The World of Adventure Sports on NBC announced today that the series has been renewed for 2 more years on the NBC network. Since its inception in 2004 the groundbreaking series has brought action, adventure and endurance sports to network television audiences and has been an Emmy award recipient and multiple time nominee.


In addition to national distribution on NBC and its online and digital channels, the World of Adventure Sports will return for a 4th season as part of the Universal HD programming line-up and in 2010 will also be featured on the popular Universal Sports network which is available to over 60 million homes. Lead series sponsor Red Bull is returning in 2010 with a heightened content presence joining Garmin, Columbia Sportswear, Oakley and Progressive Auto Insurance.


The new season of the World of Adventure Sports will kick off on Jan. 30th with Red Bull Project X, one of the most progressive snowboard sessions in history. In preparation for the 2010 Olympics in Vancouver, Shaun White teamed up with Red Bull to create a private halfpipe nestled in the backcountry of Silverton Mountain, CO. It was there that Shaun would create a series of new tricks that would change the sport forever.
