We are so pumped for the next round of X-Fighters! Friday will see the best 12 FMX riders on the planet battle it out head-to-head directly in front of the 73.5-metre-long and 20-metre-high Great Sphinx of Giza constructed between 2700 and 2600 BC.

The rider is list looking as strong as ever, and our own Levi Sherwood is looking for redemption after a dissapointing cancellation of round 1 handed him a 7th place, a long way down from where he was hoping to be. In other Unit team news, our newest FMX team athlete Mat rebeaud was hoping to be fully recovered from injury in time for Egypt, but in the last few days has had to pull out of the event. A huge blow for the 2008 Champion who is fast seeing his 2010 season dissappear behind him.

At this stage, we have not been notified of, or found any live ways to view the event, and even if we could, the contest will be taking place at around midnight Friday night Australia time. Stay tuned to the blog for any updates and results as we get them.

Below is the final riders list, and if you are after some more info and videos on the event, ESPN have a really detailed write-up on the event and conditions HERE, as well as a neat video interview with Levi Sherwood HERE.
