<strong>KIA</strong> X <strong>Games</strong> <strong>Asia</strong><br />
One of ESPN's flagship events, <strong>KIA</strong> X <strong>Games</strong> <strong>Asia</strong> is the<br />
biggest and most prestigious action sport event and is<br />
considered the "Olympics" of action sports.<br />
Over 200 top athletes throughout the <strong>Asia</strong>-Pacific region<br />
and the world compete annually in Aggressive In-Line,<br />
Skateboard, BMX, Speed Climbing, Bouldering and Moto X<br />
Demos in front of more than 50,000 spectators.<br />
First held in '98, we have been the leader in developing this<br />
sport and annually creating over 12 hours of original<br />
programming.<br />
Using our collective expertise in sports, entertainment and<br />
media, we create authentic touch points with youth-oriented<br />
icons, activities and communication mediums. We help<br />
some of the world's biggest brands like <strong>KIA</strong>, Red bull,<br />
Toyota, Adidas and Jamster connect with and capture the<br />
attention of the youth market.<br />
Aggresive In-line<br />
Gravity is the only victim<br />
Aggresive in-line skating owes a lot to skateboarding.<br />
The sport got its start in 1981 when skaters began<br />
experimenting on the types of street and vert domains used<br />
in skateboarding; jumping on stair railings and grinding<br />
down to the bottom of the staircase. Along with growing<br />
awareness of the sport came skates designed to take the<br />
abuse of aggresive in-line skating. They allowed skaters to<br />
grind on the street and vert ramps coping with much more<br />
control. Throughout 1990s, there were a series of in-line<br />
competitions. In 1995, the first ESPN X <strong>Games</strong> in Newport,<br />
Rhode Island brought the sport mainstream, worldwide<br />
media attention. With this sudden notoriety<br />
came a boom in sponsorship for pro skaters.<br />

BMX<br />
Man & Machine<br />
Freestyle or Bicycle Stunt riding, evolved from BMX<br />
(bicycle motocross) racing in the early 1980s. BMX racing<br />
has been around since the ‘70s, with the first official BMX<br />
heavy-duty bike frames replacing the traditional modified<br />
Stingrays in 1973. Throughout the 1970s, racing grew in<br />
popularity until it had become a sizeable, established<br />
sport. X <strong>Games</strong> competitions in <strong>Asia</strong> feature two Bicycle<br />
Stunt disciplines: Park and Vert. In the US, the competition<br />
also features Dirt Jumping.<br />
Skateboarding<br />
Park<br />
This course has it all - big transitions balanced out with<br />
ledges, curbs and handrails. At <strong>KIA</strong> X <strong>Games</strong> <strong>Asia</strong>, this<br />
course is specially designed with the technical skater in mind.<br />
The skater with the most diverse style, who has mastered all<br />
these elements, will walk away with the gold medal. This<br />
technique of skateboarding has become so popular that it is<br />
almost an art and breed of skater all on its own.<br />
Vert<br />
Skate Vert is truly an X <strong>Games</strong> <strong>Asia</strong> staple competition.<br />
One can’t help but think of it’s participants as warriors<br />
rather than just crazies on skates. These guys put it all on<br />
the line for the love and progression of the sport sacrificing<br />
blood and sweat for glory and gold.<br />
Moto X<br />
Freestyle<br />
The Moto revolution has taken over the X <strong>Games</strong>. Several<br />
years ago it was a new sport during the Supercross race<br />
intermission. Moto X has come of age developing its own<br />
culture, attitude and superstars. In many ways, it has<br />
surpassed its race roots in terms of popularity. Although a<br />
demo item, Freestyle Motocross (FMX) has quickly become<br />
one of the highlights at <strong>KIA</strong> X <strong>Games</strong> <strong>Asia</strong>.<br />
Sport Climbing<br />
Speed<br />
<strong>KIA</strong> X <strong>Games</strong> <strong>Asia</strong> gathers athletes from around the world<br />
but no other X <strong>Games</strong> sport brings an international<br />
contingency like speed climbing. The <strong>KIA</strong> X <strong>Games</strong> <strong>Asia</strong><br />
brings together speed climbers all fighting to hit the buzzer<br />
at the top of the wall. The competition format is simple - the<br />
final unbeaten man/woman competes head to head to take<br />
home Gold.

Formula DRIFT Singapore<br />
Drifting is a high-skill, high-powered motor sport that calls for<br />
drivers to control a 200hp to 600hp car while it slides<br />
sideways at high speed through a marked course. It is done<br />
on a closed course and judged on execution and style rather<br />
than who finishes the course fastest. Drifting takes all the<br />
thrilling moments of traditional motorsports and packs it<br />
together into a non-stop competition. Featured in the<br />
Hollywood blockbuster 'The Fast and the Furious 3 –<br />
The Tokyo Drift' the sport was given a great boost in profile.<br />
Drift is the first and only sanctioned and recognized<br />
North American professional championship drifting series.<br />
Formula DRIFT Singapore is the circuit's very first<br />
championship to take place outside of North America.<br />
Over 38 drivers from Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong,<br />
New Zealand, Thailand and USA were in Singapore to<br />
compete for the Formula DRIFT Singapore title in April 2008.<br />
The objective of Formula DRIFT Singapore is to transform<br />
the motor sport of drifting into a truly global mainstay.<br />
