Eat Like A Cro-Magnon Man
Watching all of that Skateboarding and Moto X works up a fierce hunger. Lucky for those festival-goers the many flavors of Texas were represented, including monster burritos and giant barbecue turkey legs.

Barber Shop
Too busy to schedule a trim? No problem, X Games Austin had you covered. While most guys (and some ladies) stopped in to the Barber Shop to take just a little off the bottom, some left with a cut a little more extreme.
