BACKFLIPPIN’ CRAZY GOES LIVE AT EVERY ROUND!

For all those Freestyle motocross fans amongst you we’ll be taking a mobile FMX tour to each and every round of the Red Bull Pro Nationals and the Corona Sundown cup!

This is freestyle show, not a competition but you can guarantee the action to still be insane as the regular crew of Chris Birch (GB), Martin ‘Flap’ Snellstrom (Swe), Fredrik ‘Frog’ Berggren (Swe), Brody Wilson (USA) and Libor Podmol (Czech) flip, twist and hang off their bikes 30 feet in the air like modern day motorised gladiatorial gymnasts!

Not that they’ll thank us for calling them that, but hey, the lads have a great sense of humour as well as buckets of talent and courage. Of course there’s more to it than meets the eye and the lads train as hard as they party.

The insane moves these men lay down have more extravagant names than cartwheels, tumbles or double pikes (whatever those are?) that you associate with gymnastics and are certainly more daring.

FMX riders take huge risks when they pull off moves like a ‘Crack Flip’ or a backflip variations like the ‘Tsunami’  or ‘Cordova’.

Then there’s the madness that is the ‘Double Oxenator’ where the rider (read talented lunatic!) lets go of the bike completely and then flicks his feet up to behind his back and grabs them with boot hands – insane!!

If that’s not enough for ya then they may even bust out a ‘Nac-Nac’ or an ‘air skid’ or ‘one hander’. Maybe even a ‘one legged cross up’ if you’re really lucky!

These guys are brilliant to watch and all part of the weekend festival feel that is the Red Bull Pro Nationals.
