The second stage of the the 2008 Red Bull X Fighters will take place in exotic Rio de Janeiro. Red Bull keeps carnival alive with a night of FMX and Samba at the Sapucai Sambadrome.
Those of you who watched Freecaster's coverage of the Red Bull X Fighters in Mexico will know how incredible these events are. It's one massive party topped off with monumental tricks executed by the worlds best FMX riders.
Mat Rebeaud of Switzerland fought off incredibly tight competition from Dany Torres of Spain to win the first fixture in Mexico and get an early lead in the series but with three stops still to go the title could be won by any one of the world class competitors. The top riders are pulling out tricks like backflips, whips, cliffhangers and lazy flips and will keep pushing the standard higher as the competition continues.
Freecaster.tv will have the videos on line so turn up the volume, turn down the lights, enlarge the Flash Player and put on your sequined bikini- you could almost be there! Tune in on Tuesday May 6 at 16:00 and 20:00 (CEST - Central European Time i.e Paris).
Please note that the Red Bull X Fighters event that was due to take place in Rome one May 16th has been cancelled.
