MAIN Sports X Games 2009

It was time once again for spills, chills and spectacular feats of daring – as the X Games geared up in Los Angeles from July 30 to August 2, 2009.

Athletes from around the world showed off their latest moves and tricks as they competed for medals and prize money in such sports as skateboarding, rally car racing, motocross and BMX.

In addition to serious competition, X Game fans were also treated to the annual entertainment extravaganza known as X Fest — featuring a rockin' music festival, in-your-face meetings with famous athletes, demos, and other special events.

Event venues included LA's Staples Center and Home Depot Center with full TV coverage scheduled on ABC, ESPN and ESPN 2, along with video clips and live streaming video on ESPN360.com.
