Pro X-Games come to Cape Town

If adrenalin sports are what you are after then you are in for a treat this weekend with the Pro X-Games being held near Cape Town.  World class sports men and women will be competing on Saturday the 6th and Sunday the 7th in events which include BMX, FMX, Skateboarding, Mountain Biking and Supercross.  An expo area will showcase relevant brands and the latest equipment and sporting wear for all the sports showcased.

Half-pipes, dirt tracks and rails will be testing the competitors who will be competing for some fabulous prizes and the title of Pro X-Games champion.   The venue this year is at Zone 7 which is up the West Coast, just a short trip from Cape Town.  There are camping facilities offered for those who would like to stay for the weekend and make the most of the different events and live music on offer.

The semi-finals are on Saturday with the finals on Sunday.  Tickets allow you entrance to the event grounds and the Expo area as well as all the events.  This is something which shouldn’t me missed if you are into adrenalin sports and the lifestyle which accompanies them.
