  X Games - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The X Games is an annual multi-sport event with a focus on action sports.
The X Games airs live on ESPN and ABC, and is broken into seasons: the Winter X Games—held in January or February—and the X Games—usually held in August.
In addition, because of the prestige of the games and the fame of the competitors, the X Games is often the showcase for broken records and never-before-seen tricks (for example, the "900" in skateboarding, and the double backflip in Best Trick MTX).
