The first season of the MoonPay X Games League has officially come to an end, and X Games CEO Jeremy Bloom took a moment to thank everyone who helped bring the new team competition to life.
Bloom shared a heartfelt message after the championship weekend at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, where the inaugural title came down to the final event before XC New York was crowned the league's first champions.
Looking back, Bloom said it is hard to believe the concept only began nine months ago.
"What a season. Nine months ago, this was just an idea."
Since then, the league traveled from Sacramento to Chiba before finishing in New Orleans.
Along the way, fans saw the first X Games League draft, club owners assembling their rosters, and athletes competing together as teams throughout the season.
Bloom believes the first season showed that action sports can grow while staying true to what made them popular in the first place.
"We proved that action sports can evolve without losing its soul."
He also thanked the athletes who trusted the vision from the very beginning, saying they helped create a new chapter for X Games.
His appreciation also extended to the fans, partners, broadcasters, host cities, team owners, general managers, and the X Games staff who spent months bringing the league together.
Bloom congratulated XC New York for winning the first championship and praised every club that competed throughout the season.
He said the league produced new rivalries, introduced fans to new standout athletes, and gave competitors another reason to battle for every point as they represented their clubs.
Although the first championship has been decided, Bloom made it clear this is only the beginning.
With one full season complete, his attention is already on what comes next as X Games prepares for its winter events and the next chapter of the league.
"This is only Season One. The foundation is built. Now we make it bigger, louder, and even more impossible to ignore. See you this winter."
