Rob's X Game Debut

The X Games are an annual competition of Xtreme sports like motocross, surfing, skateboarding, bmx biking etc. BMX biking has been part of the games for years but this is the first year they have had an event for 'street riders', which is the area where Rob has excelled. Rob was invited to attend and be part of just 12 men chosen from all over the country to compete in the first annual event.

Melissa just got a text message from Rob in Los Angeles at the X Games. He didn't ride very good...doesn't get to ride tomorrow.

The cards were seemed to be stacked against him this year. The person who invited him told him the wrong date. He should've traveled to LA 8/29 but he didn't fly until today, 8/30. Because of that he missed out on a day of practice at the park. He has also been struggling with back problems the past few months...seeing a chiropractor so it's on the mend...just not very strong.
