Al Red Bull: New Year. No Limits, la star del freestyle motocross Robbie Maddison e l’asso della motoslitta Levi LaVallee sono volati nel 2012 con un salto di oltre 300 piedi (125 metri) sopra le acque di San Diego Bay in California, USA, atterrando al sicuro e registrando un nuovo record del mondo di salto su una moto e una motoslitta.
LaVallee, 29 anni e proveniente da Longville, Minn., aveva già tentato il record lo scorso anno – prima che un grave incidente in prova lo costrinse a cambiare i piani.

NIGHT of the JUMPs – Sofia 2011
Tension right up to the very end – FMX World Champion to be crowned at Bulgarian premiere.
Rarely have the closing stages of NIGHT of the JUMPs been as exciting as this year. For the first time in the history of the series, the FMX pros will be lining up in Bulgaria, and for no less an occasion than the grand finale itself. On 17th December, the Sofia Arena will be the venue for the twelfth and final round of this year’s FMX World Championship. And to add the ultimate element of spice to the weekend, the freestylers have kept the destination of the title open until the last. The contest is between Javier Villegas (CHL) and Remi Bizouard (FRA), as no-one else can now catch them. The Chilean is 17 points ahead of the Frenchman in the standings, so essentially he needs a decent qualifying run. Then, even if he finishes 12th and Bizouard first, he would still retain a one-point lead. But anything can happen on the night; after all, Remi has convincingly beaten Javier in the last three outings. …l’articolo continua »
