Red Bull X-Fighters 2006
On 14 September 2006 at Madrid in the most famous bullring – Las Ventas took place Red Bull X-Fighters 2006. Red Bull X-Fighters is most important european event in freestyle motocross.
Winner was Travis Pastrana who won using lots of combined tricks most of them back fliped: Superman Flip, a Nac Nac Flip, a Heelclicker Flip One Hand Landing and a Superman Indian Flip. Second place came titleholder Nate Adams and on 3rd position was european Mat Rebeaud.
This was Travis’ second victory in Las Ventas, after winning in 2004. “The Red Bull X-Fighters are more fun than any other event. The atmosphere is unique.”
Nate Adams, the dethroned titleholder: “I gave it everything I had. But nobody stands a chance against Travis at the moment. He’s simply the best.”
Mat Rebeaud, winner of the Red Bull X-Fighters in Mexico City in March: “I injured my hand at the X Games. Being able to compete here at all after my operation was an achievement in itself.”
The riders perfomed awesome tricks some of them untagged but the problem was the manner of shooting of the spanish television which made the transmission. Many of the tricks were unappreciated corectly by the watchers and all the time the replays were those more important than the live filming. Even so the atmosphere was as good as the show performed by the pilots and everyone enjoyed this competition.
The interviews were taken from Red Bull X-Fighters website.
