Red Bull X-Fighters World Series 2010 Gets Underway

The Great Sphinx of Giza and 10,000 fans cast a keen eye over the 12 best FMX athletes on the planet on Friday night.

At the second stop of the Red Bull X-Fighters World Tour 2010 desert winds, sand and temperatures of 40 degrees Celsius pushed man and machine to the limit.

Adam Jones held off Andre Villa in an all out final run to take home the winner’s trophy from the amazing event in Giza.

Speaking after his win, Jones excitedly said "This is the best feeling ever, I haven't won anything in nearly two years.

"It feels awesome and it means so much. It means I'm myself again! I have a lot more confidence going into Moscow now."
