THE COMEBACK KID

In 2002 the Red Bull X-Fighters jumped through Madrid's Las Ventas bullfighting arena for the very first time, with Spain’s Edgar Torronteras winning in front of a huge home crowd. His fans called him E.T. Now they call his successor D.T.
Dany Torres may only be 21, but he is already an old hand when it comes to busting out the most insane tricks on an FMX bike. In his Red Bull X-Fighters debut in Madrid in 2004, D.T. took an impressive seventh place. In 2005, he moved up two spots to fifth place, and in 2006 - in Mexico City as well as in Madrid – he took fourth. In 2007, his time had come: the Spanish wunderkind won Red Bull X-Fighters in Mexico City with a dominating performance.
“Dany’s trick list is up to here,” said FMX superstar Travis Pastrana. “I didn’t think he would be able to link the course how he did! I’m really impressed!”
After a couple of years plagued by injury, Torres proved his perfect sense of timing as he returned to fitness and form for his home even in Madrid in 2009. In front of a delirious crowd, Dany gave the world’s best FMX riders a lesson in style and trick execution as he went HUGE to win his first event for two years and send the Madrid fans wild. 

The 2010 season started with a crash that Torres had to deal with almost the whole season, as the injured hand simply did not get better for a while. 
Dany did not appear for the show in Egypt and was just back on the bike only a few days before the event in Russia. The 4th place on home soil in Las Ventas and the 3rd in London proofed that he is getting back to shape. All together Torres was only able to show his full potential during the 2010 final in Rome, when he was crowed for victory. The comeback kid came back another time, so lets see how 2011 will go down for him.
