Matt Dove trashed the games after being accused of being a cry baby, Tony and Andy took the vert double and 14 year-old Dallas Friday was the Queen of Wakeboarding. Here's a look inside the 2001 X-Games in Philadelphia.
Tony Hawk was given second for landing a 900. After the competition, Bob said Matt cried his way to the gold while Matt accused the X-Games of "making money off skaters and not giving anything back." The latest word has the top skaters talking of forming their own union.
Tony Hawk also made headlines at the Games by taking the gold in the Double Vert event with partner, Andy MacDonald. The gold in the first ever Skateboard Street event went to Rick McCrank. The event took place on the steps of Philadelphia's city hall - it's the first time the police have allowed skateboarding there.
a video game was an official event at the Summer X-games. Andrew Lerner of New York won the X Gamers Challenge for his series of virtual ollies and tailgrabs in X Games Skateboarding for the PlayStation 2.
