Best Tricks events pulled from X Games after death of snowmobiler
BRISTOL,[url=http://www.parajumpersjackenoutlet.de/]parajumpers jacken outlet[/url], Conn., March 14 () -- The Best Trick events, featuring Moto X and snowmobile athletes, have been removed from future X Games, ESPN announced.The decision follows the January death of Caleb Moore in the Snowmobile Best Trick competition in Aspen, Colo., said an ESPN spokesman whose name was not reported.Cancellation of the events is not directly linked to an investigation into Moore's death, the spokesman said."This decision was under consideration before Aspen, and, in fact, our review of snowmobile freestyle continues," he said.Moore died of heart and head injuries sustained when he under-rotated a back flip and was crushed by his snowmobile.The sports network said in a statement the decision to end the Best Trick events "reflects our decision to focus on motor sports disciplines which feature athletes who also compete in multiple, world-class competitions reflecting the highest degree of athlete participation, competitive development and the global nature of our X Games franchise."Freestyle motorsports competition will continue at the X Games, ESPN said.
