720armour welcomes the world’s most daring and skilled extreme sports athletes as the official sunglasses sponsor of the 2011 KIA X Games Asia. Held from April 29 to May 2, the Games return to Shanghai for the fifth straight year to dazzle extreme sports fans with top talent and multi-time medal winners, a new street course, and a knock-out lineup of events that make it Asia’s biggest action sports competition.

The 13th edition of the region’s top action sports showcase brings back the wildly popular mini-MegaRampTM, along with the competitive disciplines of Aggressive Inline (Vert and Street), Skateboard (Vert and Street), BMX Freestyle (Vert and Street) and the fan favorite Moto X Freestyle demonstrations (Big Air). Nearly 200 supercharged athletes from over 30 countries will battle it out, including seven-time X Games skateboard gold medalists Pierre-Luc Gagnon (Can) and Bob Burnquist (Bra), as well as eight-time gold medalist Andy MacDonald (USA), two-time X Games Big Air gold medalist Jake Brown (Aus), three-time X Games gold-medal champion and two-time KXG Asia Vert champion Chad Kagy (USA), with last year's mini-Mega defending champion Vince Byron (Aus), and Street champion Dennis Enarson (USA).

Just in time for the Games, 720armour signed on as official eyewear sponsor of Aggressive Inline Skating athlete, Killa Kai. Killa is fresh off phenomenal wins in the Inline Park event at the 2010 Asian Extreme Sports Championship, Singapore Mettle Games, and CX-Games Championship, and carries incredible momentum into the Shanghai showcase.

720armour is thrilled to be associated with the KIA X Games Asia as the official sunglasses partner. As a high performance active eyewear brand, the youthful energy, daring, technical skill, and fun-loving spirit on display in the competition are exactly what 720 is all about.
