X Games is launching a bi-annual contest to celebrate the best in action sports photography. Each month, XGames.com selects 10 of the best photos submitted by photographers in the BMX, skateboard, freeski, snowboard, surf and mountain bike worlds and displays them in a curated digital ZOOM gallery online.Starting with X Games Aspen 2017, and continuing at X Games Minneapolis 2017, the XGames.com content team will select the six best images from the ZOOM submissions to be included in an online best of fan vote contest. The winner will receive an X Games gold medal and a prize purse of $10,000. (Runners-up receive $1,000 each.) All six finalist photos will also be featured in ESPN The Magazine, displayed onsite at the X Games events and featured in the event broadcast.HOW IT WORKSHow are finalists selected? The X Games content team, comprised of photo editors and knowledgeable sport-specific editors, select six finalists from the pool of previously published Zoom galleries in the six months prior to each contest period, which coincide with the bi-annual X Games competitions, currently X Games Aspen in late January and X Games Minneapolis in mid July.What sports are featured in Zoom Best of Action Sports? Submissions are limited to X Games core demographics of BMX, FMX, motocross, skateboarding, freeskiing, snowboarding and surf photography. Occasional freeride mountain bike photos, focused on freestyle, are included. Other sports are rarely-to-never considered.What is the timing of the contest? For the first contest, slated to coincide with X Games Aspen 2017, finalists will be selected and notified at the beginning of January in advance of the X Games Aspen voting period. Images will be re-published in the public voting contest web gallery approximately 10 days in advance of the voting deadline. Images will also be published in the January 27 issue of ESPN The Magazine. Images will be displayed onsite at X Games Aspen, January 25-29 to 2017. The public fan vote period will end on Saturday, Jan. 28 and the winner will be announced during the broadcast on Sunday, Jan. 29.Are there other limitations for Zoom submissions? Monthly Zoom submissions are limited to images captured in the previous 12-month period. Images should not have been previously published digitally or in print within the action sports market.

Joe Flacco Broncos Jersey . Jane Virtanen scored two, and Alex Roach and Elliott Peterson rounded out the offence for the Hitmen (40-15-6). Brady Brassart chipped in with three assists. Colton McCarthy scored twice, Brayden Point had a goal and two assists, and Jack Rodewald also scored for the Warriors (15-35-9), who were 2 for 5 on the power play. http://www.thebroncosstoreonline.com/Youth-Courtland-Sutton-Broncos-Jerseys/ . In what the team had called a retirement, Ryan said Thursday that he is resigning as chief executive of the Rangers in a move effective at the end of this month. Drew Lock Womens Jersey . On June 12, just as the sun sets on the magnificent historical city of Sao Paulo the inventors, innovators and purveyors of “joga bonitowill” open their campaign. The opponent, Croatia and all its football might and will. As opposites do attract we are set for a corker of an opener. Bradley Chubb Womens Jersey . Oyama had six birdies and two bogeys at Kintetsu Kashikojima in the event also sanctioned by the Japan LPGA Tour. "I have been having this neck ache thats been affecting my golf recently," Oyama said.What have you seen that you trust after two weeks? Heres a few of mine: The Alabama defense, the right arm of Texas Tech quarterback Pat Mahomes and the jukes of Louisville quarterback Lamar Jackson.I trust that San Diego State senior running back?Donnel Pumphrey?and Florida State senior defensive end DeMarcus Walker, two of the seasons early stars, wont convince the underclassmen behind them to stay for their senior years. I trust that the state of Louisiana belongs to quarterback Danny Etling, at least until Mississippi State comes to Tiger Stadium on Saturday. And those Buckeyes look pretty salty, too. 1. As good as No. 10 Louisville looked at Syracuse on Friday night, and thats 845 yards and 62 points good, the Cardinals have until noon Saturday to figure how to keep two teams from beating them: No. 2 Florida State and, yes, Louisville. As hot as the Cardinals appear to be in their first two games, they committed three turnovers and dropped 11 passes in the element-free conditions of the Carrier Dome. They cant get away with that against the Seminoles. 2. TCU redshirt sophomore Kenny Hill is playing beyond his years, and Im not ready to trust him. At Texas A&M two years ago, Hill threw for 511 yards in his first college game. By November he had lost his starting job and served a two-game suspension; by May he had announced a transfer to TCU. Flash forward to Saturday when Hill threw for 377 yards and one touchdown and ran for 93 yards and two more scores against Arkansas. But he also drew an unsportsmanlike penalty with a throat-slash gesture that provided the Hogs with enough field position to score late and send the game into overtime, where Arkansas won 41-38. How good will Hill be when he grows up? 3. Speaking of the Razorbacks, you may have seen the note from Stats & Info that Arkansas now has beaten five ranked opponents since the beginning of the 2014 season, the most by any unranked FBS team. That sounds like an impressive number, and surely its better than beating none. But the full story is that (A) Arkansas has been unranked for a reason; (B) that reason being Arkansas also has lost eight games to ranked opponents in that time; when (C) the Hogs have been ranked in only two games, a win over UTEP and a loss to Toledo in 2015. They get another chance this week: No. 24 Arkansas plays Texas State. 4. Oklahoma State head coach Miike Gundy struck the right tone of disappointment and responsibility in the statement he released Sunday about the misapplied rule that allowed Central Michigan to beat the Cowboys 30-27.dddddddddddd I was more intrigued by the statement of Oklahoma State athletic director Mike Holder. In my mind, it is incomprehensible that a mistake made after time had expired cannot be corrected, said Holder, the former mens golf coach who led the Cowboys to eight NCAA titles. In golf, the rulebook may be checked after play and the score adjusted to ensure that its correct. In football, Oklahoma State is left to take solace in the two-game suspensions of the MAC crew and the Big 12 replay officials who worked the game. 5. The good news is that Arizona State back Kalen Ballage scored eight touchdowns in the Sun Devils 68-55 point-athon. The slightly better news is that in Todd Grahams five seasons in Tempe, the Sun Devils have won 10 games in which they have allowed 30 points. The much worse news is that Arizona State has allowed at least 30 points 28 times in Grahams 55 games, and nine times since the beginning of the 2015 season. Lets compare apples to apples: In that same time frame, Oregon, which also runs an up-tempo offense, has allowed 30 points in 17 games (the Ducks won 11 of them). The Sun Devils are exciting. But when will Graham figure out that they cant outscore everyone? 6. So Army and Wake Forest are 2-0 (against FBS competition, mind you) and LSU and Oklahoma State are not. The Black Knights havent started out 2-0 since 1996, when they began 9-0 and finished 10-2 and No. 25 in the AP poll. Army has had only one winning season since. The Demon Deacons havent started 2-0 against FBS opponents since 2008, when they beat Baylor and Ole Miss. That was so long ago that Wake finished 8-5 and Baylor finished 4-8. 7. And a quick Following the Coaching Legend update: Virginia Tech has lost nine fumbles in its first two games under Justin Fuente. Thats two more than it lost all of last season. In fact, in five of the last 10 seasons under Frank Beamer, the Hokies lost fewer than nine fumbles. It probably doesnt make Fuente feel good to remember that his Memphis team last year also lost nine fumbles over the entire season. ' ' '
