this is rediculous. I am new to NS (just made an account a couple of days ago) but this entire post thread is just plain rediculous. if you really want footage from ESPN , just ask John Symms, he writes things for espn all the time!  I am sure he knows someone that could get the footage. If John symms (who is also a pro skier) can't get the footage, why don't know you just pick up the phone and call espn yourself? I don't know too much about tv broadcast but all TV shows have re-runs. if a show has a re-run then the broadcast company must have an archive of all the shows they have ever produced right? since espn  makes x-games, someone at the network will have access to getting old footage. but why waste your time with getting old xgames footage? some good ski edits are on here and some you can buy (like 4bi9 look it up or the jiberish edits for free) and before you know it x games will be on TV again.
