The first ever Red Bull X-Fighters tournament on US soil is scheduled for the 14th June 2008. The night will take on a rodeo theme at the historic Fort Worth stockyards. The premier world class series runs over 5 events in different global locations.
World class riders planned to attend the event include Ronnie Renner, Matt Buyten and Jeremy “Twitch” Stenberg from the USA, Mat Rebeaud from Switzerland, Dany Torres from Spain, Eigo Sato from Japan, Thomas Pages from France and Robbie Maddison from Australia. Robbie Madison holds the Guinness World Record for the longest motorcycle jump. A total of 12 riders will be made up with four riders who advance from a 10 rider qualifier held on Friday, June 13.
As usual the riders will push the boundaries of freestyle motocross on a massive dirt course. With the addition of rodeo including fireworks, bull riding and rodeo queens to add an authentic texas flavour to the event.
So far this in the 2008 freestyle motocross series Rebeaud claimed victory at the Monumental Plaza de Toros – the world’s largest bullfighting arena at the first round opener in Mexico City. Stenberg won at the Sambadrome in Rio de Janeiro. Rebeaud currently leads the series point standings heading into Texas.
After the Fort Worth event, the series heads to Europe at the Steinbruch Oetelshofen in Wuppertal, Germany on July 4 and concludes at the Plaza de Toros de las Ventas in Madrid on July 17-18, where the overall series champion will be crowned.
