Twelve of the best freestyle motocross riders in the world came together in Fort Worth, Texas last Saturday for round 3 of The Red Bull X-Fighters. Riders were greeted by a massive technical course that took 850 truckloads of dirt and three weeks to build inside the Fort Worth Stockyards.
Nate Adams made the best use of the course and nailed everything in his bag of tricks. He capped each run with an off-axis backflip nac-nac combo. He won qualifying, beat Adam Jones in round one, Eigo Sato in round two, and got every judges vote for the overall victory against Mat Rebeaud. Adams missed round one of the tour in Mexico with an injury, lost in quarterfinals in Calgary to Robbie Maddison, and now sits 70 points out of the lead with two rounds to go.
Adams was all smiles after taking his first win in a while
