Christian (left) made it all the way through the DDR rounds till he finally lost his first match to Sarah, who had dropped to the bottom bracket in an earlier round.
Since they had both lost once, they dueled a 2nd time on the song "Dive" on "Standard". It was very very close, and here, they are waiting for their final scores to see who the overall winner would be.
Moments after, Sarah is declared the overall DDR champ!
Samuel (left) and Michael (red hat) battle it out like Federer and Nadel in the final, 5-game tennis match.
With a rocket of an ace, Samuel captures our first Wii Tennis tourney and congratulates Michael on an excellent match.
Samuel poses with his "racquet" after caputering the XRGames Tennis title.
After his recent win on the grass courts, Samuel has to battle Jake in the semi-finals of the "Thrilla in Redlands". Alas, he is not able to carry his win over to this match as Jake comes out with arms flashing and too much fire power, propelling him to victory and the final match.
"Announcing the maaaaaain event, the final boxing match between Michael and Jake. Let's get ready to ruuummmmmble!" Staffer Mike announces in his best ringside voice.
Jake puts up a valiant fight, but after having just fought a hard battle in the previous match, he may have run out of gas.
Michael raises his arms in victory to win the XRGames Boxing match.
