X Games - Winter & Summer Drafts
For the first time in X Games history, the organization introduced its new league format with two inaugural draft nights, drafting the world's top action sports athletes to four new clubs each night. WKND HRS was brought on to creatively design and produce both the Summer and Winter Drafts at Cosm in Los Angeles, creating an experience that introduced the next chapter of X Games to the world. The events brought together team owners, investors, VIPs, athletes, and fans to witness history as some of their favorite athletes were drafted to their new teams. Designed to capture the energy and excitement of a new era in action sports, both nights blended the legacy of X Games with the scale and spectacle of professional sports drafts. WKND HRS led the creative design and production of both experiences, helping bring the new X Games League to life and setting the stage for the future of the brand.
