The X Games Aspen 2015 will be known for two things:
1. Amazingly skilled athletes who defy the laws of physics while shredding snow, air, and everything in-between. And…
2. Their intensely loyal fans who tune in to cheer and support their favorite X Games athletes.
For the fans in Aspen, getting an up-close view of the athletes on a course or hanging out in town is typical. For fans around the world, getting closer can be a little tougher. And that’s where Skype is helping to bring everyone closer together.
By teaming with X Games star athletes Gus Kenworthy, Sage Kotsenburg, and Taylor Gold, X Games fans are getting the chance to ask them questions one-on-one, through the power of Skype.
All you need to do is add XGames2015 as a contact on Skype for a chance to join in. Follow the jump to for all the details, and personal video invitations from Sage, Taylor, and Gus.Check out their personal Skype invitations:
