After 12 successful years as an X Games event, BMX Dirt will not be in this year's lineup. BMX Big Air, which was featured as a pay-per-view event at X Games 12 (2006), will now be part of the live network coverage. Other BMX disciplines are Vert and Park. It's a shame Dirt has been dropped but it looks like everything needs to be bigger and better for the TV audience. It gives the dirt jumpers out there one less contest to shoot for to make a living out of riding a bike.
Red Bull Elevation, here we come, that is if you make it on the invite list.
