For the second year in a row, Red Bull X-Fighters descends on Glen Helen Raceway, featuring the largest, most progressive FMX course ever built. The event, which features the world’s top riders pushing the laws of physics with their motorcycles, will take place on Saturday, May 11 at 1 p.m. PT. Tickets are now on sale.
Red Bull X-Fighters has returned for its 13th year as the world’s premier FMX series, and has expanded to include new stops in Osaka, Japan and Pretoria, South Africa. Known for its amazing motorcycle aerobatics and rider athleticism, the series also features exceptional locations that add to the visual spectacle, with events held on the sandy beaches of Dubai, in Madrid’s Las Ventas bullfighting arena, beside the Pyramids of Giza and at Moscow’s Red Square. Glen Helen was added to this list in 2012, with a truly massive course that dwarfed the footprint at previous Red Bull X-Fighters events. This course, carved out of the hills of San Bernardino, will return bigger and better than ever in 2013.
The series kicked off its six-city world tour this weekend in Mexico City, where 38,000 spectators packed into the Plaza de Toros, the world’s largest bullfighting arena, to watch Tomas Pages of France take first place.
Close on his heels, Dany Torres of Spain took second and Levi Sherwood of New Zealand rounded out the podium with third place. The series now continues on to Dubai on April 12, and following the return to Glen Helen on May 11, the riders will travel to Osaka (June 1), Madrid (July 19) and finish the season in Pretoria (August 31).
