Going back to summer and winter and the summer X is moving to Austin TX. I liked being able to watch some of the events multiple times throughout the summer. Gave me something to watch other than netflix on my xbox.

I wasn't a fan. It felt like it diluted the X games

I wasn't really a fan of the idea, I don't have cable though. I could watch the 3 or 4 xgames on the xbox when netflix got old.


I haven't been a huge fan of xgames in a while anyway. At this point in time in makes sense for them to stay in one place for a long time, but I wish they changed up the cities more often.

A decade in the same spot seems stale to me.

Absolutely this. There was no hype at all in LA and the games felt totally dead. Glad we'll get that build up and see some hype and hopefully a noticeable progression between years, not little progression between stops.

"Alana Smith surpassed Shaun White to become the youngest X Games medalist ever with her second-place finish in the debut of Women's Skateboard Park."

Wait, what? (8th paragraph down in that article)

I also feel bad for locals. Shitty to lose a cool event.

But for TV and media. Glad it's a one stop show like it used to be.
