Slammed Stomped 2008: X GAMES THROWBACK | World of X Games X Games 14 went down July 31 to August 3 in 2008. Throughout the greater Los Angeles area, from Staples Center to Home Depot Center, X Games brought the world’s best action sports athletes to the forefront of ESPN. New tricks were landed, new gold medals were handed out, and along the way, the week was riddled with stomps and slams of all types. Here, we take a look back at the 2008 Slammed, Stomped show, featuring Jamie Bestwick’s gold medal winning BMX Vert run, plus an array of slams from Skateboard and BMX Vert, Ryan Sheckler’s gold medal winning highlights from Skateboard Street, Skateboard Park Legends with Mike McGill and Tony Magnusson, SuperPark slam sessions, the return of Danny Way to Skateboard Big Air, Kyle Loza and the electric doom at Moto X Best Trick, plus Travis Pastrana’s gold medal win at RallyCross at Home Depot Center. Even though this feels like a lifetime ago, it’s noteworthy that many of the athletes featured within this show are still ripping, progressing and spreading the shred like no time has passed.
