BARCELONA INTERNATIONAL SUPERCROSS
The Barcelona Supercross is not a simple race where the riders compete for their interests only; it is much more than that. The SX of Barcelona has been creating and sharing enthusiasm, entertainment and emotion since 1989 with a faithful audience that year after year has warmly supported the competitors.
The riders congregating on the magic mountain of Montjuïc have known how to put aside their ambitions to create a new way of competing style enabling the audience to feel and experience, just like them, the joy disappointment and satisfaction.
There is a complete osmosis between the track and the stands that only the emblematic Palau Sant Jordi is able to create. The best Supercross riders in the world are present in Barcelona having become a classic date on the calendar. The Barcelona Supercross non-stop spectacle of almost three hours. Inspired by the races taking place in the United States, this event is very thrilling with intense races and all the necessary ingredients for spending a first class sporting afternoon with races, music, animation and jumps etc. The Barcelona SX is different from the classical classifying rounds, semi-finals and finals. It is replaced by the three full finals in each category.
The main attraction is the jumping competition where the best free-style specialists leave the spectators in Palau Sant Jordi awestruck.

He came with the idea of doing something big and ended
up doing it. Nate Adams has been the most applauded freestyle biker in the Sant
Jordi. Adams, a winner of a gold medal in the X Games, triumphed in the Xtreme
Jump with a repertoire of breath-taking jumps that opened wide the gates of
glory for him. A triumph with added value if we take into account that the
