X-Games 18 Street and Park Courses
Above and below are two 3D renderings of what the X-Games 18 street and park courses will look like this year. Really pretty cool how they have been doing the street courses lately with going as far as to add in a vending machine, basketball hoop and other real stuff you would come across on the street. It also looks like Red Bull will be an official sponsor for the park course this year.

X-Games Global Expansion Announcement
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.
