Spectators witnessed two hours of non-stop thrills, spills, and gravity-defying action at the DHL Cape Town Stadium on Saturday evening when the world’s biggest freestyle motocross and BMX spectacle, Freestyle Kings Live, came to town.

The tour brought together some of the biggest names in the sport such as the assertive American Ronnie Mac and Australian trio Robbie Maddison, the modern-day Evel Knievel, and FMX World Champions Rob Adelberg and Pat Bowden who visited South Africa for the first time.

Maddison’s 14-year-old son Kruz showed that FMX is in his blood.

Local FMX hero Dallan Goldman joined the international visitors
