X Games Dude!

As temperatures dropped in Aspen, the excitement heated up - when the Winter X Games returned to Aspen/Snowmass Colorado for the seventh consecutive year in 2008 from Thursday, January 24 through Sunday, January 27, 2008.

One of the most x-treme winter sports events in the world, the winter games attract an international array of more than 200 gravity-defying athletes. Prize money, medals and worldwide fame are up for grabs as each of them compete in such events as Moto X, skiing, snowboard and snocross.

In addition to the extreme sporting scene, party revelers also enjoyed live nightly concerts as part of the annual Winter X Games hoopla featuring live performances by hip hop artist Common and Satellite Party at Wagner Park in downtown Aspen.

Live coverage on ESPN and ABC Television included primetime night games on the schedule - amounting to almost 20 hours of air time devoted to the Winter X Games in 2008.

2008 Winter X Games Recap

Although highly recognized athletes like Shaun White and the Tanner Hall made their mark on the Winter X Games 12, the headlines were once again dominated by the women - like snowboarder Lindsey Jacobellis - who came on strong against Swiss rider Tanja Frieden to win her fourth X gold by .73 seconds.

Aspen superstar Gretchen Bleiler also continued to turn heads with gravity-defying tricks to ultimately take the women's superpipe competition, and veteran Jamie Anderson didn't disappoint as she emerged in fine form with a come-from-behind victory in the women’s snowboard slopestyle.
