“No matter whether it’s about me as an individual, as a freestyle rider or as a racing rider: it’s always a question of being creative and showing the audience new, exciting things. It is simply amazing when the crowd starts to cheer even before you’ve started.”
Chris Birch with KTM 1190 Adventure R
Chris Birch, X-treme Enduro champion and RedBull Romaniacs winner shows some tricks on the KTM.
“A good way to think about it is to not think about the bike’s power to weight ratio but to think about my power to the bike’s weight ratio. I sort of got bored doing the enduros.”

McNeil is a champion freestyle motorcycle athlete who likes to ride his F800GS on the edge.
