X-Games Behind the Scenes

This past weekend the annual X-Games went down in Los Angeles. Here’s a quick behind the scenes look at the rally pits before the competition and the NOS Energy Drink afterparty. Formula D drivers Tanner Foust (2 Gold medals), Samuel Hubinette (Bronze in Super Rally), Andrew Comrie-Picard (bronze in rally), and Stephan Verdier (semi-finals in super rally) did a great job Saturday against the rest of the field of competitors including Kenny Brack, Dave Mirra, Ken Block, and Travis Pastrana.

The Rockstar Ford Fiestas took 1st and 2nd place in the Super Rally

Tanner’s Fiesta looks like a spaceship. Too bad these things don’t come in all-wheel drive turbo engines here in the US.

Inside the cockpit with Tanner. This was his expression after I asked him what all those buttons do.

ACP’s Mitsubishi EVO

Pastrana’s Subaru has some problems this weekend, but he did great overall at the X-Games on 2-wheels.

NOS Energy Drinks threw an afterparty for special guests hosted by sponsored driver Andrew Comrie-Picard. The venue was perfect with a skyline view of the Downtown Los Angeles. Food was served and drinks poured while guests were able to dance the night away (I filmed a few classic dance highlights that will be uploaded on my YouTube page soon).

About Fatlace

Born in 1999, Fatlace initially started as a blog about the elements of hip-hop, with roots in music, break dancing, and graffiti. In addition to the hip-hop lifestyle we grew up on, cars is a collective interest among the Fatlace family and inevitably was incorporated into our web site. Fast forward and Fatlace has evolved to what you see now, still continuing to grow.

At first, Fatlace in San Francisco's historic Japantown seems like your typical shop with dope beats, comfy sneaks and kids up to no good, but stay a while and you'll discover there's more to us than what is on the surface. You'll soon find out the diverseness within our team and the details that set us apart from the usual street boutique. Be sure to also check out Illest, our Los Angeles shop and if you can't make it out to either, there's always our online store where we carry all of our latest products.
