The X Games are a sporting event held every year by ESPN. It is considered an extreme action sport. The Winter X Games are usually held in January with the Summer X Games held in August. Winning contestants are given bronze, silver and gold medals along with prize money. Contestants often work on new tricks for the games.http://www.23mag.com/events/xg/xg.htm
The first X Games event called the Extreme Games, was in 1995 and were held in the cities of Newport, Providence and Middletow in Rhode Island and Mount Snow, Vermont. The original nine categories included windsurfing, bungee jumping, skateboarding, roller blading, sky surfing, street luging and mountain biking. In 1997 The Winter X Games were added with events for skiers and snowboarders.
While the X Games were not taken seriously by all in the beginning, there is no doubt that they have become quite successful over time. The games have also helped sports like skateboarding and snowboarding become mainstream across the United States.http://www.time.com/time/nation/article/0,8599,1873166,00.html
