On November 28th, the tenth-annual Gladiator Games will take place in the historic city of Prague, in the Czech Republic. ESPN FMX will be on hand covering the event, but for now, here is a press release to get you caught up on what's exactly going down and how epic this event's going to be. Keep in mind that this PR was written by a Czech ... so it may not be the tightest when it comes to grammatical excellence.
In 2000 was the first pure Freestyle Motocross in Europe. The small hockey arena of Brno in the Czech Republic hosted the biggest names of the sport at the time. No one really understood what was being created. The biggest bang was to do something new and untraditional and different to anyone else. Since then, a complete industry has been created, changing the lives of many people and setting a bench mark for the new generation. As the sport evolved, the laws of physics were broken over and over again. Today we have a sport were we can openly say that everything is possible. Impossible is becoming to be a missing vocabulary in the world of Freestyle Motocross.
