- July 28, 2011
The 2011 X Games is the premier action sports event that attracts the best athletes from around the world to compete in extreme sports such as skateboarding, motocross, BMX and rally car racing. This is day one of the five-day event in Los Angeles and the competition is fierce.
The first event of the day is the BMX Freestyle Park Final. The park is designed to challenge even the most experienced BMX riders with ramps, rails, and other obstacles. The athletes have two 60 second runs to showcase their skills and tricks to the judges, with the highest overall score being declared the winner.
Next up is the Skateboard Vert Final. This event takes place on a half-pipe that is 13 feet tall and 40 feet wide. The athletes perform gravity-defying tricks and stunts while flying high above the ramp. Points are awarded by the judges based on creativity, difficulty, and execution.
The Moto X Step Up Final is one of the most exciting events of the day. The contestants ride their dirt bikes up a ramp that is over 30 feet high, attempting to jump over a bar that is set at a record-breaking height. The rider who clears the highest bar without knocking it off is the winner.
The Women's Skateboard Street Final is a new addition to the X Games lineup this year. Female skateboarders compete on a course that includes stairs, rails, and other street obstacles. The judges score them based on the difficulty of their tricks and overall performance.
The final event of the day is the Rally Car Racing Final. This event takes place on a dirt track that is full of sharp turns and steep inclines. The racers must navigate through the course as quickly as possible without crashing into any obstacles or going off the track.
Throughout the day, the audience is treated to stunning displays of athleticism and skill from the world's best action sports athletes. Whether it's BMX riders spinning through the air, skateboarders grinding on handrails, or dirt bike riders soaring over impossibly high jumps, the X Games never fails to disappoint.
