WFA Grand Prix of Moto-X to Air on FUEL TV
Malibu, CA December 13, 2005 - Gravity defying freestyle action and
the neon lights of Las Vegas, Nevada will be featured on FUEL TV. The
World Freestyle Association's Grand Prix of Freestyle Moto-X makes its
debut on the premiere action sports lifestyle network. Network airings
are on Monday, January 2nd at 9:30pm et/pt and 12:30 et/pt.
Performing in front of the WFA X Games selection committee, riders
challenged each other over two days of events and three disciplines of
competition - Freestyle, Step Up and Best Trick. Metal Mulisha star
Ronnie "Kung Fu" Faisst led the charge with Nevada Hardcore veterans
Dustin Miller and Drake McElroy fighting for a spot on the podium and
share of the weekend purse.
The fans who packed into the Orleans Arena in Las Vegas, the host venue
for the Grand Prix were treated to a rare sight when Arizona's Jim
McNeil successfully pulled the first seat grab backflip seen in
competition for over two years. Challenging McNeil for the Best Trick
crown was the upside down antics of Faisst and the latest attempt of
the "underflip" by European phenom, Ailo Gaup.
Hosted by Tes Sewell and Mike "The Godfather" Metzger, the show
highlights the action both on and off the course. "It's great to get a
look behind the scenes at what these guys are thinking as they go into
this sort of competition", commented Sewell. "And no one is better than
Metz at getting among the riders and fans to get the real reactions."
The show was produced by Paul Taublieb of Media X International, Inc.
(MXi), co-produced by Sewell, and directed and edited by Brian Meehan.
