The X-Games are proud to announce that in 2014 the events will be hosted by the great city of Austin Texas. This marks the first time in the X-Games history that the summer X-Games are hosted by a different state other than California. It is also an honor for us to present to you Paul Rodriguez who has a special message. Paul Rodriguez is a professional skateboarder of Hispanic decent, born and raised in Tarzana California. Paul Rodriguez who goes by the name P-Rod is no stranger to X-Games in the past ten years P-Rod has earned an impressive eleven medals won at the past X-Games events. We would now be handing over this message over to P-Rod.

First of all I would like to thank ESPN who brings to you the X-Games, they are the reason my career has shaped out to be what it is today. As a member of the Hispanic community I’m proud to participate in these events that bring in people from across the world and from various countries.
It has truly been an honor to compete with these individuals from all over the world, it has shown us the diversity in action sports. It has also been humbling to see all fans from different age groups, its truly a great feeling and seeing the fans enjoy and have fun are part of what make the X-Games so iconic and meaningful to me. I’m also really excited to enjoying my time in Austin Texas and having new fun elements in the events such as Kanye. I would have never imagined that these events would have the power to bring in all types of people including Kanye West. I look forward too being at the events this summer in Austin with all of you. Be sure to know that you may see me hanging around with these great athletes during the event. I hope everyone that can comes out and enjoys this great event.
