Dirt bikes jumping a bull fighting arena
Pictured here is Spain's Danny Tores, performing a superman in front of Madrid's historic Las Ventas bullfighting arena. Build in 1931, the arena can seat up to 25,000 people. It should be at capacity tomorrow for Red Bull X-Fighters, the 11th time the series has taken place there. More used to seeing events like this take place in giant domes and modern stadiums, the pre-Franco architecture acts ...

Photos: an R1 in the sand dunes
How’s this for a magazine cover? With the help of Yamaha Europe and Michelin, French mag L’Integral equipped 10-time Dakar winner Stephane Peterhansel with a 50th Anniversary R1 and sent him to the Sahara desert to grab these images on the huge sand dunes there. The only modifications necessary? A set of bar risers and a pair of race wets, the rear hand-cut to form paddles. And I thought I was...

Photos: onboard superman

Photos: jumping a Moto Guzzi V50 police bike
To promote each round of the X-Fighters World Tour, Red Bull stages a dramatic photo opportunity/publicity stunt. Typically, that involves jumping FMX bikes in front of a scenic landscape. But, last week in Rome, they did it a little differently. Instead of the specially prepared bikes, they used a stock Moto Guzzi V50 police cruiser. And instead of some silly scene, they took it off jumps at the ...

Video: jumping a motorcycle off a 13,000-foot mountain
“This was without a doubt the most extraordinary thing I’ve ever done,” said Julio Muñoz after jumping his 450cc dirt bike off a 13,000-foot mountain in the Chilean Andes and parachuting to safety. The stunt cost in excess of $100,000 and two months of preparation to pull off. A helicopter was enlisted not only to film the jump, but because it was the only way to get the bike and the ramp t...

Photos: Marc Coma jumps Ronnie Renner
“We are not specialists in jumps,” said Marc Coma, soon after jumping his KTM 450 Rally 50 feet between two dunes, reaching a height of 20 feet. “Usually for it is important to keep the wheels on the ground in pursuit of pure speed.” With Ronnie Renner in Dubai for X-Fighters and Marc Coma in Abu Dhabi for the Desert Challenge (which he won), Red Bull took the opportunity to put two of ...

World’s first 360 front flip
The first ever successful motorcycle front flip was performed almost exactly two years ago. Now, Australian Mark Monea has added a 360-degree sideways spin to the trick. After practicing into a foam pit for four weeks, he just stuck his first landing on dirt. Incredible. Monea is a relative unknown in FMX, previously working as X Games gold medalist Cam Sinclair’s mechanic. This trick is enti...

Robbie Knievel to attempt 16 bus jump
Next May, Robbie Knievel will attempt to jump 16 double-decker busses. That's three more than his father famously failed to clear in 1975, ending his career with a broken pelvis. Unlike his father, London's Wembley Stadium has been deemed too expensive a venue, so Robbie will be making the attempt at the Battersea Power Station instead. >"I sometimes get butterflies before a jump, sometimes I get ...
