The Gold Medal Girls of X Games  

  • For 30 years, X Games has been at the intersection of youth sport, music, fashion, gaming, and creator-driven storytelling. The Gold Medal Girls of X Games drops into the sun-soaked, rebellious world of Southern California skate culture, following four teenage phenoms on the road to X Games Ventura 2024. These girls aren’t just winning medals—they’re shaking up the exclusive, male-dominated community and ushering in a new era of skateboarding. 
  • Directed and executive produced by Patty Ivins Specht (Billie Jean King’s Groundbreakers (PBS), Light In the Water (Logo). Additional executive producers include Josh Rakic, Jeff Moorad, Vince Castellanos, and Pete Dellaria.
