All about Summer X Games

Every year since 1995, athletes from around the world have arrived at the X Games to show off their latest moves and tricks as they compete for medals and prize money in such sports as skateboarding, rally car racing, motocross and BMX.

Game fans are also treated to an annual entertainment extravaganza featuring a rockin' music festival and in-your-face meetings with famous athletes, game demos, and other special events.

So forget those "reality" TV competitions -- this is the real deal as more than 200 top young athletes compete through four days of extreme hair-raising maneuvers. It's one of the most breathtaking sports competitions in the world -- and a mom's worst nightmare.

Television audiences can also look forward to almost 20 hours of live television programming on network ABC, and cable channel ESPN with additional live streaming the X Games YouTube Channel, Facebook page, and Twitter feed.

Ticket info (not applicable in 2021)

Tickets are traditionally available online at the official X Games site, at all Ticketmaster locations and at the box office at the US Bank Center in Minneapolis. But fans will have to act fast! Many X Game tickets are snatched up at lightening speed, after which ticket resellers (like StubHub and TicketsNow) become the vendor of choice for many.

In addition to all the action on the course, it's also "game on" for music headliners who traditionally perform throughout the competition.
