Three New Disciplines At The X Games

E365 -- ESPN will debut three new disciplines at X Games 14 this summer in Los Angeles - Skateboard and BMX SuperPark and BMX Street. SuperPark will be a 100 percent transition-focused design blending a variety of terrain and obstacles into one seamless course. The SuperPark disciplines will highlight the all-around abilities of the world's best transition skaters and BMX riders. This will mark the first time ever that X Games will not have a stand-alone vert ramp.

For X Games 14 at The Home Depot Center and STAPLES Center, these new disciplines will join the other Skateboard and BMX competitions of Skateboard Street and Skateboard and BMX Big Air.

"We are constantly striving to present new sports and disciplines at the X Games that accurately reflect the state of action sports and participants," said Chris Stiepock, X Games General Manager.  "Skateboarders and BMX riders still enjoy vert features, but most are doing so at skateparks rather than on stand-alone vert halfpipes. The proliferation of public skateparks has fostered new athletes who excel on large park features, leading us to develop the SuperPark discipline."

In addition to the currently-named discipline of SuperPark, X Games 14 will feature athletes from across the globe competing for medals and prize money in the following sports: BMX Freestyle, Moto X, Skateboard, Surfing and Rally Car Racing.

Details on sports schedules, venues and athletes will be forthcoming and available on expn.com.
