Chad Kagy Breaks Collarbone
While riding a practice session for Big Air at X Games 13, Chad Kagy crashed on a double-tailwhip-flip over the gap resulting in a broke collarbone. This means that Chad will not be able to ride at all in the contest, so he will not have a chance to defend his X Games vert title. Event organizer Mat Hoffman reported that John Parker would be flying in to take Kagy’s spot in the contest.
On a side note, Hoffman is planning to ride in the Big Air contest at the X Games. Matt said that he just plans to chill and have fun, but this means that the world will get to see the originator of the big air in action.
