Mind-blowing tricks are the backbone of action sports: Tony Hawk awed when he spun 900 degrees in the air off a skateboard ramp. Travis Pastrana shocked when heaved a motorbike over his head in a double flip. Josh Sheehan outdid him with a triple backflip.Organizers hope the next trick to shake up the world of action sports might be one of the approximately 60 new tricks to be showcased at the inaugural Nitro World Games this Saturday.The event was created by Mike Porra, CEO and creative director of Nitro Circus, a private action sports company that developed the MTV show of the same name. He had a hand from extreme sports icon Pastrana. The result is a three-hour competition that will take place on at Rice-Eccles Stadium in Salt Lake City and air in prime time on NBC.I feel like its going to be the most easily viewable, highly exciting show that has ever been for action sports that isnt just a show, Pastrana said. This is a world championship event. This is something that the guys are going to be going for the title of the worlds best and I feel like that will definitely inspire some of the craziest stuff youve ever seen.Porra and Pastrana want to create an X Games challenger and become known as the Action Sports Olympics.Seven gold medals will be awarded to the winners of BMX best trick, BMX triple hit, FMX, FMX best trick, skate best trick, inline best trick and scooter best trick. Athletes from 10 countries are coming to compete at the event.Skate legend Hawk and seven-time X Games snowboarding medalist Todd Richards will co-host along with Pastrana.Porra has been thinking about a world games competition for close to seven or eight years. On Saturday, Porra will finally see his vision come to life.The sport basically needs a total and complete revolution, theres no other word for it, Porra said. It needs to be turned on its head completely.Organizers believe putting the entertainment-value of competition ahead of the more technical and complex aspects of the sport will provide for a better viewing experience.About two years ago, Porra talked with Pastrana and together the pair was eager to create a new competition.We know how to do it. We know exactly what we have to do and we have the resources to do it, Porra said.Each event in the world championship will have a different format, but the overarching similarity is the simplicity to scoring the tricks.Each trick will have a point value out of 10 associated with its degree of difficulty. After the rider does that trick in competition, a panel of five judges will assign a score out of 10 to how well the rider executed that specific trick. The five scores are then averaged and multiplied by the degree of difficulty point value to get the final score for that trick.That makes it easier for the riders to understand what trick will get them enough points to win the competition or outdo a rival.Porra said he had to really fight for the scoring format change in the case of some of the riders.My only thing was we got to keep the core of action sports which is fun, excitement, innovation so with us two butting heads I think we came up with a really good strategy that is easy to watch, easy to view and a lot of fun for the athletes, said Pastrana, an 11-time X Games gold medalist said.I feel like people will be watching to see what goes down, what goes wrong, and like a train crash, you cant take your eyes off. Nike Air Max 270 Baratas Falsas . LOUIS -- Attorneys for the St. Zapatillas Air Max 95 Baratas . A forerunning sled crashed into the worker Thursday at the Sanki Sliding Center. The unidentified worker broke both legs and was airlifted to a nearby hospital. http://www.tiendasairmaxbaratas.com/zapatillas-air-max-plus.html .Y. -- Vancouver Canucks goaltender Roberto Luongo had little trouble picking up his first shutout of the season against a Buffalo Sabres team thats having trouble scoring goals. Nike Air Max TN Baratas . Aaron Harrison scored a 22 points for Kentucky (6-1), which has won four in a row following a Nov. 12 loss to current No. 1 Michigan State. Julius Randle overcame a scoreless first half and added his sixth double-double in as many games with 14 points and 10 rebounds. Air Max 1 Mujer Baratas . It was the kind of score that might make everyone else wonder which course he was playing. Except that Graeme McDowell saw the whole thing. Crouched behind the 10th green at Sheshan International, McDowell looked over at the powerful American and said, "Ive probably seen 18 of the best drives Ive seen all year in the last two days. Note: These power rankings are based off the last month of major events (any event with five of the top 10 teams) but will be weighted towards more recent results.NORTH AMERICA1. Kings of Urban Kings of Urban take the top spot in our first power rankings with impressive results over Exodus, Retrospect, Genesis, Lucky Bounce, and Goomba Squad. The Kings are the top seed for North America going into the Rocket League Championship Series Live Finals LAN, and if they continue this form it is not hard to see why. Player to watch: Jacob Jacob McDowell.2. Exodus Exodus is a top team in the world and a top team in North America, and yet its shoveled into the number two spot simply due to its inability to beat Kings of Urban. Going into the finals, Exodus certainly looks like a top contender from North America.3. iBUYPOWER COSMIC iBPs is the story of a team that has lost its best player, yet looks ready and confident to continue with a very high level of gameplay. Coming into the finals as a dark horse, iBP will need to make magic happen to cover the loss of Gambit from its roster. Player to watch: Cameron Kronovi Bills.4. Mock-it NA Mock-its North American Division seemed to be on a roll of sorts earlier this month