MRX Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Just got tickets to go see this - http://www.redbullxfighters.com/ Red Bull X Fighters London Fans of motorsports and bike stunts are in for a treat at the Red Bull X Fighters London event, which will see the World Tour touch down in the UK for the first time. With a crowd capacity of 17,000 at Battersea Power Station, those lucky enough to get tickets for the one off London show can see what audiences in Madrid, Mexico City, Rio de Janeiro and Texas have enjoyed since the World Tour began in 2001. Freestyle Motocross Also called FMX, Freestyle Motocross combines skill, showmanship, and plenty of adrenaline to deliver a set of showstopping jumps and tricks on motorbikes. The twelve specialist riders at the Red Bull X Fighters London event can reach heights of 40 feet on their jumps, so expect a real spectacle of ramp based stunts at the London show. Battersea Power Station As well as being the first time that the World Tour has come to Britain, the Red Bull X Fighters show will also be the first time that both the inside and outside of Battersea Power Station will be used as part of one massive set to entertain the general public. The 40 acre site promises to provide a suitably grand venue for the freestyle motocross championships, and the show will give UK motorsports fans the chance to cheer on the daredevils before they perform overseas once more. Anyone else going? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caseys Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 I may have to buy some tickets They should mix this with the air race and the flug tag. That'd make an interesting event. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRX Posted August 23, 2009 Author Share Posted August 23, 2009 So what did you guys think? I personally thought that allowing a bunch of english blokes to drink as much as they want then arming them with free glow sticks probably wasn't the best of ideas... The venue was really well laid out and the tricks were amazing, but my view was some what compromised by the bigest bloke with a big bald head sat in my way...

Jamesy Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 What a night. Right old mix of a crowd, most lookd double 'ard!! I remember seeing glow stick launched al over the crowd. Q'd for nearly 2 hours to get in. The trix were great and the free bar made up for it. My head is banging today!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
