Under the stars of the Egyptian night with a spectacular backdrop of the Great Sphinx of the Giza plateau it was Adam Jones who emerged victorious against the best freestyle motocross riders from Europe, Asia, America and Australia in the Cairo round of the Red Bull 2010 X-Fighters World Tour.

The riders sailed 15 metres high and 30 metres in length but it was Jones who destroyed his 11 opponents’ dreams of victory by progressing all the way to the Final, where he tricked and flipped his way past the winner of the season opener in Mexico City, the Norwegian Andrè Villa, to win the event.

“This really is a dream come true for me. The conditions in Cairo weren’t easy, but my final run was perfect, and that meant the judges were then on my side,” grinned the 26-year-old.
