The X Games park courses are really a thing of beauty. This year the fine folks at VPI (Vertical Production Industries, builders of the park courses) decided to accomplish an X Games first - build 2 different park courses catering to the different mechanics of each park sport.

Skateboarders require different transitions and obstacles than BMXers or Inliners, and a need for two parks was realized after last year's competition.

We have a sneak preview of what the courses will look like and are working night and day to bring you the best in interactive maps. So check back soon for the full package of interactive maps, obstacle names and course descriptions.
