It's the annual extravaganza that is ESPN's X Games. This is version 17, in Los Angeles. There are four main disciplines, with each having different classes in those disciplines.

1. BMX Freestyle: Vert, Park, and Street
2. Rally Car: Rally Car Racing and RallyCross

Step Up

Contestents for Step Up: Ronnie Renner, Matt Buyten, Tommy Clowers, Brian Deegan, Myles Richmond and Todd Potter.

They start at 30 feet in height where all six riders make it easily. The bar is raised to 34 feet six inches and they've all cleared it. Tommy Clowers is going to be the first to attempt a new height record - 35 feet six inches! He touches the bar and it falls to the ground. Tommy doesn't make it in his second attempt. Todd Potter doesn't make it as well.

Brian Deegan now will attempt the new X Games Step Up record height - 35 feet six inches. And he does it! New record! And Myles Richmond makes it too! Ronnie Renner clears it too! Matt Buyten is trying to defend his Gold Medal. He doesn't make it on his first attempt, but nails it on the second attempt!

Now they set the bar at another record height - upping it one foot to 36' 6". Brian Deegan and Myles Richmond fail on both attempts and are out.

Sunday, August 1, 2010, Staples Center, Los Angeles, California. The final day of X Games 16 has all the action going on here at the Staples Center, and right next door at the Event Deck at L. A. Live. The activities include BMX Freestyle Street, Skateboard Adaptive Jam, Skateboard Street for Women, Skateboard Park Legends, Skateboard Park Women's Jam, Skateboard Game of SK8, Moto X Speed and Style, and Skateboard Park.

Our highlights will be here from the Staples Center, with Moto X Speed & Style, ... but we also have all of today's results courtesy of ESPN.

What is Moto X Speed & Style? The best way to describe it - it's supercross and freestyle mx combined. It's like a small supercross track, except - there is a freestyle mx ramp, and each rider must do one trick on the ramp each lap! (See video below of Nate Adams in practice.)

The Elimination round is like 'seeding'. Each rider goes out on the track by himself, and get scored on his speed and style. Then the riders are paired in brackets, based on their finishes.

'Judges' award riders a 'style' score based on their overall impression of the rider's tricks performed on the track. In the Finals, two riders go head-to-head. They go four laps. And, the rider that crosses the finish line first gets bonus 'speed' points for their margin of victory over the other rider. The goal is to find a balance between speed (time) and style (execution of tricks).

"In practice, I was doing more lines and not so many tricks," said Dhers. "I felt like I was packing too much into it so I chose to focus on doing more tricks for the Final. When I was a kid, I watched the X Games, looking for the newest trick. The difficult course they created really challenges you to bring your best."

After wedging his 199 Subaru Impreza in between the cement barriers heading back into the Home Depot Center, Travis Pastrana ultimately could not finish the race, giving Kenny Brack the gold, while Pastrana finished in 2nd place. Both Brian Deegan and Ken Block were disqualified from the race, because neither driver made the jump in the semifinals, giving last year's silver medalist, Tanner Foust, the bronze in 2009.
