The Adrenaline Show of the Year Is Back
Prague, November 15, 2005 – Only a few days remain until the Nokia Freestyle Motocross show opens in Sazka Arena, organized by GSMA. Due to huge demand of the fans, the show takes place on Saturday November 19 from 6:00 pm and also on Sunday November 20 from 3:00 pm.

Gladiators in the arena are not only the topic of historians and movie scriptwriters. They inspired us to design a unique freestyle motocross show where history meets current. Are we any different from the inhabitants of the ancient Rome?

The show will evoke the atmosphere of the ancient Roman gladiator games. Eight foreign riders have confirmed their participation headed by the winner of this year’s Red Bull X-Fighters and X-Games Nat Adams.

The names of the riders ensure a truly modern FMX show in Europe’s newest hall – the Sazka Arena. It will most definitely be the showcase of the most daring tricks as Prague’s audience of 17,000 will drive the riders to their outer limits. However the backflip of the 14-year old Petr Pilát will probably become the highlight of the evening. Petr had prepared this trick for the last year’s event already but a serious injury knocked him out for 6 months forcing him to postpone the debut of his trick by one year.

“I am extremely happy we were forced to open the second show on Sunday to satisfy the high demand of the audience. This will be a great show and if Petr Pilát shows his backflip, also a feast for the Czech FMX scene. There’s nothing more left to say except for the greetings from Nat Adams, one of the greatest contemporary riders of the planet who’s very much looking forward to Prague.

According to Andy Bell, this event will be one of Europe’s best FMX shows,” said Marek Rejman, GSMA.
“Considering the fact that the show open also on Sunday, I believe this year’s event will be even more successful than the last year’s,” said Šárka Osmančíková, Marketing & PR Manager Nokia Czech Republic.
