GRAND NATIONAL CHAMPION BRAD “THE BULLET” BAKER PREVIEWS THE X GAMES IN AUSTIN
In 1995, ESPN launched the first X Games, an international competition bringing together the top action sports athletes in the world. Reigning AMA Pro Grand National Champion Brad “The Bullet” Baker previews the X Games in Austin - Harley Davidson’s New Street 750 Shifts X Games into High Gear!
After scorching the ice at X Games Aspen, the new Harley-Davidson Street™ 750 will kick up the dirt, and the action, in Austin, as the company extends its partnership with ESPN. As part of the X Games Austin line-up, Harley-Davison will feature an exhibition Flat Track motorcycle race at the network’s flagship extreme sports event.
Reigning AMA (American Motorcycle Association) Pro Grand National champion Brad “the Bullet” Baker will lead the exhibition on the Street 750 – the first all-new motorcycle platform from Harley-Davidson in 13 years. In the spirit of the customer-led product development approach that Harley-Davidson utilized to create the Street, fans will be empowered to decide if Flat Track Racing should become a future medal sport at the X Games – just as they did for Ice Racing at X Games Aspen.
