Live from the X Games
This is Brad Willis, coming at you live from the scene of this year's Summer X Games. Right now, we're at Huntington Beach, where the finals of a new surfing competition known as "the Game" are being held.
The game differs from regular surfing competitions because it involves two teams of eight surfers competing in four quarters. Each quarter is broken into two 20-minute heats. Four surfers from one team go first in a heat, followed by four from the second team. The remaining surfers then repeat the cycle, and the top two wave scores are added for a team score.
Later this afternoon, we'll take you to Woodward West for the qualifying trials of the downhill BMX, the bicycle motocross event that promises to be wild and woolly. You won't want to miss our live coverage.
Mike Metzger has turned in a fine performance in the Freestyle Moto X. His backflips have wowed the crowds. Metzger joins 300 of the world's best extreme action sports daredevils for this year's games. In a minute, we'll show you some footage of the Brazilian skateboarders. They've put on quite a show at these games.
