On Saturday 14 August, the world's biggest Freestyle Motocross (FMX) tournament, Red Bull X-Fighters, will return to London to fire-up Battersea Power Station for the UK leg of the Red Bull X-Fighters World Tour 2010.
After the huge demand for tickets and success of last year's event, the London leg of the series will now be held in front of a huge 28,000 crowd, giving more fans the chance to experience a night of electrifying, high-octane action. Those with tickets will not only be able to experience this iconic venue being brought back to life for the second consecutive year, but will witness the world's best FMX riders as they descend on the British capital for a night of mud-fuelled mayhem in the penultimate event of the series.
Once again, Red Bull X-Fighters London will feature 12 of the world's top FMX riders, including 2009's World Champion Nate Adams and Tower Bridge conqueror Robbie Maddison. Each of the dozen riders will be battling it out and performing gravity-defying tricks to lay their claim to the title, Red Bull X-Fighters World Champion 2010.
So far this year, Red Bull X-Fighters has already taken the Bullrings of Mexico and Pyramids of Egypt by storm, with Moscow's Red Square, Madrid's famous Playa de Torres and Rome's Coliseum providing the other unique arenas for one of the most jaw-dropping sports on the planet.
Currently Andre Villa (NOR) leads the pack, followed by reigning Red Bull X-Fighters World Champion and former X-Games gold medallist Nate Adams, (USA) however, Adam Jones (USA), Robbie Maddison (AUS) and Levi Sherwood (NZL) are hot on their tails.
Following last year's historic Tower Bridge jump, Australian Robbie Maddison is thrilled to be heading back to the UK to compete in the Red Bull X-Fighters:
"London has some great memories but this year I want to win Red Bull X-Fighters, so I am working on a new trick this week, something special just for London - an event winning trick!"
