Twelve of the best Freestyle Motorcross (FMX) riders will descend on London’s Battersea Power Station on August 22nd for the Red Bull X-Fighters World Tour Finale.
A 17,000 strong crowd will be thrilled by the riders as they perform gravity defying tricks to battle it out for the World title in front of the famous white chimneys of the Battersea landmark.
The Red Bull X-Fighters tour has gained a huge international following since it’s inception in 2001, with the riders providing a high power spectacle combining power, skill, bravery and showmanship to excite the growing number of fans. Each year the tricks and jumps have become harder, higher and longer- reaching heights of 40 feet.
In 2008, 170,000 spectators saw the Red Bull X-Fighters World Tour climb to new heights with spectacular contests in the bull fighting arenas of Mexico City and Madrid, the stone quarry of Wuppertal in Germany, the Sambadrome parade ground in Rio de Janeiro, a rodeo arena in Texas and a gigantic historic stadium in Warsaw – which was brought back to life for a day before it was then taken down by the wrecking ball.
The series arrives for it’s debut in London, having already held events in Mexico City, Calgary (Canada) Fort Worth Texas (USA) and Madrid (Spain).
Tickets and further information for the event can be found on the Red Bull X-Fighters website.
