The 2025 Freestyle Showdown tour continues to gain serious momentum.
This past weekend in Milan was one for the history books: over 18,000 spectators packed into the Unipol Forum, setting a brand-new single-day attendance record for the venue! This also marks the biggest FMX show ever held in Italy.
Â
History was made in more ways than one:
Rebecca Busi became the first woman to ever backflip a buggy, successfully landing the trick during morning practice! Unfortunately, a hard landing and short braking zone caused a rollover, damaging the buggy and keeping her from repeating the feat in front of the home crowd. Still, a groundbreaking moment for women in motorsports!
Â
The Italian crowd brought next-level energy, and our riders delivered accordingly—with FMX icon David Rinaldo and 14 year old BMX superstar Connor Stitt pushing the limits alongside an absolutely stacked cast.
Freestyle Motocross legend Edgar Torronteras brought home the M.O.D Best Whip award after receiving a standing ovation by the italian crowd.
Â
Milan also saw surprise visits from some big names:
Football legend Mario Balotelli showed his love for freestyle, while Barbara and Nicole Berlusconi and their family got an exclusive backstage tour from Masters of Dirt founder and CEO Georg Fechter.

Next stop:Â GRAND FINALE IN GRAZ!
Before the tour heads to Germany, we’re bringing the madness back home—ready to crown this chapter of the Freestyle Showdown with an unforgettable Austrian send-off.
