Rebeaud 2nd at Irish Red Bull X-Fighters

Dublin, Ireland - Mat Rebeaud is wasting no time getting back to form after breaking his femur late last year. He, and the other X-Fighter competitors, performed at Slane Castle in Dublin, Ireland this past weekend for the Irish Red Bull X-Fighters.

The 35,000 people in attendance witnessed Rebeaud iron out his tricks and quailfy for the final duel with Travis Pastrana. Unfortunately rain poured down, making it unsafe for the riders, and the final round was cancelled. The judges were forced to take the scores from the semi-finals and Pastrana edged out Rebeaud for the win.

Although he did not get the win, Rebeaud was pleased with a 2nd place finish (his best since his injury), and he is excited to continue competing and progessing.
Mat's next stop is the Dew Tour in Louisville on June 23rd.
