REDBULL

Red Bull X-Fighters Jam Narva proved again the spirit of the FMX4EVER guys, when they defied the dangers of very strong winds and gave an incredible show for the Estonians on the 19th of June in Narva Castle.

The start of the day was not promising due to very strong winds and a storm warning, but by the time the courtyard of the iconic landmark Narva Castle filled up with thousands of people, the wind finally gave up and the riders had the chance to do what they do best.

Red Bull X-Fighters Jam Narva was extra special due to the fact that there were athletes from three different continents. Jimmy Verburgh from Europe Belgium, Drake McElroy from USA, Nick de Wit from South Africa and Alexey Kolesnikov from Russia. Since Narva shares a border with Russia and 80% of the people in Narva are Russians, Alexey was welcomed extra warmly by his fellow comrades. He spoke to the mainly Russian audience in his mother language and invited them all to Red Bull X-Fighters Moscow for the 26th of June.

The crowd went crazy when Nick & Alexey performed all their backflip combos. It got extra loud during the "Train" when all four showed their arsenal of trick in a true gunfire. For the spectators it was definitely an awesome adrenaline rush to watch the boys going big and very close in the air.The wind was really heavy and I was a little afraid at first, but in the end I’m very happy we could do the show and make everyone happy” said Jimmy Verburgh after the show ended.
 
It was the first time, that the Estonian city Narva had the chance to see an FMX show, so the crowd needed a minute to get used to the breathtaking tricks before everyone went crazy. Looking at the international level of the FMX riders you don´t wonder that many locals left Narva Castle with the comment, that this was the craziest show they have seen in their lifetime.
