Mat Rebeaud Wins X-Fighters Madrid
July 19, 2008 – 2:13 am PT by GregTags: Andre Villa, Mat Rebeaud, Red Bull, X-Fighters —
Swiss rider Mat Rebeaud continued his winning ways on the Red Bull X-Fighters tour by taking his third event out of four in Madrid.
Rebeaud defeated Andre Villa in the final match. Aussie Robbie Maddison came in third while Jeremy Lusk came in fourth. Lusk got there by edging local favorite Dany Torres, who ended up in fifth. Torres did win Thursday’s best trick contest in a questionable finish over Rebeaud.
Fredrik Johansson failed to move to the quarter-finals but did pull the first-ever 540 for the quarter-pipe (see the video below).
The next stop in the X-Fighters tour will be in Germany on August 16. For more about the event, check out the official X-Fighters website.
