King of X-Fighters

Having the consistency to always finish in the points and survive a freestyle routine that has enough risk to make the top step of podium is the primary challenge of the Red Bull X-Fighters. Mat Rebeaud met that challenge and was able to impress the jaded panel of judges at each round without stepping off the motorcycle for a dirt nap or worse. That is why after completing five of six rounds in the series Rebeaud has already mathematically secured the Red Bull X-Fighters Series crown.    His latest victory in Germany was especially sweet for Rebeaud, as he was able to best Shane Lusk, who had beaten him earlier in the month at the X-Games. Rebeaud comes into the final round, to be held in Warsaw, Poland with the benefit of knowing he has already sewn up the series. This will allow Rebeaud free reign to loosen up and put on a freestyle clinic marked by extremely risky and difficult tricks for the fans in Poland.
