While the Summer X Games in past years was typically held in California, this was the first full X Games event to be held in the state of Texas; in 2003, a special "Global Championships" event was held in San Antonio, Texas. The games were originally announced to be held on May 15–18, but were slipped to the next month, the reason given by ESPN was for a more favorable broadcast window.[1]

X Games Austin gained a 4-day attendance of 160,000 and an all-time total of 5,069,115. It was also announced on the ESPN broadcast that next year's X Games will again be hosted in Austin, Texas and that a new event, Moto X Flat Track will make its debut.

gollark: Specifically under "Turning points in physics", which is one of the six optional modules (it seems convoluted and weird).
gollark: I checked the A-level spec just now and apparently it does cover special relativity.
gollark: very relevant random GIF?
gollark: The SCP wiki is interesting but also a really bad thing to base any serious physics research on.
gollark: I mean, stars even have natural predators.
