From 2008 there will be no more Winter X-games

Today is a dark day for skiing and it's recognition as a 'real sport'.
It has been announced today that ESPN will no longer be covering the winter x-games due to "resource demands and other priorities" said the spokesman for the corporate board of ESPN. As the X-games are a product of EXPN this means that the event will no longer be held.
In addition, recognition by the International Olympic committee for freestyle skiing as a sport worthy of the an Olympic event (such as halfpipe) is now extremely unlikely. This will be the case for at least the 2010 Vancouver games.
Despite the amount of viewers, supporters and participants in skiing today, it appears that competition row, sham, bow is a better sport.

For one thing winter X is only the half of it. The legions of Motocross fans in the summer is redicoulous, they live and breath the x-games they would go ape shit if they couldn't see travis duke it out with the metal mulisha.

Perfect timing. This thread is going to get out of hand really quick. Let the speculation begin.
