Notable:
This will be Max's 7th X Games Vert Doubles competition, and he holds two medals. In 1997, Max won his first X Games medal (bronze) when he was paired up with Mathias Ringstrom. The duo will make another run for a medal in 2003. In 2000, Max won silver with PLG.

Quote:
"I wasn't even planning on going to the X Games and then [Mathias] asked me to be his partner for doubles and I was like 'yeah, why not.'" Will the two practice ahead of time? "Yeah, we'll talk over the phone. We'll be good to go."
