X Games, the annual action sports competition, returns to Los Angeles August 3-6, 2006. Now in its twelfth year, the X Games features more than 150 of the world’s best athletes competing in BMX Freestyle, Moto X, Skateboarding, Surfing, and new to this year’s lineup, Rally Car Racing.
Rally Car Racing features a driver and co-driver racing street legal cars on closed sections of roads called “stages”. The goal in rally is to accumulate the lowest elapsed driving time on a prescribed course. The co-driver navigates the course and communicates upcoming road conditions to the driver, so that a high rate of speed can be maintained around and over natural obstacles such as blind crests, jumps, hairpin turns, dips, and more. The X Games rally will encompass two days of competition, featuring six scenic rally stages on Friday, Aug. 4th and a special timed event in a stadium setting on Saturday, Aug. 5th.
ESPN and ABC will provide 14 hours of original LIVE X Games 12 programming from August 3-6th. ESPN will also present four late-night highlight programs starting August 4th, resulting in a total of 18 hours of original programming for X Games 12.
SportsCenter, ESPN’s flagship daily news program, will report LIVE from X Games 12 from August 3-6th. Each of those nights, the 11pm EST SportsCenter will contain event coverage from X Games 12.
