Games open, star athletes get to pick dream teammates

By RYAN PEARSON
CARSON, Calif. (AP) — Travis Pastrana, Shaun White, Kevin Robinson: These guys like to fly. And they like to fly solo.
But what if the X Games -- the Olympics of individual-focused action sports -- were a team event? We decided that in order to form the perfect group of skaters and BMXers, we'd need a little help.
In this asap video, five X Games stars reveal who they'd ask to join their team. The only rule: The teammate had to be from outside their sport.
Most were loyal -- pairing with friends or fellow high-profile action sports luminaries. But some answers, like these athletes' death-defying tricks, didn't always make sense.
Hulk Hogan, anyone?
