2014 Red Bull X-Fighters – Rnd2 Osaka, Japan 25 May

Red Bull sure choose the best places to hold X-Fighters, who wouldn’t want to watch these top athletes, flying through the air on their motocross bikes with Japans as the backdrop?  Wow!!!  Watch this jaw dropping round below.

Any way, more about this round of the competition.  The Osaka Castle and the Nishinomaru Garden will be – for the second time in a row – the venue for the Japanese leg of the tour, giving FMX fans the thrill of a lifetime. Japan’s most famous castle is located in the heart of Osaka and is easy to access for every fan.

Nishinomaru Garden, designated as a special historical site, is about 6.5 hectares and lies west of the castle and is full of greenery with some 600 cherry blossom trees, which are attracting numerous viewers throughout the year.
The park, which offers a magnificent view on the castle tower and the stonewalls, was opened to the public in 1965 and is the former residence of Kita no Mandokoro, the General Hideyoshi Toyotomi’s wife. Hideyoshi built the castle in the 16th century and was a preeminent warrior, general, and politician regarded as Japan’s second “great unifier”.
