In the early 1900's it seemed hard more many to believe one could make a bicycle run on a motor engine. In 1985, it seemed hard to believe in Back To The Future: Part 2 that people could ride hoverboards by 2015. Hendo Hoverboards has proven that is possible and it is not even 2015 yet. Now, we have E-go and Bubblegum Boards which are electric skateboards. Which is today's equivalent to the motorcycle of the early 1900s.

Extreme sports consists of BMX biking and MotoCross biking. In 2016, the X-games could possibly have new competitions for hoverboard competitions and to on the ground skateboard competitions. In 2016, the X-games could have competitions for electric skateboards and non-electric skateboards.

Right now, the world is moving super fast. Now, technology is no longer a game changer in terms of work and entertainment. Technology is now influencing fashion and sports. That is certainly not limited to extreme sports. In 2017 we can see the Tony Hawk of hoverboards, the Sean White of electric skateboards, and a whole lot more. Maybe, half pipes will be made through 3D printing and every skateboarder can conveniently have one in his or her backyard. Maybe, almost every skateboarder will have magnetic ramps in their backyards if they get cheaper. Could technology lead to cheating in extreme sports like steroids is cheating for baseball?
