Rebeaud Steals the Show in Bercy

SCOTT-sponsored Swiss freestyle star Matt Rebeaud thrilled thousands of adoring fans over three days this past weekend at the biggest SX in Europe, Bercy. While James “Bubba” Stewart owned the racing, Rebeaud owned the intermissions, where he showcased the bag of tricks which secured him the Red Bull X-Fighters crown earlier this year. Rabid French fans went berserk throughout Rebeaud’s exhibition run, blowing their modified horns and revving the blade- and chain-less chainsaws many of them carried.   Stewart also put on a show during the three-day event, winning all 18 of his races. In doing so, Stewart added his name to the hallowed list of champions who have won at Bercy in the past. The most notable of these former champions, Chad Reed, won every race but one he entered in last year’s event.
SCOTT has sponsored the Bercy SX event for many years and this year SCOTT stepped up its involvement, becoming the main sponsor. For those who have never attended the Bercy SX, this is a truly unique event and it should be on every hardcore SX fan’s to-do list.
