In an ESPN announcement, the new events are fully explained.
"Enduro X will feature both men s and women s disciplines, showcasing riders talent on an all-terrain obstacle course.
Riders will race through sand, mud, logs, rocks and other terrain features in a blend of motocross racing and traditional Enduro, battling not only each other but also the challenging course for their shot at X Games gold." Enduro X will be the 8th Moto X event added to X Games and is going to be held at the Staples Center.
As for the first rally street circuit, drivers are excited to hit the streets of LA;
"Having RallyCross at last year s X Games was a huge step for the sport, but racing through city streets is how motorsports began, said three-time X Games rally gold medalist Tanner Foust. Being in the car, ripping through streets, cranking the handbrake through intersections while door-to-door and jumping next to buildings is going to be truly epic! I can't wait!"
