When the 7th Annual World Championships of Freestyle Motocross rides into Fairplex in Pomona on Saturday, October 3rd, the sports’ top stars will be assembled to mount their quest for the prestigious World Championship title. Only two men have won the title in the six years of the contest’s existence - Jeremy “Twitch” Stenberg (’07 and ’08) and Nate Adams (’03 – 06´).  They top this year’s line-up, which includes today’s premier motocross aerialists, ensuring that the battle on Saturday night will be hard fought.
