Levi Sherwood Wins X-Fighters Moscow

Sunday 27 June 2010

After the most spectacular and flawless ride of his life, Levi Sherwood has dominated the Moscow round of Red Bull X-Fighters. After being handed a tough semi against series leader Andre Villa, and then an even tougher final against 2009 champion Nate Adams, Levi stepped up and left the crowd, judges and commentators in awe. The commentators going as far as announcing Levi the winner against Nate in the final before the results were tallied. (It is fair to say for anyone to be automatically assumed to beat Nate Adams is a big deal and shows Levi's huge effort on the night).

Levi has been slowly progressing back to full strength through out 2010, after taking 5 months off the bike over the off-season to rectify some previous injuries. Moscow was Levi's chance to show the world he was back, and that his 2009 X-Fighters first round win wasn't just a fluke. His run of tricks were made of big range of super technical tricks, all perfectly executed and hyper extended as only Levi knows how.
