We just found out that Unit athlete Levi Sherwood has qualified first for the Moscow round of X-Fighters that is going down tonight!

Levi has clearly learnt a lesson from the rained out Spain round of X-Fighters, where he ended up 7th, due to final results going from the qualifying scores, where Levi took it easy and only did enough to get through to the finals.

ESPN's Ryan Leyba commented on Levi's performance, "Going in to tomorrow's final Sherwood's looking solid for the win, but as we've seen in the past things can change in an instant."

Congrats buddy, and lets hope you can carry that momentum through to the final! Mat rebeaud also rode well, but as this is only his first round back since a horrific crash earlier in the year, Mat has said he just wants to have fun and work his way back to full strength. We think thats a great effort considering the circumstances facing Mat, including a freshly healed broken arm. Full qualifying results below... And remember you can watch the X-Fighters Moscow final tonight on the Red Bull live webcast, at 3.15am Australia time.
