TeamXMX.com News
The past few weeks have been crazy extreme! I've been pushing the limits of my Kawasaki practicing and performing demos amongst the wildest of fans. 2 weeks ago Rock fest brought 50,000 freaks out of the wood work and the NHRA drag race brought out 50,000 top fuel nitro fans that sure know how to scream and party. It was pretty amazing to see the unique vehicles these people build to cruise the grassy pits. Yes all attached with AM/FM radios. The weather was crazy too! We had to take cover in a Mexican restaurant under a table to seek shelter from a Tornado Saturday night in Topeka! I kept looking at the sheet metal ceiling thinking we were doomed! There was no way the sheet metal roof was going to protect us so I kept eating chips and salsa like it was my job! Luckily the tornado changed direction, it missed us by only 1 block.
Due to the lack of a photographer I really don't have any action shots this week, but do have a few iphone uploads of my experience! The NHRA event was filmed live on ESPN and my demos received lots of coverage from what I was told. I'm looking forward to the big GKE this weekend in Iowa, and then I'm back in KC for the NASCAR race at Kansas Speedway. I will be performing on pit road from 10:30am to 11:30am during the Fan Pit Walk Concert on Sunday! I'm trying to convince them to let me wheelie around the track during the National Anthem with a American flag on my back! Stay Tuned for more updates! Look for the TeamXMX rig trackside June 5th!!!
XDL Round 3 – Nashville, TN. June 9-11, 2011
FREE TICKETS are now available online at http://xdl.vbotickets.com until June 5th. There is NO service fee for online purchases and all forms of payment are accepted. After June 5th, tickets can be purchased online or at the gate on the day of the show.
Nashville Event Overview
Every year people tune in to the NASCAR race at Talladega to see "The Big One." This year, Nashville is where you're likely to see XDL's "Big One." For the first time since 2006 XDL is holding a "longest stoppie" competition, where riders accelerate to over 100mph, pull the front brake, lift the rear end of the bike up and proceed to ride just the front wheel for as long as possible. Most of us aren't comfortable going 100mph on four, let alone two wheels, so you can image the danger involved and the risks the riders are taking. XDL Riders Bill Dixon and Jesse Toler have both rolled over 1000 feet from an unlimited approach and Kane Friesen holds the official world record for fastest stoppie at 137mph. The longest stoppie will be our main event Friday night, so don't miss it.
Saturday XDL will unleash the full fury of the K&N Circle Challenge and the Racing 905 Speed & Style Competition, both of which are head-to-head stunt races. We end the evening with the FMF Cup main event and our fan favorite, the Sickest Trick competition.
Also for the second time this season, we have invited the Stuntride Amateur Freestyle Series to an XDL event. With the AFS running alongside XDL not only will you get to see the worlds best riders, but you will also be introduced to the young guns making their way up the ranks in the stunt world!
