Red Bull X-Fighters lands in Greece for the first time. The ultimate FMX World Tour includes the Hellenic Capital, Athens in the calendar and is set to offer an amazing spectacle inside Dionyssos Marble Quarry. Operating since the Golden Age of Pericles, the quarries of the area have provided thousands of cubic meters of marble used to build the Acropolis monument as well as most of the Classical, Hellenistic and Roman sculptures. On June 12th, the Red Bull X-Fighters riders promise to take us on a breathtaking journey connecting Now and Then. Metal Mulisha Athlete Rob Adelberg will be competing in Red Bull X-Fighters for the first time year, alongside of Tom Pages, Clinton Moore, Levi Sherwood, Josh Sheehan and a cast of talented athletes!
