X-Games Global Expansion Announcement

May 1, 2012

Well, here’s one that caught me off guard. When the Dew Tour announced they were cutting back on stops, I figured… great. Less contests, less coverage, less money going around. Just what we don’t need. Then today, the X-Games went and announced that they have added a few more locations that they will be doing contests at and, needless to say, it’s some impressive venues. They will be doing contests in Barcelona, Spain, Munich, Germany and Foz do Iguacu, Brazil in addition to Aspen to go with the original contest in Los Angeles.

All I know is that I need to get a job with ESPN BMX so I can get to all these places.
