Outlaws rider Mat Rebeaud soared high to take the title at the inaugural event of Red Bull X-Fighters 2008 at the sold-out Monumental Plaza de Toros in Mexico City on Friday night. The 2006 Mexico City champion overcame Spain’s Dany Torres after a memorable battle in the final.

The night belonged to Rebeaud, who delivered a perfect combination of showmanship, acrobatics and an array of huge, perfectly executed tricks.
