X Games is back in Aspen. 2015 is the 14th straight year X Games has been held in Aspen.   It's INSANE.  X Games Aspen is bigger and better than ever.

It's more than just an athletic competition...it's a life-style event.  In addtion to the skiing, snowboarding and snowmobiling...the musical line-up....welp, its insane.   Snoop Dogg, Chromeo, Skrillex and Wiz Khalifa are on the docket.

X Games Aspen: Money Booters

The final day of competition at X Games Aspen 2014 was so sick.  19 year old Indiana native, Nick Goepper went back to back in men's slop defending his crown.   Kaya Turski topped a stacked field to claim her 4th Gold in Women's slope.  Turski the Canadian Olympian had ACL surgery just 5 months ago and managed to be ready for X Games through hard work and determination.

In the sled sports Tucker Hibbert proved to be un-beatable for the 7th time in a row.  Adaptive rider Mike Schultz took home his fourth Gold in adaptive sno cross.

Danny Davis capped off X Games Aspen, 2014 with a super stylie run in men's snowboard super pipe to grab the Gold.  Davis, originally from Michigan, is stoked to be a U.S. Olympian and to represent the whole FRENDS CREW on top of the X Games podium.

So that's a wrap.  X Games Aspen is in the books for 2014.  We saw 7-peats, 5-peats 4-peats and more unusually...a few first time winners.   The international field provided a preview for the upcoming Olympics in Sochi, Russia and offered a glimpse into the next-gen of riding with some breakout performances from teenage riders who will be ready to dominate for years to come. 

Special thanks to everyone.

Colten Moore rides for Caleb, Wins Gold.

Colten Moore rode in memory of his brother Caleb who perished from injuries sustained last year in a snowmobile crash at Winter X Games in Aspen.   Colten pointed to the sky on numerous occasions and said it was like "riding with 2 athletes" on his way to the GOLD MEDAL in SNOWMOBILE FREESTYLE.

Colten Moore laid down the best run filled with sick tricks and HUGE amplitude to score 91.33 and take home the gold.  60 of his friends and family were on hand to show their support and to memorialize Caleb.
