Ever wanted to follow the footsteps of Aussie daredevil Robbie ‘Maddo’ Maddison and compete against the world’s best FMX riders? The Red Bull X-Fighters World Tour is back for 2010 but with a difference. For the first time in the history of the event, any skilled FMX rider can apply to be a part of the 2010 Red Bull X-Fighters World Tour.
Between 2nd and 10th February 2010, Red Bull X-Fighters will create a World Ranking Session, taking place at the Red Bull Compound in California (USA). There, the best 26 applicants will be invited to battle for six open spots on the Red Bull X-Fighters World Tour 2010.
The top four riders from last season, Nate Adams (USA), Robbie Maddison (AUS), Eigo Sato (JAP) and Mat Rebeaud (SUI) are automatically qualified for the 2010 season, along with two wildcard FMX stars So that leaves six spots up for grabs alongside those FMX champions.
To take part in the Ranking Session, interested riders can apply at www.redbullxfighters.com by uploading a video (maximum of 90 seconds) demonstrating their skills. But be quick as applications close on 1st December 2009. To be considered all riders must - at a minimum - be able to proficiently demonstrate backflip combination manoeuvres and have their own health insurance. Applicants younger than 18 years of age require parental release.
An international selection committee will then choose the 26 best riders, who will receive an invitation by 15th December 2009 confirming they have been chosen to take part in the Red Bull X-Fighters Ranking Session.
The 2010 Red Bull X-Fighters World Tour kicks off in April at spectacular locations around the world.
