The second round of the Red Bull X-Fighters World Tour takes place today in Giza, at the foot of the Great Sphinx. 12 riders will take part, with six qualifying from the Tour. After injuries to Dany Torres and Mat Rebeaud, only four of them will take part: Nate Adams (USA and current champion), Robbie Maddison (AUS), Eigo Sato (JPN) and Levi Sherwood (NZL). Eight other riders will take part and we’ll have more pics after today. In the meantime enjoy these images and the video from the ‘warm-up’ with an impressive jump in the sunset from Robbie Maddison.

Swiss Mat Rebeaud has won the third round of the Red Bull X-Fighters, held in Texas in front of 20,000 spectators.

On the Forth Worth track, constructed specifically for the event, 12 riders from around the world battled it out, but the European won in front of locals Jeremy Stenberg and Jeremy Lusk.

Rebeaud is at the top of the table with 280 points, and said of the US work “This is my first victory in America. I gave it everything in my last jump and if something had gone wrong I would have paid dearly.” The Swiss star managed a Backflip Superman Indy (in the photo), in the final run of the evening. “It was decisive in the victory. I felt under pressure but now the relief is indescribable.”
