Sudbury Hyundai will showcase thirteen top international pros from the FMX and BMX pro circuit in the 2007 Hyundai Freestyle Motocross World Tour.  The event will take place on Saturday, Oct. 27 at 7:30 pm at the Sudbury Community Arena. The Hyundai FMX World Series is an Extreme Sport action competition that was formed to tour Canada, USA, Mexico and select European countries. Its roots and history have began in the 1990's, pressuring the athletes to go bigger and higher every year.
With household names like Travis Pastrana, the sport has grown to become an international phenomenon! The Tour is a blend of athletic ability and extreme stunt competitions that will have Ontario Fans on their feet. It features some of the top Pro riders in the World performing only in eight cities here in Canada, said a news release.
Superman Seat Grab, Cliff Hanger, Kiss of Death, Back Flip Combinations are just some of the tricks that will be used to fight for the championship title.   Each rider will be jumping their 250cc bikes at 40 feet vertical with a 50-60 foot gap.  Three competitions will take place at the event; dueling duos, in which two riders synchronized their stunts in a team effort, a BMX competition, and the FMX World Series Competition
The World Series Competition starts off with a preliminary run and than a semi final run in order to select the top four pro riders for the big final.  Each rider is given an allocated time to throw out as many extreme tricks which will be judged on composure and difficulty.  The score for each rider is determined by a judge appointing 0-100 points, with 100 being the best possible run. The scores are added and averaged giving the rider a final score from 0-100 for the run.  The champion will be selected by the highest points in which they will take home the event title and increase their point standing in the overall tour championship.
