Mathews Vs. Hoyt

Introduction:
From the time that I could walk I had sports on my mind, walking around with a little baseball and bat or even a football. But as I grew up I found out there are even better sports than just your basic everyday high school events. The first one I seen was snocross, racing snowmobiles at high speeds with only one thing on your mind and that is to win. Soon after though came the introduction to the X-Games and it became my childhood dream to perform there with everyone screaming my name.
What I know:
The X-Games are a winter and summer time sporting event that happens each and every year. They consist of pro athletes and teams pushing the limits of the human body and the machines that they are riding.
The winter X-Games are held in aspen colorado and consist of three basic sporting events where athletes have different objectives. The three categories are snowboards, skis, and snowmobiles, and all have a group for men and women, though no women have competed in any snowmobile events.
The summer X-Games were held in Los Angeles California up until now the 2014 summer X-Games have been move to Austin Texas. The X-Games are national hit for the television networks especially ESPN which is the main producer of both the winter and summer games.

Where Do I Go From Here:
I plan to keep watching the X-Games in the future and learning from the athletes competing today. Then I hope to maybe one day make it there myself though that is pry quite a stretch. The games have always been a part of my life that I don't want to have taken away. I am very interested in seeing what the future holds for athletes and new tricks as they are getting bigger and better. I am planning on continuing research to know more about the little things that make up different parts of the games and waiting for the first summer games in Austin Texas.
