X Games is an extreme sports competition series created in 1995 by the American cable sports channel ESPN.

The inaugural X Games event took place in Providence and Newport, Rhode Island, United States.

The first-ever event featured street and vert skateboarding, barefoot water ski jumping, street luge, BMX dirt and vert, and dual downhill mountain bike.

At the X Games, originally named Extreme Games, athletes compete for gold, silver, and bronze medals.

The concept of the series organized, run, and broadcasted by ESPN has always been to take extreme sports into the mainstream arena.

"The idea came from noticing how much of a movement there was going on in youth culture, bringing these sports together under a big umbrella of competition as well as culture to showcase these tremendous abilities," explained Ron Semiao, the founder of X Games.

"Basically, the idea was to create the Olympics of extreme sports. I never really thought of it in terms of how long this will last - the thought process was always what's next."

Pushing Skateboarding Forward

Since 1995, X Games has become a platform and window for progression. Nearly every year since its inception, the competition pushed the limits of all showcased sports.

"The X Games has done a great job of listening and adapting and pivoting for where those sports are at all these different times across the timeline, and especially they've done a really great job with it in skateboarding," notes Selema Masekela, the X Games host from 2001 to 2012.

The X Games crowned and changed the lives of several professional skateboarders like Tony Hawk, Bob Burnquist, Shaun White, Nyjah Huston, Danny Way, Bucky Lasek, Leticia Bufoni, Lizzie Armanto, and Ryan Sheckler and made them global superstars.

The extreme sports contest is such a prestigious and impactful event that athletes save their best tricks and innovations for the X Games.

Until 2013, the X Games was a one-off multiple-discipline yearly competition. Since then, it has gone global, with several contests held throughout the year.

Let's take a look at the complete list of Summer X Games skateboarding gold, silver, and bronze medallists.