with wins over nearly every single team in these rankings; however, its faltered recently with less-than-stellar results in the past couple of weeks. Still undeniably a top four team, Mock-it looks likely to be a top contender in any tournament.5. Genesis Genesis is the fourth and final team going to the International Finals from North America, but its had a small fall from grace since qualifying. Due to recent losses to Goomba, iBP, and Mock-it NA at tournaments like Rocket Royale, it placed just outside the top four in these rankings. As it is still an incredibly solid team, Genesis could rise back to the top at any time.6. Momentum Momentum is perhaps the most in-form team on the power rankings right now. Seemingly appearing from nowhere a month ago, it has taken the scene by storm with big wins over Lucky Bounce, Kings of Urban, Goomba, Retrospect, and iBP. Its record hasnt been spotless, however; its dropped some sets to teams ranked below it such as Goomba and 2EZ as well as some teams above it such as Exodus. Still, Momentum is the team to watch, and in the next edition of our rankings it could be vying for a top two spot. Player to watch: Chris Dappur Mendoza.7. Foresight Foresight as a team has had its ups and downs, and lately its been more down than up. With losses to Genesis and Exodus, it has only recently started to recover with a convincing win over Galleon (unlisted, ranked ~15th). If it racks up more losses to teams below them, it could quickly drop to a lower rating. If it can turn things around and continue its recovery, it could rocket up this list.8. Lucky Bounce Lucky Bounce had impressive results in the RLCS Qualifier 2 league play, and now its bringing that winning roster back together. The only reason this roster appears so low in the rankings is the teams as-yet-unproven form after the three-week hiatus the players took to explore their options as solo artists. Its highly likely that all three are better together as a band. Player to watch: Jacob Darkfire Gurrola.9. Goomba Squad With a recent win over Genesis and a win over Foresight and Momentum, Goomba has a solid claim for ninth place. That said, Goombas dropped sets against Momentum and Retrospect mean this spot could be a revolving door. Player to watch: Jesse Frezno25 Wentz.10. 2EZ Even with its troubles, 2EZ squeaks into thhese rankings due to Retrospects dissolution and the resulting void to be filled.dddddddddddd. It was in poor form in the latter end of the month, but there was some success earlier this month with a win over Momentum and Galleon. 2EZ will desperately need to improve to stay in these rankings, but for now it just makes it in.Europe1. Northern Gaming Northern Gaming looks like a ridiculously strong team, as in the last week it beat FlipSid3 4-0. The team is looking to be the favorite in the upcoming International Finals and with a high-pressure style it looks unlikely to be beaten for many weeks to come. Player to watch: Marius gReazy Ranheim.2. FlipSid3 Tactics FlipSid3 holds the second spot in these rankings due to its tight head-to-head win over Mock-it Europe 3-2. With that result it managed to secure second, but dont let it fool you; Flipsid3 is not close to We Dem Girlz at the moment and its holding onto this spot by the finest of margins.3. Mock-it EU Mock-it EU sees the opposite side of the coin from FlipSid3. Falling just short of second, it holds onto a comfortable number three spot. With would-be challengers Supersonic Avengers and The Flying Dutchmen losing to teams well below their standing in the power rankings, they really present little threat to Mock-it. Player to watch: Phillip Paschy90 Paschmeyer.4. Supersonic Avengers Supersonic Avengers have had some bad losses recently, particularly to Enjoy. However, considering their win over FlipSid3 in RLCS Qualifier 2 as well as their very close set vs We Dem Girlz, Supersonic Avengers look likely to hold this spot barring any major upsets by lower ranked teams. Again, though, the gap between them and the team above is very noticeable.5. The Flying Dutchmen The Flying Dutchmen are the fourth seed from Europe going into the International Finals and face a very tough matchup vs Kings of Urban. Losing to Cow Nose 2-1 is a very rough result for The Dutchmen, but they hope to bounce back at the International Finals and show that they can rise back to the top four. Player to watch: Jasper Vogan Van Riet.6. Enjoy Enjoy has taken down some of the top teams in recent weeks, including a win over Supersonic Avengers. With results like that it ends up sixth and looks to apply pressure on the Flying Dutchmen.7. Aeriality Aeriality has been steadily rising from a very low level of play in RLCS Qualifier 2. Nevertheless, it qualified for RLCS and competed, so there is nothing but upside for Aeriality as it looks to continue to rise up these ranks.8. Cow Nose Cow Nose is one of the best examples of how contentious the EU rankings are outside of the top three. With a recent 2-1 win over The Flying Dutchmen, it has shown its chops as a team capable of playing in the top 10 of Europe.9. Crown and Jewels Crown and Jewels have a roster that looks terrifying on paper, but just isnt quite there yet. When this roster builds, the synergy that players of this caliber can generate will truly be a force to be reckoned with. Look for this Crown and Jewels roster to slowly climb up these rankings in the future. Player to watch: Kyle Scrubkilla Robertson.10. Extatus Extatus is another roster that cannot really compete at the level of the top three but has shown recently that it can fight in the mosh pit that is Europes 4-10. If it can continue to take games off the teams around it, Extatus could start climbing towards those lofty heights above it soon. ' ' '
