ESPN X Games

Coming back this August is the ESPN X Games, and boy am I excited. If you have never been, these games combine adrenaline pumping sports, high energy music and a fun festival experience into one. The tricks that these athletes perform are mind boggling and extremely fun for the entire family.

Events to check out:

• Kick off the weekend with the Skateboard and BMX Vert competitions, held in the Armory on Thursday night. 

• Don’t forget about the incredible music scene at the Armory over the 4 nights. Chevy Metal, Wu-Tang Clan, Diplo and The Blink Shake are some of the headliners this year, which means that no matter your taste, there will definitely be artists you’ll love.

• There will be a free Moto X Step Up event outside of U.S. Bank Stadium on Thursday night. Check it out to see some of the talented Moto X athletes performing tricks to get you hyped for the weekend ahead.
