Fresh off the back of his stunning Red Bull X-Fighters World Tour victory in Pretoria earlier this month it’s clear to see that Tom Pagès is not yet done perfecting his art. Success in South Africa came off the back of his third straight win in Madrid and with the points piling up the Frenchman has a share of the series lead heading into the tour finale in Abu Dhabi on October 30.
So what allows Pagès to stay one step ahead of rivals? The answers can be found in the above clip, an exclusive edit from the movie Ride: World Elements by FourOhFour Films. The 2013 Red Bull X-Fighters World Tour champion reveals his admiration for co-stars such as Ryan Dungey and Jonny Walker as well as drawing inspiration from the likes of Travis Pastrana.
The Bike Flip is a trick that I watched in BMX, but I never thought it would be possible for FMX. Then I saw a Nitro Circus clip of Travis (Pastrana) trying it in a foam pit. I thought that it would be better to do it myself rather than wait for him.
