X Games XVIII

X Games XVIII (re-titled X Games Los Angeles 2012) was an action sporting event which took place from June 28 – July 1, 2012 in Los Angeles, California. Venues for the event included the Staples Center, Nokia Theatre and the streets near L.A. Live. The games featured the sports of Moto X, skateboarding, BMX, and Rallycross. Last year's X Games 17 was the first ever X Games to feature Enduro X, which replaced Super X. In 2013, the Summer X Games will be held in four international cities in Foz do Iguaçu, Brazil (April 18–21, 2013); Barcelona, Spain (May 9–12, 2013); Munich, Germany (June 27–30, 2013); and Los Angeles, California (August 1–4, 2013).

The event was also held during the weekend of the 2012 Anime Expo which took place at the nearby Los Angeles Convention Center.
