We have been so used to watching the same old riders being shuffled out to a Best Whip competition at X Games since about 2010. It has been so hard for any young guys to get a foot in the door to try prove themselves against so many medal winners and contenders from Jeremy ‘Twitch’ Stenberg, Ricky Carmichael, Jarryd McNeil, Tom Parsons, Edgar Torronteras, Josh Sheehan, Genki ‘Wanky’ Watanabe etc.
Best Trick Live Companion – Triple Flips landed in FMX Competition at Nitro World Games 2022. RLP x Clint Esposito Show
Nitro World Games 2022 produced the craziest Best Trick event we have seen since Travis Pastrana landed the Double Flip in 2006 X Games.
This time around, it would be not one, but two riders who would create FMX Competition history with Jayo Archer and Harry Bink going head to head to land the Triple Backflip for the first time in a comp.
Clint and I surprised ourselves on a more in-depth look at Nitro World Games and will we see the Triple, 720, Body Varials or even crazier stuff!? Thanks to Clint Esposito Show for the audio!
As I was on the road driving through France, Belgium and into Germany I joined Clint Esposito on his show to talk more in-depth about Nitro World Games 2022 which could be one of the most defining FMX competitions EVER.
Are we about to witness FMX History at Nitro World Games?! 2022 Riders List and what could we expect.
With Nitro World Games just a few days away, I wanted to give you the rider list before we are about to possibly witness history being made!
Will it be Jayo and Bink going at it for the Triple Backflip – first to be landed in Competition? A trick only landed once by Sheeny?
Or will it be Clinton Moore on the 720? Also only landed once by Travis Pastrana? Only a guess, but hey… not a bad guess I think!
180ft dirt transfers and moon booters built out of dirt! Red Bull Imagination companion piece with Clint Esposito
The 2022 Red Bull Imagination competition went even bigger compared to the previous years! Tyler Bereman and co built upon the past 2 years courses to produce something special and the crowning glory was Tyler sacking up and sending this huge 180 feet transfer jump which blew everyone’s minds!
Lost in the Jungle! Short clip from Crazy Action Sports Stories
All I could see in my mind, was a newspaper headline saying “Idiot Australian lost in Indonesia Jungle”
What started as a disaster on my first ever FMX Tour of Indonesia, turned into a really cool opportunity to go riding in the jungle to the top of a volcano with Sheeny and Clinton Moore. And then almost back to disaster again!
Banks Hovey – More than 110s
This week we’ve got one of the top 110 riders in the world with us right now, but don’t go sticking him in that box. This dude is talented on anything with 2 or 4 wheels and has an engine. Keeping it old school and preferring it to be a 2 stroke!
From Motocross to Supercross, Rally, Side by Sides, 110s, BMX or whatever he can get his hands on, Banks Hovey appears to be part of the next generation of riders hellbent on having fun above all else and it shows in every video I’ve watched.
Adelberg creates history at X Games 2022 with Frontie to Frontie – Full Review of Moto X
History has been made in X Games Moto this year with Jacko Strong landing the first ever 110ft Front Flip, before Rob Adelberg bested it with the first ever Front Flip to Front Flip in a line (Next Gen ramp into 110ft ramp) to blow everyone’s mind.
Guillem Navas broke the Quarter Pipe Highest Air record on his first jump of the competition but by the end of the comp, Colby Raha set a new record of 49 feet 0 inches!
And Julien Vanstippen just unleashed one of the biggest whips we’ve ever seen on a 110ft ramp by going completely upside down, inside out and back to front!
