After the Red Bull series of 1,000 frames per second starring Casey Stoner, Andrea Dovizioso and Hiroshi Aoyama, the energy drink company has turned its slo-motion cameras towards two time motocross champion James ‘Bubba’ Stewart while he’s training at his home practice track in Haines City, Florida. Stewart also offers up his own little ’secrets’ on dirt riding in the video.

In the opening round of the 2012 AMA Supercross championship that took place at Angel Stadium on Saturday night, JS7 finished sixth after crashing as he was headed towards the podium, while Ryan Villipoto took the victory on his Kawasaki.

We’ve already seen the video of Robbie Maddison’s and Levi LaVallee’s jumps at this year’s 2011 Red Bull: New Year. No Limits that took place at San Diego’s Embarcadero, with LaVallee breaking the record, while Maddison came up short, but check out this video from LaVallee’s on-board GoPro camera that Red Bull released which gives a entirely new perspective on the daring feat that the two did.

Red Bull is continuing their 1000 fps series and after Casey Stoner and Andrea Dovizioso, it’s Hiroshi Aoyama’s turn to get the slow motion treatment for the ‘Perfect Lap.’

The former 2009 250cc World Championship who is currently 10th in the MotoGP standings says that going 300 km/h is scary, but he “likes that feeling.”

If you were impressed at seeing Casey Stoner at 1,000 fps check out the newest Red Bull video, this time it’s with Andrea Dovizioso. Two Honda Repsol riders, two riders with completely different styles of riding.

Dovi Power as he’s know to Italians, discusses the perfect lap and check out how he takes his RC212V around the track and the way the camera concentrates on showing Bridgestone’s tires working in slow motion and marvel on how very little rubber the riders are actually on in a turn.

Enjoy the video.

Red Bull has a series of awesome videos dubbed 1000 fps (1,000 frames per second) and their latest is on MotoGP’s Casey Stoner.

The Australian isn’t one of the smoothest riders in the world (like Max Biaggi or Jorge Lorenzo) but his riding style is spectacular to watch and highly effective as his four wins this season and first place in the current standings can attest, besides being the rider who has more race wins in the 800cc era.

Check out this video and get an eyeful, while turning green with envy as you watch him on his lean angle as he enters a turn in slow motion.

We’ve already mentioned Ashley Fiolek in the past and her amazing and inspirational story in the book Kicking Up Dirt.

Only 21, she’s one of the hottest female motocross riders to grace a dirt track and overcoming her physical handicap has won the WMA championship twice (the first time as a rookie) and she’s also two times X Games gold medalist and the first woman to be signed to the Red Bull Racing Team.

Her sponsor has decided to have her star in this spectacular commercial that shows just some of Fiolek’s immense talent on her Honda, so enjoy.

Stunt rider Chris Pfeiffer is heading on a world tour with Red Bull and the first stop was the city of Colombo in Sri Lanka, where he delighted the crowds with burn outs, wheelies and stoppies.

We all know Pfeiffer is simply awesome performing motorcycle stunts on a F800 R, but check out how he also wowed fans by using a simple bicycle backwards up.

Andrea Dovizioso may have crashed out his HRC Honda during the Red Bull U.S. Grand Prix at Laguna Seca last month, but it looks like his disappointment didn’t last for long because his sponsor Red Bull took him around California, where the Italian rider tried his hand at surfing and stunt driving.

In the video you can also admire how Dovizioso handles a motocross bike. Motocross riding, on and off track, is a vital part of almost all MotoGP riders training and fitness programmes.

The Red Bull X-Fighters World Tour final will take place at the Battersea Power Station in London on August 22nd. The spectacular location has been renovated to host the event and 12 of the best Motocross Freestyle riders will participate, with 17,000 spectators anticipated to attend.

Red Bull reports:

A surge of energy will bring Battersea Power Station to life on 22 August 2009 as the dramatic setting is transformed to play host to the Red Bull X-Fighters World Tour finale.

Red Bull X-Fighters Recharges Battersea Power Station

A surge of energy will bring Battersea Power Station to life on 22 August 2009 as the dramatic setting is transformed to play host to the Red Bull X-Fighters World Tour finale. Twelve of the world’s best Freestyle Motocross (FMX) riders will descend on the British capital to thrill a 17,000-strong crowd as they perform gravity-defying tricks to battle it out for the world title in front of the famous white chimneys.

A double first: not only is it the first time Red Bull X-Fighters has touched down in the UK, it’s also the first time that both the inside and outside of Battersea Power Station will be used as part of the set to entertain the general public.

Red Bull X-Fighters is a high-energy spectacle in which riders on motorbikes combine power, skill, showmanship and bravery to excite fans. The World Tour has garnered a huge international following since its conception in 2001 with jumps and tricks getting harder, higher and longer every year – often reaching heights of 40 feet.

In 2008, 170,000 spectators saw the Red Bull X-Fighters World Tour climb to new heights with spectacular contests in the bull fighting arenas of Mexico City and Madrid, the stone quarry of Wuppertal in Germany, the Sambadrome parade ground in Rio de Janeiro, a rodeo arena in Texas and a gigantic historic stadium in Warsaw – which was brought back to life for a day before it was then taken down by the wrecking ball.

The 2009 calendar is no less impressive and before making its debut in London, the series will have already touched down in Mexico City (Mexico), Calgary (Canada), Fort Worth (Texas, USA) and Madrid (Spain).

Sally Chatterjee, Interim Chief Executive, Visit London says: “Red Bull has a history of creating innovative and highly entertaining events that make the most of London’s unique landscape. As such I’m delighted Red Bull X-Fighters has chosen the iconic Battersea Power Station to host the final of its World Tour. The Power Station is a spectacular urban venue and will serve as an incredible backdrop for thousands of people to enjoy such a dynamic show.”

Tickets will be on sale from 1st June and range between £20-45, for more information visit www.redbullxfighters.com and for information on accommodation, restaurants and other activities for a London stay, visit event partner www.visitlondon.com

This gallery comes from the Red Bull battle on two wheels challenge between Alvaro dal Farra, famous Italian freestyler, and Ivan Lazzarini, Italian Supermotard Champion. A program was set for the riders to challenge each other in the different disciplines, after previous meetings in the Red Bull Ape Race and the Red Bull X-Kart Race.

Freestyler Alvaro has generally had the upper hand, and so Ivan had a new challenge on the supermotard circuit, lapping Alvaro more than once.

But the foam pit was the breaking point for Ivan who, after years of supermotard racing, couldn’t get the right position to lean backwards and close a back flip. Both riders apparently had a lot of fun learning new things, but there’s something about old dogs and new tricks, particularly when we’re talking slides and backflips.
