For the first time ever, on the 22nd August, the Red Bull X-Fighters will be touching down on the British dirt. The ultimate kings of freestyle motocross will battle it out in front of a 17,000 strong crowd at the iconic Battersea Power Station, performing death and gravity dfying tricks to be crowned the ultimate champion. The Power station will be brought to life with a surge of Red Bull energy, as twelve of the best freestyle motocross riders from around the world entertain the capacity crowd in this World Tour Finale.
Having already touched down in Mexico, Canada, the US, Spain, this is Britain’s debut hosting such a dynamic event, and what better setting than in front of the the famous white chimneys. Red Bull X-Fighters is a high-energy spectacle in which riders on motorbikes combine power, skill, showmanship and bravery to excite fans. The World Tour has garnered a huge international following since its conception in 2001 with jumps and tricks getting harder, higher and longer every year – often reaching heights of 40 feet. I saw a cheeky trailer on TV last night, and it certainly looks like a one-off show that you wouldn’t forget. If there are tickets left, they should be available on www.ticketmaster.co.uk. Here’s what you can expect:
