All skill. No frills. XDL put motorcycle stunt riding on stadium floors, city streets and national TV, and it's still where the world's best riders come to prove it.
XDL is the competition series for street bike freestyle, the sport most people know as motorcycle stunt riding. Wheelies, stoppies, circles, switchbacks and combos, judged head to head by the people who built the sport.
It started in 2005 as a drifting-and-stunt spectacle and grew into a national points championship. Since then XDL has run rounds from Daytona to Long Beach, filmed a TV series, brought pro riders to the International Motorcycle Shows tour and worked with city governments on safe, legal places to ride.
Today XDL Events LLC runs championship competitions, live stunt shows, the XDL Street Jam and rider development, led by Director of Competition and emcee Chris "Tice" Theis.
