A win at X Fighters London seals the deal on what Nate Adams is calling the greatest achievement of his career… he has taken the overall championship in the 2009 Red Bull X Fighters Tour.
In today’s FMX world, Red Bull X Fighters is one of the biggest contests with five events globally at super-unique locations, like stock yards, bull rings, and last weekend’s power plant, the infamous Battersea Power Station in London.
This year’s tour all culminated last weekend in London in front of 18,000 fans. Nate was solid in the standings, but without that win in London the overall championship would’ve been impossible. With mechanical precision and 360 variations (the only guy in London doing ‘em), the title belonged to Nate.
Props also go to Nate’s DC Moto teammate Robbie Maddison on taking second overall in the 2009 X Fighters standings. Nate KO’d Robbie in the semi’s in London when Robbie’s bike stalled, rendering it impossible to do tricks. Robbie still locked down a commendable 4th place at Battersea.
Congratulations to Nate and Robbie. For a good video recap with highlights from X Fighters London, click over to redbullxfighters.com.
