Red Bull X-Fighters 2011 Rome-Highlights

The world's top 12 freestyle motocross athletes converted Rome's Stadio Olimpico into a modern Circus Maximus on Friday.

Andre Villa (NOR) took second place and whiz kid Josh Sheehan (AUS) came out of nowhere to take third place in the third stop of the 2011 Red Bull X-Fighters Tour.
