Supercross and Motocross Champion James Stewart to compete in 2009 X Games 15!
This coming year’s ESPN's X Games franchise will be July 30 – August 2, 2009, in Los Angeles, California.
It will include more than 200 of the best action sports athletes in the world, including motocross/supercross champion, James Stewart. It was announced in a press conference today that Stewart has signed on with Team San Manuel and, in addition, will compete in ESPN’s X Games 15 in July and the Moto X World Championships in the spring.
Stewart began racing at the age of four and has raced motorcycles his entire amateur and professional career (dating back to 1993). In 2007, Stewart dominated the World Supercross GP and the AMA Supercross Series, successfully winning both championships. In 2008, Stewart was the AMA Motocross Champion with a “perfect season” – winning 24 of 24 races – only the second rider in the history of the sport to do so. This will be the first X Games appearance for Stewart.
The X Games, the premier action sports event in the world, will be held July 30 through August 2, 2009 in Los Angeles, California.
The X Games features athletes from across the globe competing for medals and prize money in the following sports: skateboarding, motocross, BMX and rally car racing. Practice and elimination for the events will be held July 28-39, 2009. X Games 15 will be covered live on ESPN’s family of networks, including ABC, as well as across ESPN’s many digital media assets including EXPN.com and ESPN360.com. The event has been held in Los Angeles for six years, and will remain in the city through at least 2009.
