DThe Red Bull X-Fighters in London were interrupted by a heavy rain shower, but that didn't spoil the fun! The points for the championship were awarded based on the qualifying runs. Despite the soft surface, the world's best FMX riders still delivered a breathtaking show in the evening. And Levi Sherwood's performance in the wet conditions was actually almost as good as his 'dry run' in the afternoon. Sherwood even came up with a new trick (pictured) the super twisted-out Kiss of death backflip! Also check out the second clip to see this trick properly.
The riders and the jury came to a very sporting agreement not to let the weather influence the battle for the X-Fighters title. Based on the qualifying results, the The final will take place on October 1!
