L.A bmx X-Games canceled this summer!!

In the summer of 2013, the X-Games Bmx park and vert, skate park has been canceled for the first time in X-Games history except for a hiatus from 2005-2007. BMX Vert and Park disciplines, along with the Skateboard Park event, will not be contested at X Games Los Angeles this year, ESPN confirmed Wednesday. Here are some quotes from some of the riders that are in the X-Games event. "Obviously I'm bummed because it was on the schedule and we were down to ride, so it's definitely a surprise." Said from the rider Jamie Bestwick. "It's a shame that it got canceled, but if it would have happened to another stop, it would have been just as big a shame." I have no idea if it started losing ratings or what happened, but it really sucks," said Daniel Dhers. Also, here is a quote from Tim Reed, senior director of Content Strategy and Sports & Competition at ESPN.
 In my opinion I think its a real shame that they would take out these events. This is what put the X in X-Games. This was there best event I have ever seen them present. It had such suspense from all the riding, tricks, and the air the riders put out. It makes me sad that they would take such a thing away from all the people that love bmx and love to watch the X-Games Bmx events.
