ESPN, X Games Eliminate 'Best Trick' Events After Death of Competitor

ESPN and the X Games on Tuesday eliminated the Moto X Best Trick and Snowmobile Best Trick events at the X Games after the death of X Games competitor Caleb Moore in January.

Moore died in January of head and heart injuries after he crashed his snowmobile during the Snowmobile Freestyle competition at the Winter X Games. But ESPN claimed the decision was not solely a result of Moore’s tragic passing. 

The X Games will continue to have its motorsports freestyle events, though.
