Last year during our 25 Years of X Games celebration, Selema “Sal” Masekela sat down for a stellar hour-plus interview that was used in part for the 25 Years of X Games show on ESPN. Selema’s start at X Games was as a play-by-play and sideline reporter, but that quickly evolved into a position as host of X Games. And Selema will be the first to admit: he thought the Extreme Games would not last. But eventually, he ran with it and became the face of X Games for 13 years. And because he’s such a masterful storyteller, we decided to present his full uncut interview session from last year. This is Selema Uncut.
