This year, the Summer X Games -- scheduled for Thursday July 19 through Sunday, July 22, 2018 -- comes to downtown Minneapolis at the US Bank Stadium, home of the NFL Minnesota Vikings.

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.
