When the first-ever Adaptive SnoCross is held in Aspen at Winter X 14, it will be the third X Games competition designed for disabled action sports athletes. Mono Skier X, which became a full medal event in 2007, was the first and last summer saw Super X Adaptive (motocross) gain medal status as well. While all three are distinct, they share important traits not just with each other but with every X Games competition — specifically, they require a delicate balance of skill, courage, and showmanship.
