Charles, my fellow (recovering from knee surgery as well) team mate just sent me a text telling me some news that makes me a sad panda ;( This is directly from the ISTC Facebook page (posted 20 hours ago):
BREAKING NEWS X-GAMES Cross Events cancelled for 2013!
Coaches and Athletes,
Last night I was told by a Canadian Coach that X-Games had been cancelled. Like many rumors I was assuming that it was the same as always. But unfortunately this morning, this has been confirmed from multiple sources. The loss of another Premiere Televised Event for the sport of SBX and SX.
In what many consider to be the premier event for SBX and SX, besides the OWG's it has been cancelled for the WINTER-X Games of 2013. There was a possibility of having the cross events in the Euro X-Games, but that will NOT be happening either, because the budget didn't allow for it.
They are HOPING to get it into Euro-X for the following season, or possibly ASPEN again. But that will remain to be seen. They site the operating model for the Global X expansion, in which different sports will be faded in and out to keep things FRESH as the reason for letting go of all CROSS events.
Last year they cut out snocross for snowmobiling, and that is coming back for this season.
We have seen the JEEP tour disappear, now X! If you are concerned about this, then please take the time to write a letter (That's Right, you have to actually put pen to paper) and tell ESPN your thoughts.
Be PROFESSIONAL, not emotional and maybe, just maybe we can get this back for 2014!
Thank you for your time, this is not a joke, this is for REAL!
