History of X Games
X Games began when ESPN realized there was significant interest in action sports such as skateboarding. In 1994, it was announced that the first competition (then called “Extreme Games” would be held the following year in Rhode Island. Events included bungy jumping, in-line skating, skysurfing, water sports and more.
It was originally planned for these “Extreme Games” to be held every 2 years, but after an incredible response and an attendance of nearly 200,000 people, ESPN quickly decided to make the games a yearly event. They also changed the name to X Games, and the competition has only grown in popularity and significance since!
