Welcome to my world, sit back, relax and let me entertain you!

Such a great race, hands down! There was a consistent changing wind at Cockatoo Island in Sydney today, and it really played a big role in eliminating the riders that didn’t wanted to win hard enough great start. After there was only 6-7 very eager to win riders left and they really went for it! There were one big crash (didn’t know the person) at the final; a backflip went completely wrong and the rider crashed down from maximum height in a 180 degree angle, horrible! Dany Torres was very lucky because Nate Adams was out due to injury, if he was racing he had to place 4^th or less for Dany to win, and that would be nearly impossible I rekon; so good for Dany . So what Dany had to do was very clear, just win the first competition and he was assured the win! It wasn’t a hard race for Dany at all, the rider he was against did a very easy run being too afraid of the changing wind, but Dany didn’t go easy at all despite an almost certain win, he went for some dangerous moves and totally nailed it in front of the judges!

After that it was the semi-finals with Levi Sherwood vs. Mike Mason & Dany Torres vs. Josh Sheehan. Levi Sherwood won to Mike Mason, he was freaking superior; that kid really has some skills, unfortunately he has been out of almost every race this year due to injury; I’m looking forward to seeing him next year! After it was Dany Torres vs. Josh Sheehan, and a thing I really like about Dany is that despite being in a certain winning position he still puts on a perfect show for the audience; but today I saw a different Dany, on his run he took it very easy (even doing a dead sailor or two :S); so he has lost a little respect from me for that one. Josh on the other hand totally nailed it in front of the crowd, he even pulled off a double backflip Travis Pastrana style, f***ing insane!

After that was the final, Levi Sherwood against Josh Sheehan; or better, the Kiwi (New Zealander) against the Australian. Both did a great run, but Josh was just a notch better pulling off his double backflip once again and totally nailing it in front of his home crowd!

I would still say that Dany deserved to win the Red Bull X-Fighters 2011 (just as he did) due to his great dedication in his past races, good onya Dany Torres!

Such a great competition, I’m feeling really sorry right now for not being there :S!

During the race I was drinking some cans of Red Bull, but half way in I decided to spice them up a little with some Jägermaister. Now I’ve put some music on the stereo and having a great after party, feeling a little tipsy with all that Jägermaister I’ve had hehe.

Well, that was all for now folks, see you next time & have a good one ;P

Finally the day that I’ve been waiting for so long has arrived; today it’s the Red Bull X-Fighters finals 2011! For the people that don’t know what Red Bull X-Fighters is I’ll give you some fast facts. Red Bull X-Fighters is a freestyle motocross (FMX) competition held among the world’s best freestyles! The fights are held in bullrings and other similar areas. The riders will be brining on their best (and most dangerous) tricks in front of the judges to score the most points. Red Bull X-Fighters is the most competitive motocross freestyle challenge in the world!

The Red Bull X-Fighters final 2011 will be held in Sydney this year (for the first time in history of men), and it’s going to be intense I’ll assure you that! When I got the news about the finals being held in Australia while I were down there I immediately began thinking on how awesome it could be to go. Some months after I started working at the piggery and I knew that it would be more difficult getting back to Sydney for the event. I really wanted to go even though it would cost me more than 350$ only to go there and get back, but my work leave and visa expiry prevented me to go there, so I’ll be watching it on the couch unfortunately .

It’s going to be a very close race for Nate Adams and Dany Torres, they are both likely to win the Red Bull X-Fighters championship!

Well, enough talk; let’s get to the important stuff! Underneath you have the link to see the whole thing LIVE! That saved you some time trying to Google it didn’t it?

Let the best man win!

After a very intense final between Dany Torres and Adam Jones at Rome, Dany Torres wins the battle and takes the win at Rome obtaining 100 points that granted him 3^rd place in the league. Adam Jones (that came second) was granted 4^th place in the overall stats. The second place in the overall score was granted to Andre Villa with a total of 365 points. In the first place with only 5 points from Andre Villa is Nate Adams, wining Red Bull X-Fighters 2010.

It really was an intense race for Andre Villa & Nate Adams right until the end. Villa was leading right until the match in London (the second last) where he only managed to make 20 points, which ruined his great stats he managed to make so far. For my personal favourite Dany Torres I’m happy for his 3^rd place, because if I have to be honest, I really think that he didn’t deserve more than that. I’m a little disappointed with Levi Sherwood score, because I really think he did a lot better, because he managed to pull tricks off that no other person has ever done and push it to the limit all the time. That kid (yeah kid, he’s younger than me :S) really managed to do great, I hope all the best for him next year because he really knows his stuff (I really admire him).

That was all for now, and I really hope you got to see the live event from the link in my last post. If you didn’t manage to see and really wanted to you can hope for a replay on some extreme sports channels on you TV.

And if all fails, you can begin prepare for Red Bull X-Fighters 2011  

The World Cup Finals 2010 match today between Spain and netherlands was a brutal match filled with yellow cards (mostly for the Netherlands) and not much scoring. In the first half, five yellow cards were handed out, but one of them according to me (the one handed out to Nigel De Jong for kicking Alonso in the chest) should have been a red card. Anyway at the end of the first half, both teams were scoreless. Much of the entire game consisted of close contact battles, and the players that got kicked, pushed and tripped suffered pains that were worthy of Oscar consideration xD.

It was a very aggressive game for both sides, right until the end, and there was a lot of missed penalty kicks and several very close scoring opportunities made by the stressed players that pushed their bodies to the max. Robben from the netherlands yelled at the arbitrator and got a yellow card for complaining, making a total of six yellow cards for the netherlands against the 3 yellow cards Spain got. After 90 minutes of regulation play, the score remained 0-0, and additional 2 x 15 minutes was added.

Right at the end of the extra time Iniesta from Spain scored finishing the match 1-0, making Spain the new world champions!
Awesome match!

¡VIVA ESPAÑA!

p.s. I’m thinking of buying these two Spain t-shirts, really beautiful

p.p.s. Did you know that this was the first time I have put pictures in my blog xD.
Wow I should do that some more .ccc
