The X Games do all right, and they have things like motocross and snowmobile racing. They're their own thing, though, and, while entertaining in a "kids these days sure do some crazy stuff" kind of way, they sure aren't the Olympics. Nobody, to my knowledge, has ever seriously claimed that the X Games are about promoting international fellowship and the glory of sport. :)
