Résumé: 'Red Bull X-Fighters' – a cult-status event synonymous with the world's greatest freestyle motocross tour, where new benchmarks are set and riders present breathtaking freestle revolutions. When, after a long absence, Frenchman Thomas Pagès returned to the 2012 event in Munich, Germany, his fans were open-mouthed with admiration for his three sensational new tricks: the Vault, the Special Flip and, most importantly, the Flair, a 540-degree front flip. The era of back flips seems to have come to a sudden end.
