Friends of mine are going.
I work next door, but didnt manage to get tickets

Was listening to them practising all day yesterday though, great sound

Might take a looksie from the north embankment tonight just to see and hear the crowds

Been a bad year for the X Fighters though, losing Lusk in Rio, and almost losing another, Cam Sinclair at Madrid.
Hope tonight it drama free, and maybe, just maybe Pages will land that front flip in London

Ride safe lads

Live on Dave at 10pm.

No fan of freestyle MX, but a big fan of motocross on TV....especially if it is live!

It was just a matter of time with sinclair. He landed the double back flip in Texas and still lost so is it work the risk? Didnt he damage his knee then as well?

I just download the Red Bull FMX game for my iphone and its pretty cool

The dislocated shoulder thing was the worst lol, eeew!

Travis was the first to pull the double off properly, in the X Games. Not sure why they are sayin Cam is the first person to ever do it in competition.

High risk, high reward and all.

Travis pulled it in a single 'best trick' competition whereas Cam is the first to have pulled it in an 'open freestyle run' so to speak. Whichever way you look at it though, those blokes have ***** of steel!!!

Aaaah fair point
Just the way they were using the word "competition" so openly it sounded like a sweeping gesture. All makes sense now.
Suprising its taken SO long for anyone to do it though. The ramps and kickers have been there.
