USA - Element Labs' Stealth technology took data display to the extreme at X Games 13 at the Staples Centre in Los Angeles. For the first time in its five-year history, ESPN's X Games moved from static to interactive data display for the BMX and Skateboard 'Big Air' events. Element Labs' Stealth LED video display system was used to show real-time height results, as well as sponsor logos and other full animations.

The modular flexibility of the Stealth panels allowed the construction of a 'huck-o-meter' as a 30ft high cylinder with a 7ft 6" diameter at the top of the 27ft quarter pipe ramp.

The annual X Games is the premier action sports event in the world, featuring athletes from across the globe competing for medals and prize money in the following sports: BMX Freestyle, Moto X, Skateboard, Surfing, and Rally Car Racing. X Games 13 was telecast live on ESPN and ABC.

"We needed to create and enhance the dramatic experience of X Games to a level beyond any other sporting event," says Phil Orlins, coordinating producer, X Games. "Stealth allowed us to create a visually spectacular display that took the experience to a whole new level for the live crowd and TV audience."
