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! We just saw the return from retirement of Dany Torres in Berlin. In Munich, Libor Podmol will be coming out of retirement. Harry Bink will be coming to NIGHT of the JUMPs for the first time ever. And Maikel Melero happily rented his bike to Harry (his competitor!) for the weekend. Not to mention we just had the live stream from Berlin 1 month ago and the chat was integrated into the telecast from YouTube and how much cooler it felt to speak with all of the FMX fans around the world. It just felt like I was back in the forums of FreestyleMTX.com or FMXAustralia.com like 20 years ago! Did you get the same feeling?

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.   Filip Podmol landed his first ever Double Hart in Best Trick and with the points already high after consistent runs from each rider and a Best Whip win to Matej Cesak - Czech Republic took the night!   Saturday night got even wilder, with Matej's crash in Best Whip and then Filip's Double Flip attempt in Best Trick!    Exactly the reason BigAirBag has come on board, to save these guys lives and we will see them compete again very soon!

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. Dany will be riding with Maikel Melero again, who were both part of the first ever Freestyle of Nations win in 2014 for Team Spain.  This time with Jose Miralles retired, Marc Pinyol will jump in to fill the gaps! Riding for Team Germany on home soil will be Luc Ackermann!  The current World Champion and X Games gold medallist will be joined by the real local from Berlin, Kai Haase.  Kai is one of the most naturally talented riders in all forms of 2 wheel dirt action, having competed in Supercross, Motocross, Hard Enduro, Speedway, Flat Track and Downhill MTB.  And to fill out the German team, they've brought in the wild card again of David Rinaldo after his last performance helped them snag a win in Cologne 2022. Team Czech Republic will be tough to beat with the European Champion Petr Pilat, followed by the younger of the Podmols, Filip Podmol and the young style cat Matej Cesak! Tune in for the LiveStream next week on either YouTube or Facebook with 2 competitions.  Friday Night and Saturday night!  Links to both platforms and nights here: YouTube Friday Night: https://youtube.com/live/2vemRfj7RmQ Saturday Night: https://youtube.com/live/YQ9oX0HyTKk Facebook Friday Night: https://fb.me/e/2xIT82Dd0 Saturday Night: https://fb.me/e/2pRO7gA1Z Riders Lounge Podcast Contact Website: https://ridersloungepodcast.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ridersloungepodcast/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Ridersloungepodcast/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCihhYzgsvog6Z10uQ_8ePdA TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@ridersloungepodcast Riders Lounge Merch Store is available now https://teespring.com/stores/riders-lounge Thanks to Lakes Networking for the new Website!  If you want your site built by the best, contact https://www.lakesnetworking.com.au Want to book a Rothaus Brewery Tour with our Partners? https://besichtigung.brauereigasthof-rothaus.de/terminauswahl.html Thank you to Rothaus Brewery from Germany for their unbelievable Tannenzaepfle Range of Beers and Alcohol-free beers for this show.

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!   Check this kids whips out!

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. I was struggling hard with the South African names and Jacques decided to help out with the pronounciation! If you have ever listened to the 12th Man series which is an absolute piss-take of the Australian Channel 9 commentary team across Cricket mainly and other sports, the long running gag was trying to say Pakistani, New Zealander names for example.  And I had the same feeling like I was Bill Lawry trying to talk to Tony Greig with the doyen of cricket commenatry, Richie Benaud blasting me. Anyway, after all of that, I caught up with one of South Africa's FMX young guns, Jacques Human to see how he felt bringing new tricks to Montecasino in Johannesburg and if the wind was going to be a factor in throwing down for King of the Whip.

Dalton Venter, the 4 time African Motocross champion and 2 time South African champion managed to somehow convince the team manager from Monster Energy Yamaha Racing team to let him and his team mates go and whip the hell out of a steel FMX ramp at King of the Whip and there was a fair chance he could win it! When I watched Dalton for the first time training at the Jungle Rush FMX compound, he was going so big that I couldn't believe it!  Huge whips, upside down, back to front, dropping the front end so hard and coming back without even a puff of smoke or an engine rev. His whips would not have looked out of place at X Games Best Whip if I was honest.  So the reigning X Games Gold Medallist, Julien Vanstippen who was flying in for his first King of the Whip competition wasn't going to have it easy. Tune in to find out how Dalton managed to convince the team boss to let him, Jesse Wright and Dirco van der Westhuizen go and shred some mesh in front of 5,000 screaming South African fans.

