ESPN Decides to Continue Vert Competitions at This Year's X Games

Holly Lyons Invert X Games 2007

Skateboarding has spoken, and vert stays!

ESPN has decided to continue its 13-year tradition of vert competitions at this year's X Games. Over the past month ESPN has engaged in many conversations with the X Games BMX and Skateboard vert athletes in an attempt to transition the Vert discipline into one featuring a skatepark course design. While many athletes were initially receptive to the idea, the majority of them have indicated to ESPN that they would prefer to compete on a halfpipe.

ESPN will also continue its plans to hold SuperPark as a new discipline for skateboarding and BMX at the X Games while working with the athletes to better define exactly how the SuperPark course will be designed.

ESPN decided to drop Vert at X Games 2008

Tony Hawk invented more than 80 tricks. I'm not sure I can even count that high.

On April 3, ESPN announced the biggest event shakeup since the inception of the X Games. As of this summer, vert, the oldest discipline in the Games, is out, and a new "SuperPark"-type discipline is in for the 14th year of competition.

"It's time. It's been time. ESPN's always a little slow on the uptake. It's no secret that the vert field has stayed the same for the last decade. It's no secret that there aren't any vert ramps for kids to ride outside Southern California. If you want a vert career, you have to move there," says X Games General Manager Chris Stiepock.

Vert's dead. Again. It's just that this time, it's the X Games that say so.

Holly Lyons - Explorer Girls Interview

20 Questions with Holly Lyons; Fashionista Pro-Skateboarding Sista

2007 SPAUSA/WFSA Women's Skateboarding High Jump World Championships

On Saturday the 15th of December 2007 Amee Jay Paplelra set a new women's world skateboarding high jump record of 40 inches (101cm) at the 2007 SPAUSA Women's World Record Sk8Fest. She also won the Open High Jump contest and became the 2007 SPAUSA/WFSA Women's Skateboarding High Jump World Champion for the second year in a row.

 

Then just for fun she set a first time ever women's world ramp skateboarding record by doing 16 consecutive fakie Smith stalls.

Everyone had a great time watching the contest, enjoing the excitement of seeing records being set, drinking Kronik Energy drinks and listening to the raw blast of Ben Farquar's Lenins Landlord punk band.

Thanks to Amee Jay for her great sportsmanship pioneering women's ramp world records. We hope to see more women's skateboarding world records set at next years event.

And many thanks to our sponsor Sk8Grl for providing prizes.

Thank You: Bob Staton - SPAUSA Women's World Records Sk8Fest Director
