Fantasy Freaks Rejoice, Summer Games are Here

By: Nate Hoppes

Fantasy Action Sports League has stepped up their game, developing The Summer Games (July 28th-Aug 1st) for the fantasy world. Now you can act like a Team Manager from your favorite companies like Red Bull, Oakley, and Nike 6.0 compiling the best team possible to represent at the Games. The object here is to select a team of athletes who will bring home the most medals.

It can be a little bit confusing on how to play so pay attention and you'll learn everything you need to know.

As Team manager, you get a salary cap of $100 million to select 8 team members as your "starting lineup" to compete in the Games. Choose a Starting Lineup for three different sports, (BMX,Motocross and Skate) which includes the various subcategories, for example Motocross has Moto Best Trick, Freestyle, Super X...You get the point there's a lot of sub categories for each sport.

The scoring is straight forward, the break down goes like this-
Gold - 100 pts
Silver - 90 pts
Bronze - 81 pts
4th - 73 pts
5th - 66 pts
6th - 60 pts
7th - 54 pts
8th - 49 pts
9th - 44 pts
10th - 40 pts

It's free to play with $500 in prizes up for grabs. For a complete breakdown on the cash prizes go to FASL.

***Important tips when selecting your team-

The Summer Games is the biggest stage most of the athletes compete on during the year, so in the past athletes with previous experience tend to do well. (ex. Kevin Robinson has competed at every X Games-Won Gold in BMX Big Air last year)

Choose an Athlete who is competing in multiple subcategories-(For example, Travis Pastrana is competing in 3 different motocross events and 2 rally car events) Do your homework, there's plenty of athletes competing in multiple events, normally when they compete in different events it's because there really good!

DO YOUR HOMEWORK-Check back to GrindTV all week leading into the Summer Games, there will be plenty of information on the various athletes to look for at the Summer Games.

Hurry and get your team selected, trading ends Thursday July 28th before the first competition starts.

Good Luck, I'll see you on the fantasy battlefield.

Steve McCann Wins BMX Big Air

Steve McCann Wins BMX Big Air

McCann throws solid run of double front to double whip to earn gold

Unfortunately, one of the best riders to do it on the mega ramp and last year's champion, Chad Kagy, came down hard on his leg and would only complete a run worthy of third place earning him the bronze medal. This made the race for gold quite exciting, however, as it seemed to be anyone's game with Kagy only completing a "safety run" (a run to secure a solid score, usually as a first run, to allow for a back-up score in case of not landing more difficult runs).

And so that race..
