2011 XDL Stunt Championship Includes Racing Part

Among the many innovations for the XDL Championship Series 2011 season is a brand new competition format called the Racing 905 Speed & Style Cup. It is a national points championship that pits two riders against each other in a head-to-head format that features a stunt race down the track and back with an opportunity to gain a time bonus for style points.

"This competition combines the best of stunt riding and racing," stated XDL founder Randy Grube. "It is fast, aggressive, easy to follow, has a clear winner and will showcase an incredible amount of daring and talent. We are really pumped about this new format because it is so exciting and so TV-friendly."

As title sponsor of the new format is street bike stunt accessories manufacturer Racing 905, the company responsible with the development of the first 3-point crash cage (Racing 905 Stunt Armor).

"This is an exciting time for us because we've been in this sport for such a long time and now we are directly associated with a competition format that will take the sport to an all-new level in terms of popularity," explained Racing 905 founder Aaron Celiceo.
