Racer X Car

The Mono Skier X is a furious race where mono skiers rip over a course of tabletop jumps, banked turns, rollers, and gaps at speeds approaching 80 miles an hour. The event is modeled on and run on the same course as the Boardercross and Skier X races.

The race debuted at Winter X Games 11 in 2005 and made the jump to medal event in 2007. The Mono Skier Cross is now a centerpiece of the Winter X games, the first global sporting event to include disabled athletes.

Most mono skiers are either amputees or have paralysis due to a spinal cord injury; the event is also open to blind and visually impaired skiers.
