Looks like we might be finally getting a Euro version of the X-Games:

"Tignes is certainly one of the most progressive resorts in Europe and
its one of the most anticipated resorts in terms of events (Airwaves,
FWT...) and this news is big. The X Games is coming to Europe and doing
it in France (for the 1rst time its not in Switzerland or Austrian).
The first European X Games will be held in Tignes in March (between the
8th and 15th of March)
Its has already been a long time that ESPN
has been looking to create a little sister to the American Queen, in
order to grow their market share into the Old Continent.
So its
done, the organiser Chris Schuster, told us that it's 90% ready to
role. So its not anymore a secret and we will talk more about it pretty
soon but be sure that downdays will be an essential part of the
expansion of X Games into Europe.
For info, this news means the end of the Tignes Airwaves after many years of good and loyal services.
"
Sounds good; just wish there was a more interesting resort to use than Tignes.
