Aussie freestyle motocross (FMX) star Blake ‰Û÷Bilko‰Ûª Williams will showcase his freakish ability in a new arena this weekend, lining up to compete at his first Red Bull X-Fighters event in Mexico City.
Williams, 25, from Baxter in Victoria, has enjoyed success on almost every stage, with his most recent achievements, gold and silver at X Games 15 in 2009, placing him at the sport‰Ûªs pinnacle.
The X-Fighters World Tour opener has presented itself as a challenge, with the 5500ft elevation of the region and resulting thin air threatening to play havoc.
Bilko‰Ûªs opening practice session was cut short when a routine 360-degree trick went awry upon landing. He landed hard on the downramp after being thrown highside from his bike, bruising himself and battering his bike.
It took two hours to repair his ride and the jetting gremlins still remain as he heads into the second day of competition.
