Freestyle Kings Live motocross riders left the DP Wanderers Stadium crowd in awe

Freestyle Kings Live made its South African debut in Johannesburg, followed by Pretoria and ended in Cape Town.

Screaming, cheering and revving sounds filled the DP World Wanderers Stadium on November 2 at the Freestyle Kings Live show.
Freestyle Kings Live has been lauded as the greatest show of audacious stunts with double back flips, front flips, crashes, and multiple world-first tricks. After a 13-stop tour of Australia and New Zealand, the action arrived in South Africa for the first time and was scheduled for Johannesburg, Pretoria and Cape Town.

The tour has brought together some of the biggest names in the sport including American Ronnie Mac, Australian trio stunt performer
Robbie Maddison, Evel Knievel, FMX World Champions Rob Adelberg and Pat Bowden, and FMX hero Dallan Goldman.
Multiple X Games gold medallist Adelberg said the tour allowed freestyle motocross riders to showcase their talents. “We all like to push the limit in everything we do, and if we want to do something we just do it.”

Madison who has taken his dirt bike to the top of the Arc De Triomphe in Paris and modified it to be able to realise his ‘pipe dream’ of riding through a tube of waves in the ocean, added, “Action is the antidote. We cannot wait with the best action sports stars on the planet, to show South Africa what Freestyle Kings Live is all about.”

Freestyle motocross rider Bowden believes, as all top athletes do, that total commitment is required to reach the heights they achieve.

“I believe in ‘full sends only.’ If you are all in and committed to the successful outcome, then that’s a ‘full send’ and that’s what life is all about. I have been so lucky that my dirt bike has taken me all over the world over my 15-year career, but there is no better crowd to perform in front of than the South Africans. They are crazy for BMX and FMX.”
