Red Bull X-Fighters
Red Bull X-Fighters are freestyle motocross (FMX) motorbike stunt competitions contested in bullrings and similar venues. Alongside the X Games, they are the most prestigious and most challenging freestyle motocross competitions.
Red Bull X-Fighters are invitation tournaments where the best FMX riders in the world come face to face. The competitions' particular flair comes on the one hand from the relatively restricted space in the bullfighting arenas (and therefore the close proximity of the crowd to the sporting spectacle) and, on the other hand, from the replication of a number of rituals from a typical "corrida": for example, the riders are greeted by drum rolls and trumpet fanfares, and the public audience may honour the riders' performances by waving white rags.
==History==
The idea for the Red Bull X-Fighters came from energy drink producer Red Bull. The first competition took place in 2001 in the bullfighting arena in Valencia, Spain. The event moved to Madrid's ''Las Ventas'' bullring for 2002, Spain's biggest and most important bullfighting arena. With 23,000 spectators, the competition in Madrid – held annually since 2002 – has become Europe's greatest FMX event. Alongside Madrid, Valencia hosted the Red Bull X-Fighters for the second time in 2003. Since 2005, the competition has also been staged in Mexico, in the Monumental Plaza de Toros in Mexico City; the biggest bullring in the world, with a capacity of 43,000. In 2008, the competition was hosted by Poland's 10th-Anniversary Stadium, and was the last event taking place there. A week after the motocross competition, it was demolished in order to allow the construction of a new site - the National Stadium, Warsaw, where a round of the Red Bull X-Fighters 2011 was set to be staged as the first event taking place at the newly built stadium, but the stadium wasn't reay yet and the event was moved to Poznan. The final round of the 2009 season took place at Battersea Power Station in London. Red Bull X-Fighters had its biggest event in Sri Lanka, Colombo at Galle Face Green on 2010 with a record 230,000 spectators on site.
