Renner is a respected freestyle motocross veteran, will attempt to establish the Guinness World Record for highest air ever attained on a motorcycle. This kind of attempt is not something Renner is known for as he seemed to be more focused on style, highlighted by huge whips, rather than risk-taking, Renner assures everyone that he’s ready to soar into freestyle fame. “My whole career has been shaping up to do something unique like this,” he said. “I feel like the sport needs it. I don’t want to just be a trick guy. This is where my heart is at.”

Robbie Maddison (AUS) had to learn the dangers of extreme rodeo riding the hard way in his semi-final against Jeremy Stenberg. The Australian FMX star fell heavily on the huge course featuring seven kickers and a ten-meter-high quarterpipe. “I landed hard after pulling a Backflip Cordova and my kneecap popped out. I couldn’t bend the joint anymore so I was forced to quit the competition straight away. On the way back to the riders’ camp it popped back in on its own. Now I’m really going to go for it at the next Red Bull X-Fighters event.”
