ASX "ADAPTIVE SNOWBOARD X" A CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES OF ADAPTIVE SNOWBOARDING

This December, 2011, Adaptive Action Sports initiates A.S.X (Adaptive Snowboarder X-Cross), a championship stand-alone signature series of open competitions for permanently disabled snowboarders. The 4-event series provides adaptive riders, whose numbers have escalated in the past few years, their first opportunity to compete for cash and prize purses.

 

Event spectators will enjoy, on a larger and more frequent scale, the same action, skill and inspirational courage that adaptive riders have recently displayed on AAS-hosted USASA and X Game bordercross courses.   

 

AAS will adopt a classification and standards system for A.S.X.  In order to promote fair competition, the system will be designed to delineate the effect and impact of various disabilities and their level of impairment on, for instance, the athlete’s balance and mobility. 

 

In 2011-2012, the A.S.X. competitions will be held separate from, but coinciding with the last day of, four AAS Pipeline learn-to-ride-and-race clinics. (See schedule.) To provide race experience for clinic participants, amateur-level competitions will be held on the last morning of each clinic. The championship competitions, registration for which will be limited to intermediate and advanced riders, will immediately follow.

 

After an incredibly successful Summer X Games 17 Skateboard Competition, The Shoe City Invitational, with a cash and prize purse of over $3000.00, AAS will strive to create a similar rewards package at each stop of the A.S.X. Championship Series with a finals to outweigh them all!

The A.S.X. Championship Competition Series is going to kick A.A.S.!!!

 

        A.S.X. will elevate the status of adaptive snowboarding to a professional level!

 

        A.S.X. will provide exciting, energetic and inspirational action sports events to a ever-growing             spectator audience!

 

        A.S.X. will provide the increasing numbers of skilled adaptive snowboarders an opportunity to             compete against their peers for cash and prizes!

 

        A.S.X. will provide industry sponsors highly-visible opportunities to link their brand to admirable         athletes and inspirational athletic events with high international appeal.
