100,000 plus Brazilian FMX fans (it’s nice to know that soccer isn’t the only sport they follow) showed up at the “Esplanada dos Ministerios“ in the heart of Brasilia to watch Nate Adams defeat Robbie Maddison in the second round of the 2011 Red Bull X-Fighters World Tour with some incredible one-handed takeoff backflips, cliff hanger and lazy boy flips.
Third went to Andre Villa and fourth to 19-year-old Levi Sherwood, both not getting past the semi-final.
This is Adams’ fourth career win and the American now leads after the first two rounds with 165 points.
The leader coming into Brasilia was Dany Torres, who unfortunately had to pull out at the last minute due to a foot injury and now is fourth overall.
The series now heads to Rome, Italy on June 24 at the legendary Stadio Olimpico.
Check out the other video after the jump, with an explanation of how the X-Fighters competition works and the exotic names of some of the wildest stunts that these daredevils do.
