A huge line up of the worlds best freestyle motocross riders will compete against each other in one of the most hotly contested events in history, when the second stop of the Red Bull X-Fighters tour heads to Calgary, Canada.
The event will see Levi Sherwood take ‘em on again, Levi surprised the FMX world two months ago when he beat Andre Villa and Mat Rebeaud to claim his first international win of his career, in his first international competition.
Dany Torres has suffered a knee injury from a practice crash a couple days back and has been ruled out of the event. Metal Mulisha rider Takayuki Higoshino will join fellow Japanese rider Eigo Sato in the rider line-up.
Robbie Maddison, who is one of the favourites going into this event and with one of the biggest bag of tricks in the business, is hungry to achieve his first X-Fighters victory.
Just to add some more to the pool of talent, both Nate Adams and Jeremy “Twitch” Stenberg are confirmed starters. Twitch already knows what it feels like to win a round of the X-Fighters competition and will be looking to get another win.
The Pages brothers, Charles and Thomas, who have both recently landed the front-flip to dirt, so that should make for some interesting scoring.
