6.30.09 XFIGHTERS FORT WORTH, TX
Levi Sherwood and Jeff Kargola were invited to compete in the Red Bull XFighters Fort Worth, TX round. Levi shocked the world at the first stop of the series, by coming into the event virtually unknown and beating the best riders in the world. Unfortunately, Levi was unable to compete due to a knee injury. Levi’s dad reported to Freerider Magazine saying, “The doctors have said there’s a bit of bone floating around underneath his knee-cap, and if he doesn’t get it addressed it’ll keep getting worse. At this stage it looks like he’ll be out for four weeks but is hopeful to be back in time for the Madrid round of the X-Fighters.” Look for Levi to be back on top soon!
Jeff “Ox” Kargola gave it his all in record high temperatures. The course was not to be taken lightly, as multiple riders suffered practice mishaps, including Ox. He over jumped a dirt table top to flat, injuring his hand. It appeared to be broken, but Ox wouldn’t let this hold him back from competing in his first XFighters competition. Event medics wrapped his hand enough for Ox to hold onto the bars. Ox gave it his all in the first-round qualifying, but the injured hand didn’t allow him to ride at 100%. Had he been, there is no doubt Ox would have advanced to the next round.
