'Red Bull X-Fighters' – a cult-status event synonymous with the world's greatest freestyle motocross tour, where new benchmarks are set and riders present breathtaking freestle revolutions. When, after a long absence, Frenchman Thomas Pagès returned to the 2012 event in Munich, Germany, his fans were open-mouthed with admiration for his three sensational new tricks: the Vault, the Special Flip and, most importantly, the Flair, a 540-degree front flip. The era of back flips seems to have come to a sudden end. The whole scene faces a challenge. Who will be the 2013 champion? The world's best riders – including Dany Torres (ESP) and Nate Williams (USA) – will again try to push their sport even further as they write new chapters in the book of freestyle history. Stops: Mexico City (MEX), Dubai (UAE), Glen Helen (USA), Osaka (JPN), Madrid (ESP)
