Mind-blowing tricks are the backbone of action sports: Tony Hawk awed when he spun 900 degrees in the air off a skateboard ramp. Travis Pastrana shocked when heaved a motorbike over his head in a double flip. Josh Sheehan outdid him with a triple backflip.Organizers hope the next trick to shake up the world of action sports might be one of the approximately 60 new tricks to be showcased at the inaugural Nitro World Games this Saturday.The event was created by Mike Porra, CEO and creative director of Nitro Circus, a private action sports company that developed the MTV show of the same name. He had a hand from extreme sports icon Pastrana. The result is a three-hour competition that will take place on at Rice-Eccles Stadium in Salt Lake City and air in prime time on NBC.I feel like its going to be the most easily viewable, highly exciting show that has ever been for action sports that isnt just a show, Pastrana said. This is a world championship event. This is something that the guys are going to be going for the title of the worlds best and I feel like that will definitely inspire some of the craziest stuff youve ever seen.Porra and Pastrana want to create an X Games challenger and become known as the Action Sports Olympics.Seven gold medals will be awarded to the winners of BMX best trick, BMX triple hit, FMX, FMX best trick, skate best trick, inline best trick and scooter best trick. Athletes from 10 countries are coming to compete at the event.Skate legend Hawk and seven-time X Games snowboarding medalist Todd Richards will co-host along with Pastrana.Porra has been thinking about a world games competition for close to seven or eight years. On Saturday, Porra will finally see his vision come to life.The sport basically needs a total and complete revolution, theres no other word for it, Porra said. It needs to be turned on its head completely.Organizers believe putting the entertainment-value of competition ahead of the more technical and complex aspects of the sport will provide for a better viewing experience.About two years ago, Porra talked with Pastrana and together the pair was eager to create a new competition.We know how to do it. We know exactly what we have to do and we have the resources to do it, Porra said.Each event in the world championship will have a different format, but the overarching similarity is the simplicity to scoring the tricks.Each trick will have a point value out of 10 associated with its degree of difficulty. After the rider does that trick in competition, a panel of five judges will assign a score out of 10 to how well the rider executed that specific trick. The five scores are then averaged and multiplied by the degree of difficulty point value to get the final score for that trick.That makes it easier for the riders to understand what trick will get them enough points to win the competition or outdo a rival.Porra said he had to really fight for the scoring format change in the case of some of the riders.My only thing was we got to keep the core of action sports which is fun, excitement, innovation so with us two butting heads I think we came up with a really good strategy that is easy to watch, easy to view and a lot of fun for the athletes, said Pastrana, an 11-time X Games gold medalist said.I feel like people will be watching to see what goes down, what goes wrong, and like a train crash, you cant take your eyes off. Alex Rodriguez Jersey . Gerald Green and Miles Plumlee? Green had bounced around the NBA when he wasnt playing overseas. The Pacers gave up on Plumlee after just one season. Now Green and Plumlee are key cogs in the Suns surprising breakout season.

Spiller left Week 3s 27-20 loss to the New York Jets with a thigh injury, but fully practiced with the team all week and expects to be ready to go on Sunday. Austin Romine Jersey . The head of USA Boxing came out swinging Tuesday with an open letter to Tyson -- a former Olympic hopeful himself -- that accuses the former heavyweight champion of trying to poach fighters who might be candidates for the U. Babe Ruth Jersey . Scott Kazmir allowed four hits in seven shutout innings, Michael Brantley hit a two-run homer in a three-run first inning and the Indians maintained their hold on an AL wild-card spot with a 4-1 win over the Houston Astros on Saturday night. Colorado is one victory away from finishing a worst-to-first season.If the ninth-ranked Buffaloes (9-2, 7-1) can defeat visiting No. 21 Utah in the final game of the regular season in Boulder on Saturday (7:30 p.m. ET, FOX), they will win the Pac-12 South, just one year after finishing last with a 1-8 conference mark.A victory by Utah (8-3, 5-3) means USC advances to the conference title game. The Trojans have finished league play at 7-2 and hold the head-to-head tiebreaker against Colorado.We are very happy to be in the position that we are in, said Buffaloes quarterback Sefo Liufau. Were very happy to be able to go out there and grind one out and get a good win.Colorado had lost 23 consecutive games to ranked foes before defeating No. 20 Washington State 38-24 last Saturday.We have something called the gold games and we have gold bricks, running back Phillip Lindsay said. So any time we beat a ranked team, we get a gold brick. This is our first time since weve been ranked that we get a gold brick so its a pretty big deal for us. Were excited and were happy and we have to continue to ride this wave and get ready for the next game.Utah was also in contention for the South title until it was upset 30-28 at home to Oregon on Saturday. The Utes will have to be on guard against an emotional letdown.Its a concern when you have an emotional game like that and it ends like it did with so much disappointment, said Utah coach Kyle Whittingham.There was a lot of frustration in our locker room, which was different than after the UW game (a 31-24 loss), where there was a lot of anger. This was frustrating. There is concern, but this team has shown the ability all year long to bounce back and play well, so we expect that.Two of Utahs seniors reached milestones last Saturday -- defensive Hunter Dimick set the programs career sack record with 29, and Joe Williams became the 13th Utah player to rush for at least 1,000 yards in a season -- despite missing five games due to a temporary retirement.When asked about the achievement, all that Williams coould say is: Colorado.ddddddddddddColorado and Utah joined the Pac-12 in 2011, but the Rumble in the Rockies -- something of a forced rivalry between the schools -- has never been for much in terms of real stakes. The Utes have been in contention for the South title late in the season, but the Buffaloes won a mere five conference games in their first five seasons.Colorado, which is 9-2 overall for the first time since 2001, has surged this season behind a veteran team and the steady play of Liufau. He became the second player in school history to throw for 300 yards and run for 100 when he had 345 passing yards and 108 rushing yards with three scores in the win over Washington State.The Buffaloes have no obvious week links.They can run the ball -- Phillip Lindsay has 1,051 rushing yards and a Pac-12 high 15 rushing touchdowns -- and they have the top-rated defense in the conference (322.4 yards per game allowed) and yields only 18.5 points per game, second in the league. Colorado has a plus-8 turnover margin on the season; linebacker Jimmie Gilbert has forced five fumbles.Utah counters with a stout defensive line, led by Dimick and defensive tackle Lowell Lotulelei, a first-round NFL Draft prospect. Marcus Williams is one of the nations top free safeties. But the Utes still allowed Oregon to run for 251 yards, while being burned for 324 passing yards by Ducks freshman quarterback Justin Herbert.Offensively, the Utes rely on Joe Williams and quarterback Troy Williams, who has thrown for 14 touchdowns with only five interceptions. He was solid last week in the loss to Oregon, going 20-of-30 for 235 yards, including a 30-yard touchdown pass. He also tallied 40 yards on 10 carries.Utah has won the last four in the series but can only be a spoiler as Colorado looks to go 6-0 at home and win the Pac-12 South.Our young men are performing well under pressure, coach Mike MacIntyre said. They dont get stressed out. ' ' '
