"In 1993 ESPN recognized the potential of extreme sports and began plans for an international gathering of extreme sports athletes. The Extreme Games debuted in 1995. Competitors in nine categories including bungee jumping, skateboarding, BMX and street luge gathered in Rhode Island and Vermont for eight days of competition. 198,000 spectators witnessed the first event. In 1996 the name was officially changed to The X Games. One year later the first Winter X Games was held in California. In addition to the US games and qualifying events there are now X Games being held internationally."
