X Games – Too Extreme For Americans
The X Games is a commercial annual sports event, controlled and arranged by US sports broadcaster ESPN, which focuses on extreme action sports. The inaugural X Games was held in the summer of 1995 in Rhode Island.
The Winter X Games are held in January or February (usually in January) and the Summer X Games are usually held in August, both in the United States. Participants compete to win bronze, silver, and gold medals, and prize money. The competition often features new tricks such as Tony Hawk’s 900 in skateboarding, Anthony Napolitan with the first double front flip on a bicycle, Travis Pastrana’s double backflip in Freestyle Motocross, and Levi Lavallee’s double backflip in Freestyle Snocross. Concurrent with competition is the “X Fest” sports and music festival, which offers live music, athlete autograph sessions and interactive elements. The location of the Winter X Games is in Aspen, Colorado through 2012.
