MUMBAI: One of the world’s top motorsport events, FMX Showcase is all set to be held in the city in February 2019, IANS reports.
Created back in 2001, Red Bull X-Fighters is the most prestigious freestyle motocross (FMX) event series in the world. They execute gravity-defying tricks on their motorcycles in some of the world’s most iconic locations, enthralling fans as well as judges.
The Mumbai event is set to feature world record breaker Robbie Maddison who is geared up to enthrall the Indian audience with his acrobatic disbelief.
Joining him are Red Bull X-Fighters World Tour Champion, Tom Pages from France, who recently jumped a 10-storey replica of the Arc de Triomph in Las Vegas and Alexei Kolesnikov, the first rider to have landed a back flip in Russia.
Along with the three Red Bull athletes, international riders like Martin Koren, Radek Bilek and Julien Vanstippen will also be seen showcasing high octane biking skills.
Kolesnikov was quoted as saying to IANS: “FMX Showcase is a grand event where athletes like me get an opportunity to showcase skills. I am really excited to be part of the show and to perform here. I have heard a lot about how enthusiastic the Indians are and thus I hope I can put out a special show for the people present there.”
Maharashtra Tourism Development Corporation aims to position Maharashtra as an emerging destination for hosting various national and international events such as these.
