Congrats to Lusk
Congrats to Lusk for placing 3rd at the Red Bull X-fighters event in Mexico City! Look for great things out of Deegan, Potter & Lusk this year!
SWISS RIDER Mat Rebeaud soared high to take the title at the inaugural event of the Red Bull X-Fighters 2008 at the sold-out Monumental Plaza de Toros in Mexico City at the weekend.
The 2006 Mexico City champion overcame Spain’s Dany Torres after a memorable battle in the final. American Jeremy Lusk grabbed third place in the world’s premier freestyle motocross series.
The night belonged to Rebeaud, who delivered a perfect combination of showmanship, acrobatics and an array of perfectly executed tricks.
“That was just incredible, I’m over the moon!” said Rebeaud. “I want to thank all the fans. Here in Mexico, everyone really lived the emotions, including me.”
The 43,000 fans packed into the world’s largest bullring were treated to a non-stop feast of freestyle motocross action, with 12 of the world’s best riders, including Robbie Maddison (AUS), Eigo Sato (JAP), Busty Wolter (GER), Giancarlo Bergamini (BRA), Alvaro Dal Farra (ITA), Petr Pilat (CZE) and Johan Nungaray (MEX), reaching deep into their bags of tricks, including backflips, whips, cliffhangers, lazy flips and much more in the historic venue.
