X Games

Where Did The X Games Originate

Where Did The X Games Originate :

In 1993, ESPN came up with a new idea. The idea was to arrange a meet of athletes from extreme sports. After two years, they managed to organize this meet. The first X-games tournament was arranged in Rhode Island, and at Mount Snow, Vermont.

The dates decided were from June 24 to July 1, 1995.

So, that was the first time when 'X Games' initiated. Earlier, X Games had only 9 different sports, but soon, it attracted 198,000 viewers.

As this tournament became very popular, ESPN decided to organize it every year. Since then, it is called X-games. Next year, this event was organized at Rhode Island. This time it attracted 200,000 audiences. Meanwhile, ESPN declared Winter X Games Tournament as well. It was organized at the Snow Summit Mountain Resort in Big Bear Lake, California. The dates were from January 30 to February 2, 1997. After that, 1997-1998 Summer X games were played in San Diego. The second Winter X Games were held in 1998. This time, location was changed to Crested Butte, Colorado.

Crested Butte also hosted the Winter Games in 1999. It was the time when the Summer Games shifted to San Francisco for two years. ESPN has come up with many other events correlated with X Games. The X Trials are called 'qualifying events' for the tournament.

The 'Xperience' is a promotional tour for the tournament. So, X Games have been evolved a lot since then. Nowadays, the popularity of X Games can be seen. People are just crazy about the tournament.

Jake brown like all people who ride vert learn to fall but Jake brown had a massive crash he survived because he followed tips from Danny way who told him to spot the fall then the landing this means he looked were to fall first then were to land the trick so when he fell he knew were he would fall

You can find them in the vintage shop or you can trade them with a model. bbbxochickxo101 and taylor778 have a ton of unique items but they wont trade them ~Bbbxochickxo101~

"Not afraid" has been used at X-games :-)

No, there are no X-Games, but there is a replacement event called the 'San Vanna Slamma', which includes 4 megaramps, but no street course.

In speed, no, you cannot put 2 cards of the same number on top of each other. you can put a card down with a number, say, 7, but you can't put another 7 on top of it. You could put a 6, then another 7, or an 8 and another 7,BUT YOU CANNOT PUT 2 CARDS OF THE SAME NUMBER ON TOP OF EACH OTHER!!!!!!!!!!!!!

are held every four years

A truck-driver, in the realm of bicycle dirt-jumping, is an aerial maneuver that merges a bar-spin with a 360. Typically, the rider (and bicycle) begins a 360 spin, and gives the handlebars a nudge in the opposite direction of the 360, and lets them spin. The handlebars should complete a full revolution before being caught by the rider, who, at that point has nearly completed a 360-degree revolution. Just prior to, and for the duration of the handlebar rotation, the rider pinches the bicycle's seat using his knees. This is an advanced maneuver; variants include a half-truck, which is accomplished by completing a 180-degree rotation while the handlebars are spun either a full revolution, or are rotated 180-degrees in a hand-off from one hand to the other. This has been incorporated in mini-ramp/park riding with the abubuca; the rider completes the maneuver, landing with a pronounced dwell on either the front or rear wheel, using either the brake or a foot to restrain the grounded tire from rolling, prior to dropping back into the ramp.

no

It depends what type of fork and headset you have.. If you got a threaded fork( a fork with little creases at the top) then no. But if you have a threadless fork than yes, but in my opinion, if you want to install it. I would suggest you go to a near bike shop, they will do it for you for a cheap price.
