New "Big Air" Event for Summer X-Games

From DC - This year’s summer X-Games (to be held in Los Angeles, California August 5-8, 2004) has just gotten a whole lot more interesting. The contest organizers have recently added “Big Air” to the skateboarding event, where a version of Danny Way’s famous DC Mega Ramp will be used in the actual competition. The X-Games Big Air ramp will consist of a 60-foot roll-in, followed by a gap jump with landing ramp, complete with a large quarterpipe at the bottom—very similar to the Mega Ramp you’ve seen Danny annihilate in The DC Video. The Big Air Finals will be held on August 8, 2004 at the Staples Center. You can catch the Big Air Finals live August 8th telecast at 6:00 p.m. on ESPN, and on ABC primetime the following Sunday night. Check out the EXPN site for more.
