*By Daily Press staff*

The annual X Games is the premier action sports event in the world and showcases more than 150 of the world’s top athletes competing in BMX freestyle, Moto X, skate-board, surfing and rally car racing.

X Games 12 staff is looking to the local and regional communities for people who are willing to volunteer for a full day, assisting in the multi-event action sports competition. Several day-long volunteer positions are available including hospitality, crowd control, ushering, access control and credential checking. The X Games also offer the XCEL program, designed for dedicated individuals who are willing to volunteer every day from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., from Aug. 2 to Aug. 6.

The www.xgamesvolunteers.com Web site is now accepting applications for daily and XCEL volunteers.

Volunteers will be privy to X Games 12 apparel, sponsor goody bags, snacks and refreshments and will receive an invitation to the private X Games volunteer appreciation party. In addition to the other items that volunteers will receive, there will be the chance to take part in a daily raffle of items donated by local and industry businesses.

ESPN X Games 12 will be held Aug. 3-6\. The Home Depot Center in Carson will host an increased number of X Games competitions, while other events will return to STA- PLES Center in downtown Los Angeles.
