Notable:
Jim Burgess is the oldest Vert (two months older than Dennis McCoy) rider competing at XG VIII. He is a long time veteran of the sport, even though he doesn't hold any significant titles. Jim is consistent though and finished sixth overall in the HSA for 2002. After twenty years of hard work, Jim recently mastered the tailwhip and plans to unleash at XG.
