SSX Blur cast biographies
IGN has put up some cast biographies for EA's upcoming Wii installment in the SSX franchise in SSX: Blur. Instead of drumming interest in the game, it instead reads like a list of riders up for the possibility of being endorsed by Mountain Dew. Still though, the game should be fun as all previous installments in the series have been, so we're looking forward to its release come later this month.
We've embedded the information into the post past the break in the hopes of saving you from IGN's advertisements slow-loading pages.
