LOS ANGELES: The new VH1 original series The X Life, to premiere in early 2011, features some of the biggest names in action sports and the women who love and support them.

The ten-episode series features Pierre Luc Gagnon (Vert Skater) and his girlfriend Denise Russo; Cory "Nasty" Nastazio (BMX Dirt Jumper) and his girlfriend Nicole Panattoni; and Jeremy "Twitch" Stenburg (FMX) and his wife Susie Stenberg. The show will follow these extreme-sports athletes and their wives/girlfriends as they cope with an adrenaline-junky lifestyle.

The X Life is executive produced by Cris Abrego for 51 Minds, an Endemol company, and Joe Simpson for JT Entertainment.

"The stars of action sports and the women who love them don’t just live life on the edge they go beyond it whether they’re on the track, the trail or just living their lives and we couldn’t be more thrilled to bring that wild ride to VH1," said Jeff Olde, the executive VP of original programming and production at VH1. "The couples of The X Life will bring a real adrenaline rush to TV."
