X AIR - WHAT IS IT?
2022 OVERVIEW
MICHAEL RYAN
From 2000 – 2007, X*AIR grew to be Australasia’s largest action sports festival incorporating Skate, BMX, FMX, Inline, break dancing and music. Run over 3 days, professional athletes would come from around the world to compete and take a shot at taking away the gold. Tony Hawk, Dave Mirra, Ryan Nyquist and Sandro Diaz were just some of the names that came to not only compete but also spend time in NZ.
The event started in Hamilton and after outgrowing there, was moved to Wellington and was held across the waterfront entertaining 70,000 people
over the course of the weekend. Acts Shapeshifter, Blindspott and Kora would entertain the crowds when the sun went down.
With the growing popularity of action sports in NZ, and no event like this, X*AIR is back….
