With NIGHT of the JUMPs Rd 4 in the history books, Team Czech surprised everyone with their huge win over Team Spain with some legends of the sport and the World Team with some of the biggest names with all of the accolades. Sport can surprise everyone!The full wrap-up podcast is over on the NIGHT of the JUMPs podcast, but for this one I wanted to look closer at what the Riders had to deal with. The course layout, the tight arena, the ramps and how Harry ended up going from Japan X Games on a different set-up to Pepa Aron's 1st gear crash.Anything can happen and that's why FMX is awesome!

Another X Games, another year that everyone jumps up and down about the judging!In 2023, Japan FMX Best Trick, there were 7 riders who were gunning for the Gold Medal and this time it was Jacko Strong who took home his 7th Gold Medal in Best Trick discipline, equalling Travis Pastrana's 7 in Freestyle and Ronnie Renner's 7 in Step-Up!Of course, there's always controversy around judging and this time it played out with the two big dogs of Best Trick – Jacko Strong and Rob Adelberg who have enough Gold Medals to sink a ship!They both threw down Front Flip No Handers, and you could very easily argue Adelberg had this one wrapped up. But Jacko won with the 'UnTucked' Frontie.I personally couldn't care less – both riders were freaking awesome and all 7 riders were on their game!But let me know what you think. This is my personal thoughts as I watched it all play out.1. Jackson Strong 96.332. Rob Adelberg 96.003. Harry Bink 95.004. Josh Sheehan 92.665. Taka Higashino 89.006. Adam Jones 86.007. Julien Vanstippen 84.66

This quick interview with Harry Bink directly after his crash in Munich has it all!From what went wrong in the crash, with the bike spluttering up the ramp, coming up short and having one of the most spectacular crashes we've seen.To walking away from it somehow unscathed and having words of wisdom at total positivity at the end.This is the mindset of champions and so glad to see Harry walk away from this one!

What is it with Munich, Germany?

Has all the beer flowed into the river and everything goes a bit haywire?

Harry Bink unfortunately didn't get the bike he hoped for when it cut out on him on the ramp, just before he was about to show the world what the Next Gen ramp is all about!

A quick update to let you know NIGHT of the JUMPs will be returning to Munich this weekend and it got me thinking about the FMX Community and how it feels like it's building again in recent times!

On a lazy Sunday afternoon drive home from NIGHT of the JUMPs, I decided it was the best time to recap what happened over 2 rounds of crazy competition in Berlin with some wild FMX, BMX, MTB and Scooter riding and even wilder crashes!  

Luckily, everyone survived in one piece and we saw some big upsets with Team Czech winning on Friday after Germany’s Luc Ackermann crashed in Best Trick and Alehandro Bonafe crashed in MTB for Team Spain.  

This is a podcast from the all new NIGHT of the JUMPs Podcast and thought you want to hear it over here on the Riders Lounge.And we’ve got some pretty huge news!  Dany Torres, the legend of Red Bull X-Fighters with the most ever head to head wins and taking a World Tour series win, will return to FMX for the first time since his retirement after having a full knee replacement.And he’ll be making his return at NIGHT of the JUMPs in the Freestyle of Nations event in Berlin on February 24/25.

Ryan Adler was told to stop whipping when he’s racing Motocross.  

It turns out he found his calling at KING of the WHIP!    

With not many years racing, Ryan has really twisted the throttle to become one of the fastest guys on a motocross bike but also throwing some of the coolest looking whips from a 125cc 2stroke and then jumping onto a 250 4 banger.    

And having only 4 or 5 sessions even jumping a ramp, Ryan got used to 75ft without any issues at all!  

Tune in to see if you can pronounce Afrikaan’s names better than Riders Lounge Podcast and King of the Whip host, Steve Sommerfeld.To be honest, I was tongue-tied.  Trying to get a name like Dirco van der Westerhuizen out in one go was impossible.
