EXTREME ACTION TO HIT THE UK AS THE MONSTER ENERGY EXTREME FREESTYLERS SHOW DEBUTS THE DIRT BIKE FRONTFLIP
Motorsports fans in the UK will experience the biggest ever extreme motorsports event when the Monster Energy Extreme Freestylers show lands at the Millennium Stadium on 2nd July as part of its Rock ‘n’ Ride European Tour.
Brought specifically over to the UK in response to the massive interest in freestyle motocross, the show will feature four hours of action, with an all-star rider crew performing death defying tricks and stunts on dirt bikes, quad bikes, snowmobiles, BMX’s and mini motorbikes.
Performing in the show will be the most famous teams in FMX, Metal Mulisha and Crusty Demons. They will be joined by other legends of the sport to create a rider line-up that includes World #1 Nate Adams, Robbie Maddison who holds the world record for the furthest motorbike jump, Jackson Strong (first in the world to land an 85 ft frontflip), and British #1 Chris Birch. Alongside them will be some of the world’s highest profile riders including Brian Deegan, Robbie Adelberg, Taka Higashino, Libor Podmol, Remi Bizouard, Frederik Berggren and Brody Wilson, plus stunt maniacs and MTV regulars – ‘The Dudesons’ – as well as exclusive performances from the Extreme Freestylers Dancers.
All of the action will be played out on the largest and most spectacular indoor freestyle set ever built, supported with a live music soundtrack jammed with original and classic tracks, including a set from Radio 1’s Huw Stephens and the official tour band Sonic Syndicate.
The champion riders have been rehearsing for the past six months to perfect a series of new jaw-dropping feats, including the dirt-bike front-flip, which has never been performed in the UK before.
International rider Nate Adams who stars in the show comments: “I’m stoked to be a part of the Monster Energy Extreme Freestylers crew and this festival style of event with a mix of DJ’s, Rock Bands, crazy stunts and FMX is really where I think live FMX shows needs to go. I’ll be working with the crew to come up with an exciting show and for the first time we will include some big dirt hits into the course! The progression of FMX is only limited by the imagination and I’ll be putting my head together with by show team mates to set the bar higher than it’s ever been.”
Jackson Strong who will be debuting his front flip trick for the first time in the UK also comments: “Bring it on! Front flipping my dirt bike across Europe in front of those crazy FMX fans sounds like something I 'aint going to miss. I’m training everyday to make sure I land these things every time – hopefully! So come check me out!”
Highlights from the Monster Energy Extreme Freestylers show will be featured on Extreme Sports Channel later on in the year, alongside coverage from the other European tour venues.
