X Games 12 Factoids
from Expn

Q: Where will the 12th summer X Games be held?

A: In and around Los Angeles, California at the STAPLES Center (tickets required), Home Depot Center (tickets required) and Puerto Escondido, Mexico (Surfing - FREE). The first eight stages of Rally Car Racing will be held in the Los Angeles area with a Super Special live at the Home Depot Center finale (tickets required). See venues for detailed locations and directions.

Q: When, pray tell, will the 12th summer X Games be held?

A: Thursday, August 3 to Sunday, August 6, 2006.

Q: What is this “X Games” you speak of?

A: If you’ve been under a rock in South Korea for 12 years, I hope you didn’t get flat. But the X Games is the definitive annual action sports competition, featuring more than 150 of the world’s best athletes. This years’ sports are BMX Freestyle, Moto X, Skateboard, Surfing and Rally Car Racing.

Well i’m not sure about the problems that Expn has with South Korea, cause it’s pretty active country in the extreme sports.

If the writer of the article was on the red planet march, i may understand that he missed the fact that Seoul (Korea) hosted the Asian X-Games in May 2005. Stop drinking beers while writing your articles dude.
