The inaugural Red Bull X-Fighters event held in Valencia in 2001 was the first example of an all-new and innovative event concept mixing the extreme sport of freestyle motocross with the region’s local bullfighting tradition. One year later, in 2002, the event was taken to Madrid and later to Mexico City, where it has remained a fixture in the calendar since its debut in 2005. In 2007, the Red Bull X-Fighters went on tour for the first time with three stops in Mexico, Ireland and Spain. The following season, in 2008, the Red Bull X-Fighters World Tour was born, featuring events in the USA, Brazil, Mexico, Spain and Germany before ending with a grand finale in Poland. Red Bull X-Fighters will continually add new cities to the World Tour and bring FMX to brand new countries.
