Joe Parsons goes big in snowmobile freestyle at X Games

Ricky O'Donnell has covered basketball at all levels for more than a decade at SB Nation. He’s currently the Associate Director of Programming.

The X Games seem to get more gnarly with each and every passing year, and the start of the 2013 games is only reinforcing this. We’ve already seen Caleb Moore survive a terrifying crash during Thursday night’s snowmobile freestyle competition, and now Joe Parsons has stolen the show.

Parsons took the lead with the nifty maneuver you’ll see below. Four of five experts polled described this as ‘very rad’.
