X-Games
The X-Games are an extreme sports event . It is the largest and most important of its kind. The X-Games were first organized by ESPN in 1995 and have been held annually in various cities in the USA ever since. The X-Games are divided into summer and winter competitions. The Winter X Games take place in January or February, the Summer X Games in July or August.
From 2010 to 2013, X Games also took place outside the United States under the name Global X Games . The venues for the winter competitions were Aspen and Tignes , for the summer competitions Foz do Iguaçu , Barcelona , Munich and Los Angeles . In early October 2013, ESPN announced that it would discontinue its international offshoots outside the US for financial reasons. From now on, the Summer X Games will take place in Austin / Texas and the Winter X Games in Aspen.
