  • The X Games are saying " later dude" to Southern California after years of gnarly action and heading north to Sacramento for the next three years.

The Summer X Games, a premier action sports event, will no longer be held in Southern California after 2024, marking the end of a 20-year tradition in Ventura. The decision to relocate the event stems from a strategic shift by X Games' new ownership, MSP Sports Capital, aiming to expand the event's global reach and explore new markets. This move has sparked a mix of nostalgia and concern among local fans and athletes who have cherished the event's presence in the region. The X Games have been instrumental in showcasing extreme sports like skateboarding, BMX, and motocross, significantly influencing the culture and economy of Ventura. The departure is seen as a loss for the community, but there is hope that the event might return in the future or that a new, similar event could fill the void.
