In just three years of activity at a professional level, Slovenian freestyler Rok Bagoros has quickly become one of the most well-known figures of this discipline – and we have actually talked about his stunts quite often on these pages – but his most recent number is something that is going to take a special place in the heart of this guy as Bagoros took his now famous ‘RoKon Show‘ for the first time in Murska Sobota, his hometown, which understandably was more than eager to embrace his most celebrated hero.
The first part of the show that was dedicated to his fellow sportsmen, who came to support their friend and competed in a funny ‘slow speed’ race on Rok’s KTM Duke 200.
Out of the impressive guest-list of the show, surely worth mentioning are Klemen Gercar, current leader in MX3 world motocross championship, skicross world champion Filip Flisar, ski flying world champion Robert Kranjec, ski jumping legend and champion Primoz Peterka and European kick box champion Dejan Vajs, all of whom seem to have really enjoyed the show.
However, when the time of the man of the day came, Rok did his absolute best to make his home people proud.
He started and finished his RokOn show with fire.
Literally! With a jump through huge burning RokOn sign he shocked the public and than just danced his stunt show away, mostly on front or back wheel with insertions of huge smoking drifts while his KTM engine roared through Akrapovic exhaust.
He completed the show with a massive burnout with a bang, when his Sava tire exploded.
No one could stop the thrilled crowd after that! And they just surrounded their hero.
Read what the man of the day had to say right after the jump.
After the show, an understandably excited Rok Bagoros said: ‘That experience will stay in my memory forever! I wish to thank to all who came here to support me.
What more can a sportsmen desire if not just that! When I started the show and landed from a jump through burning RokOn sign I was shocked to see how many people came.
Thousands literally packed the street and many even climbed to the rooftops on surrounding buildings to see me perform.
All that gives me even more motivation to follow my ultimate goal and become the best stunt rider in the world.
I wish to thank to my sponsors that supported me on this event, without them all this would not be possible’.
