Default x-fighters

So, who went ?

i thought the riders were astonishing.

but

why the hell did london underground decide to do engineering works on the Victoria line? you know, the one that 90% of people going to the event would use...

redbull could organise the proverbial in a brewery. could hardly hear the commentry, or the music, which did nothing to engage the crowd with the event.
there were no manufacturere stands or clothing stands other than NISSAN ????!?!??!

half way through they brought out someone in a legend car who did donuts... no really thats great. well done. there are kids in an asda car park who can do better. they then brought out an F1 car the bezzed about and that was actually a real treat. hearing them on the TV just doesnt do them justice.

just seemed like a passionless redbull marketing event...

anyhew

rant over.

on the positive -the riding was jaw dropping, if you can get over the banal commentators its well worth watching on Dave.

awesome venue.

the glow stick fight half way through was funny as. check out the end when the winners are on the podium and being pelted with them

Levi Sherwood - 17yr old - utter legend.!
will post pics when i can

FMX is amazing, I am sure the guys who do it are meiing about with the laws of physics somehow. It must be witchcraft or something.

If you like FMX try and get hold of the TV show Nitro Circus, it's basically Travis Pestrana (FMX legend) and his mates messing about. Bit like Jackass on bikes.

Best guy on it is Street Bike Tommy, so called because of this.
