With the onset of performance oriented machines coming into the country coupled with the advent of internet exposure to today’s youth, motorcycle freestyle stunting has gathered immense popularity amongst Indian bikers and it is undoubtedly one of the best spectator sport in modern times since the days of gladiator fights. What better way then for an energy drink giant like Red Bull to focus on its target group of young guys into stunting than to bring the undisputed king of motorcycle stunting Chris Pfeiffer to the Indian shores.

The idea which began last year as the 2010 Chris Pfeiffer Red Bull India Tour, came back this year bigger, better and larger with the four-time stunting world champion performing in ten different cities across the country. We had the pleasure of watching the maestro up close and personal and there is only other thing that can probably leave us as speechless as Mr. Pfeiffer’s incredible control over two-wheels – watching him again! The man who started riding motorcycles at a tender age of 5 years, Chris Pfeiffer ventured into professional riding in 1996 and soon by the year 2000 he developed and promoted the discipline of freestyle stunt-riding. Gaining popularity around the world with physics defying tricks and stunts on his motorcycles, Pfeiffer went on to become the four-time World Champion in Stunt-Riding series and two consecutive wins at the German Stunt Open in 2009 and 2010.

At 41, Chris Pfeiffer packs in energy and enthusiasm of a 16-year old and does things even better than any of the younger stunters out there. Most striking part of his skill is the smoothness with which he pulls off these marvelous stunts. Right from the most basic seat wheelie to combos, old-school wheelies, can-cans and ofcourse, the most spectacular no-hander circle wheelies! It is incredible what he does on two-wheels and certainly admirable once you see the super-humble human side of him. Down-to-earth, candid and a complete showman!
