The history of X Games can be traced back to the early part of the 1990's. That was when the ESPN management got together to test the potential of extreme adventure sports. There was a large demographic that wasn't into baseball and football. Those people liked to engage in sports that were a bit unconventional.

ESPN decided to invest some serious cash to bring all those different extreme sports under one banner and they managed to do that pretty well. After coughing up close to ten million dollars, the first X Games event known as Extreme Games were held in the year 1995. The inaugural edition featured a total of twenty seven events and it was a rip roaring success. Close to a whopping two hundred thousand people turned up to be a part of the festivities live.

The overwhelmingly positive response which the inaugural event got paved the way for ESPN to host it next year as well, this time as the X Games. For the second year running, two hundred thousand fans watched the proceedings live. The first two X Games really set the tone for it to become the rage it is today. The popularity enabled ESPN to come up with Winter X Games as well and they joined in on the fun in the beginning of 1997.

The X Games have become a complete entertainment spectacle now. Different rock bands have performed during the games and there is a DJ present at the venue as well for as long as the event goes on. It has grown in stature with every passing year as more and more fans have turned up to watch it live.

Events likes Moto X, Mountain Bike, Rally Car, Skateboarding, BMX, Red Bull Phenom, Real Video Series, Skiing, Skating, Snowboarding and Snowmobile have combined to turn summer and winter editions of the X Games into global phenomena. The event is now viewed by millions of fans in well over one hundred countries around the globe.
