Rebeaud Takes 2nd @ X-Fighters in Madrid

Mat Rebeaud grabbed 2nd place at the Red Bull X-Fighters in Madrid, Spain despite a broken hand suffered 2 weeks ago. With just 3 days on the bike before the event, Mat proved again that he is one of the best freestyle riders in the business. 6 screws and a plastic plate held his right hand together so he could twist the throttle enough to launch off of the ramps. Not easy.

Now Mat is revving for X-Games 13 this weekend in LA. With a silver medal from last year already in the trophy case, Mat is looking to grab up a gold for the top shelf.
