Riding, sliding, thrills and spills were on hand during the inaugural competition of the X Sports series, hosted in town Saturday and again today (Sunday).? Promoted Canada-wide, the X Sports features a weekend-long format complete with paintball tournaments, BMX races, skateboarding showcases, Flatlands demonstrations and competitions.

Marc Beaudin, owner of Ground Zero Paintball who spearheaded the X Sports in Gananoque, said the Town, local businesses and service groups have embraced the venue. ?While it is lots of work that is physically demanding, the reward comes when you see the kids? participation,? he said. ?There is nothing like competing in front of a crowd for them.?
In addition to the competitive side of the Gananoque event, rock climbing is also available, though not in contest format. Altitude Gym had a portable tower on hand at the event so the public could get a taste of what the sport is like.
