Going to EXTREMES in Aspen

ASPEN, Colo., is no stranger to world-class events: It will be hosting the Winter X Games, which run Thursday through Jan. 28 at Buttermilk Mountain. Winter X, now in its 11th year, will draw more than 250 of the world's top athletes (including 28 Olympians) to compete in all things extreme, such as the ski superpipe, the snowboard half-pipe, mono skier X, snowmobile freestyle and the moto X (above).
The event becomes a swirling madhouse of athletes, music, parties and kids of all ages.

Here we see a NO HANDS BACKFLIP being executed.
Some people call it "Insanity for Fun."
