In any case - outstanding effort.

Oh, and Travis did the double back flip on his last run so might have clinched it anyway.

So so close to beating Travis which would have been a pretty big upset! Great seeing him ride, I think Travis only really beat him because he pulled out the double back flip.

Great coverage on ESPN over the weekend.

I think Levi must be the first NZer 2 evn qualify for Xgames + he won a medal!!!

When Travis had won the gold he hadnt pulled the double backflip, Levi wasnt awarded enough points to force Travis to go all out in the last run, which a few people have raised eyebrows about. In saying that, had Levi forced a tie, Travis could have gone for a proper run and thrown the double back anyway.
Motox best trick was awesome as well, Cam Sinclaire winning with a double back flip after knocking himself into a 7 day coma at X fighters Madrid, doing the same trick, was an epic comeback for him, but IMO Robbie Maddison had a better trick with his volt(body 360) side saddle landing.
