The X Games built a special BMX course for the competition in Ventura.

The X Games attracts some of the world's top skateboard, BMX and Moto X competitors. Last year's competition was televised by ESPN and ABC.

Ticketsfor the return to Ventura County of one of the world’s best known extreme sports events have just gone on sale.

The X Games returns to Ventura this summer. The competition features internationally known skateboard, BMX, and Moto X athletes.

It will once again take place at the Ventura County Fairgrounds, with three days of competition from June 28-30. This year’s event will also feature some musical performances and art installations.

Last year’s competition was nearly a total sellout. It also brought national attention to Ventura, with ESPN and ABC televising major parts of the competition.
