Red Bull X-Fighters are freestyle motocross competitions. They are the most prestigious and most challenging freestyle motocross competitions in the world. The final was held for the first time at Batter Power Station, London.

I was invited along to be the Lighting Designer's assistant. I had met LD Paul Cook before, whilst working on the London Eye at New Year's.

The lighting was supplied by Essential Lighting and Designed and Programmed by Paul. It took 4 days (including the show day!) to set everything up and get it working.

The Essential crew were very knowledgeable and helpful, quickly setting up the vast rig and getting it working - which is a tricky task considering the possible issues involved with this project.

Paul gave me a lot of insight into the professional world of lighting and enhanced my love of the industry, the subject, and the technology.
