Extensive TV coverage and exposure for EnduroCross!
Irvine, Calif. (April 26, 2011) – The ESPN X Games has catapulted the popularity of action sports over the past 17 years and now the world’s top EnduroCross riders will get to showcase their talent on this amazing stage. X Games 17 will feature their version of “Enduro X” inside the Staples Center and the event will become part of the eight race series for the 2011 EnduroCross championship for the expert class. The top 20 riders from the 2010 EnduroCross championship will be invited to compete along with at least ten “Wild Card” entries from around the world. A separate women’s class will be open by invite only.
“We have been working with the ESPN staff for the past six years to make EnduroCross part of the X Games, so it is very exciting to make this a reality,” stated Eric Peronnard, the creator of EnduroCross. “Enduro X will showcase the amazing action and skills necessary to compete on such a challenging course to a whole new audience.”
ESPN, ESPN2 and ABC will combine to telecast 25 hours of live X Games 17 competition. In addition to the 25 original hours in high definition, the Worldwide Leader in Action Sports will also televise 18 hours of X Games action on ESPN 3D.

Maybe we need a boulder field or some telephone poles instead of a whoop section in Supercross.

ricky carmic...never mind its gonna suck.
Throw in huge piles of rocks, logs, and tire crossings with lots (LOTS) of crash potential? People will watch.

Repeat ad nauseum.
Endurocross is completely unpredictable and makes for a great show. Guys like Taddy Blazusiak are amazing to watch, and given the opportunity for wild card entries, I'm sure they will pull several top riders from the Indoor Enduro World Championships to join all the top riders from the AMA series. This depth of talent will help make for an exciting event, unlike the X-Games SX events.
I know that Endurocross is hard to understand for some of the "moto-only" guys out there. I've raced just about every kind of MX/offroad event over the years. Hands down, Endurocross is by far the most difficult, physically demanding thing I've ever done on two wheels. I have a huge amount of respect for those guys.

Id almost want to fly to XGames to watch that Endurocross if he shows up.
On a positive note, I wonder if this will force more riders to race the Nationals? Riding the X-Games was a good 'get out of jail' card for some of the guys.
What he does at Erzburg is unbelievable.