After finally meeting Dallan after so many years, it was great to grab a quick 5 minute chat with him before he was about to throw down at King of the Whip and see if he could stand on top of the box at the end of the night. During our chat though, I was surprised when he dropped the bombshell that he was considering quitting FMX because of the backflip monkey on his back.  And this is no joke.  The backflip has ended the career of many riders.  Of guys who couldn't land it.  And worse, those who crashed out badly.  No one will know how hard it is until they deal with this themselves and really look at how dangerous it is. And what is great, after putting in all of the work and backing himself, Dallan has been rewarded with being South Africa's number 1 FMX rider and being invited to some of the coolest events like KING of the Whip. This is a quick one, tune in and let us know what you think of the shorter podcasts from directly at the events.   You can watch this interview on Recast or YouTube also here: (which is way better):  Recast: https://share.recast.tv/v/5lyrb?referrer=8Plb2 YouTube: https://youtu.be/0e-ACd7clUA Dallan Goldman: https://www.instagram.com/dallan_goldman/ Riders Lounge Podcast Contact Website: https://ridersloungepodcast.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ridersloungepodcast/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Ridersloungepodcast/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCihhYzgsvog6Z10uQ_8ePdA TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@ridersloungepodcast Riders Lounge Merch Store is available now https://teespring.com/stores/riders-lounge Thanks to Lakes Networking for the new Website!  If you want your site built by the best, contact https://www.lakesnetworking.com.au Want to book a Rothaus Brewery Tour with our Partners? https://besichtigung.brauereigasthof-rothaus.de/terminauswahl.html Thank you to Rothaus Brewery from Germany for their unbelievable Tannenzaepfle Range of Beers and Alcohol-free beers for this show.

Normally a Best Whip competition is just a small side act, of a bigger Freestyle Motocross competition or Motocross / Supercross race.   How did Ryan van der Spuy manage to bring the best riders in South Africa and now international riders like Julien Vanstippen (X Games gold medallist) to try out this crazy new event idea from the best FMX riders, MX, SX and even Enduro racers!?   The entire show blew me away and I was also very pumped to host the show for 2022 at Montecasino!     The hard part from all of this - how will they go even bigger for 2023?

Less than one hour before the King of the Whip was about to go down, I grabbed a few quick chats with the riders to see how they were dealing with the pressure.   And no one had more pressure than the reigning King of the Whip, Scotty Billet.    It had been 3 years since the previous round of competition, and with X Games Gold Medallist Julien Vanstippen flying in, he knew he had some work to do to stay on top of the box.   As you can hear in this chat, Scotty really wasn't too stressed at all coming into the comp.  He was just waiting for a screw to come loose and to send it as big as he could! Thanks to LW Mag, King of the Whip and Grant Lucas for their help in these interviews from South Africa!

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. So when this new kid from Belgium got his shot at X Games Japan and snuck his way onto his first podium in 3rd place at his first X Games appearance, we knew there was more to this story than just one event and we'll never see him again. X Games at Axell Hodges' home compound provided the best ramp for JVS to show his skills, with that huge whip over the 120ft ramp where he just obliterated everyone elses whips that came before.  Taking the X Games Gold Medal was a no-brainer, and the invitations he received to ride at Red Bull Imagination was all but secured, even for a Monster Energy rider. And we finally caught up with Julien down in South Africa at the unique King of the Whip competition held at Montecasino in Johannesburg where he was crowned King in front of a screaming 5,000 strong crowd to take it out at the 4th ever event. This interview was held a couple of days later when we were trying to recover from the after party and had checked out some of the sights of Africa with a Safari as well. If you're listening to this on Spotify, Google or Apple Podcasts, I'd recommend you jump on over to Recast to watch the full video interview which was put together we heaps more footage from KING of the WHIP and a huge shout out to Grant Lucas for doing it for us!  Absolute legend man!  You can watch here: https://share.recast.tv/v/8g3xq?referrer=8Plb2  This helps out our channel so much more than YouTube.  But if you want to only watch on YouTube, you can go here: https://youtu.be/2FfSYcySlb4 Riders Lounge Podcast Contact Website: https://ridersloungepodcast.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ridersloungepodcast/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Ridersloungepodcast/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCihhYzgsvog6Z10uQ_8ePdA TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@ridersloungepodcast Riders Lounge Merch Store is available now https://teespring.com/stores/riders-lounge Thanks to Lakes Networking for the new Website!  If you want your site built by the best, contact https://www.lakesnetworking.com.au Want to book a Rothaus Brewery Tour with our Partners? https://besichtigung.brauereigasthof-rothaus.de/terminauswahl.html Thank you to Rothaus Brewery from Germany for their unbelievable Tannenzaepfle Range of Beers and Alcohol-free beers for this 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. Not to mention, we had the mystery surrounding Clinton Moore whose name appeared out of nowhere and could produce a plethora of the world's biggest tricks to steal the thunder from the Triple Flip. Throw into the mix, the man who landed the first ever Triple Flip in 2015 at Travis Pastrana's house on a Wooden death trap, Josh Sheehan and a ragtag bunch of riders will to risk it all with Jayden South, Scott Fitzgerald (TopDog) and Adam Jones! To be honest, again, I have joined the Clint Esposito show.  This was totally unplanned and I was even in bed.  But this was streamed Live on YouTube and Facebook and I think you'll enjoy this even more if you watch the video version.  And you can watch it here: https://youtu.be/D_RoUTwN0Gk I hope you enjoy this episode and we'll grab these guys to hear their thoughts very soon!  Stay tuned to the Podcast for more!

