Winter X Games

Forget the half-pipes, moguls, and snowmobile jumps; this years extreme athletes are conquering the rocking caterpillar.Nothing says danger like the moment you go no-hands-on-the-handles, no-feet-on-the-ground with mom, dad, grandma, and grandpa looking on.

Action like this is not for the weak or the uncoordinated. Of course, Owen took a spill or two, but he bounced back up and went for more. I've always wondered how extreme athletes get started in their craft. Something tells me that Owen is starting to offer evidence.
