2004 SEOUL EXTREME GAMES WORLD CUP

Korea Extreme World Cup Organizing Committee will be opened the World Cup in Seoul, South Korea on May, from 1st to 9th.

This looks to be huge event this year and one to grow and grow - they hope to have many athletes from around the world who love extreme games taking part, however the vibe should be buzzing, since it will be greatly different from former extreme games:

This event will pursue a spirit of the Olympic games, and promote amateur games between nations. All athletes will be welcome to participate in the games, whether pro or non pro, since the organisation is passionate that that these games promote amateurism, and for all participating athletes to be of a similar mind.

In the past, since extreme games have been opened, it has been found that many games have not encouraged pro-athletes, despite their love for the sport. At this event in Korea, it all changes…

Interested in making the trip to watch or compete? See below for information, maybe check out their (non-English!) homepage http://www.xworldcup.org, and contact me if you are interested in participating either this year or next.