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. I already covered this in the short 15 minute Riders List a few days ago, but we go into wayyyyy more details and Clint thought of things I didn't cover as well! So sit back, enjoy and let me know who you think will win this competition!  In FMX & Best Trick!

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! You can watch it all on October 22 on Nitro's YouTube channel Best Trick: Josh Sheehan Harry Bink Jayo Archer Pat Bowden Clinton Moore Adam Jones Scott Fitzgerald (TopDog) FMX: Josh Sheehan Harry Bink Pat Bowden Adam Jones Ben Richards Riders Lounge Podcast Contact Website: https://ridersloungepodcast.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ridersloungepodcast/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Ridersloungepodcast/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCihhYzgsvog6Z10uQ_8ePdA TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@ridersloungepodcast Riders Lounge Merch Store is available now https://teespring.com/stores/riders-lounge Thanks to Lakes Networking for the new Website!  If you want your site built by the best, contact https://www.lakesnetworking.com.au Want to book a Rothaus Brewery Tour with our Partners? https://besichtigung.brauereigasthof-rothaus.de/terminauswahl.html Thank you to Rothaus Brewery from Germany for their unbelievable Tannenzaepfle Range of Beers and Alcohol-free beers for this show.

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! This episode is taken from the Companion video which I joined on for the Two Wheels to Freedom channel with Clint Esposito. So we get to repurpose the audio clip for you guys here who are listening on podcasts while you're building your own jumps in a dozer or wherever you are. Again, it makes more sense to probably watch this on YouTube so you can catch it here: https://youtu.be/viNwjNyGICw  What was your favourite part of the comp?  For me, watching the training videos beforehand!  Hands down better than the actual comp footage.  But that's the reason everyone's there, right?  To just send it!

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! This is a short clip from when I joined Clint Esposito's new segment, Crazy Action Sports Stories for the Two Wheels to Freedom channel.   We did a video interview where I joined him to tell my one stupid / crazy story and thought I'd clip it for you guys to listen here as Audio Only. I do recommend though, if you have time to watch it, it's probably better to go check out Clint's YouTube channel and watch the clip.  If you stay around and listen to the audio only, well thank you very much!

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. I love watching his no stuffing around approach to rolling in and just hitting any jump put in front of him. If you haven’t heard of him yet, well you must not have been listening to any of the last 12 months of podcasts, but he’s cut his teeth riding 110s on the big stage of X Games and ended up with the Silver Medal at this years event at Axell Hodges’ house, and only beaten to the top spot by Axell himself. But very quickly we’ve seen him riding some of the biggest events like Nitro Circus Live Tours and watching him smash the Next Gen ramp or Moon Booter. Ramps that aren’t to be sneezed at. And then you get an impression of how fast he’s coming along on his progress in FMX. But like I said, there’s no Box you can put Banks in, he’s just taking on everything and having fun along the way.

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! X Games is still delivering huge moments in FMX history, and we go into who was invited, who wasn't.  Who won.  Who lost.  Who crashed their brains out and who created history. We also delve into some of the hot topics of it being back at Slayground, no crowds, 90% Monster Energy riders, where the hell is Pat Bowden's invite, Bilko's awesome commentary and cover all of the events from Freestyle Motocross, Best Trick, Best Whip, Quarter Pipe Highest Air and 110s All that and more!  Share it around to your moto mates!

NIGHT of the JUMPs returned for 2022 with the Freestyle of Nations in Munich and Cologne with almost back to back events after a couple of years in Covid-19 limbo and we wrap-up both events with this short, sharp podcast! Firstly we cover Munich with the World Team vs Team Czech vs Team France.  Huge crashes, some controversial decisions I thought, but one hell of a return for the season. And the second event held in Cologne just last weekend was between Team Germany vs Spain vs Italy.  And with some of the best riders having only 2 hours sleep, they still threw down like you would have never known! Find out how Luc Ackermann managed to smash into the wall in Munich, Maxime Gregoire returning to try land the Nac-Flair which he crashed out on in Basel in 2021.  David Rinaldo on fire and filling in for Germany for some reason?!  Kai Haase returning to competition after his AMA SX training crash in the USA with a Front Flip with absolutely no training.  Marc Pinyol getting back on the bike after being heavily concussed only a few days before competition. Plenty more went on, but you'll have to listen to find out!
