Where did Metz and Link go? TBT Live / FMX Riot 2 (Swingarm City)
Riders Lounge Podcast - Freeride / Freestyle Motocross and Action SportsShow Notes
As we get into the middle of the FMX Riot series of Freeride competitions wayyy back in the old days on this weeks Throwback Thursday live viewing, we were expecting to see a big return from Mike Metzger and as far as Clint Esposito and I were aware as we were watching it live, Metz was on top!
But to our surprise and probably that of everyone, Metz upped and left before the last day of competition, and Larry Linkogle even did a sneaky exit as well. Leaving the battle between Dustin Miller and Mike Mason for the win.
There was so much in this next addition of FMX Riot with new riders and a new landscape that looks more like the moon than earth! Swingarm City hosted the second series and the guys destroyed it with technical hits and big jumps.
Rider line-up included:
Mike Metzger
Dustin Miller
Drake McElroy
Todd Potter
Mike Mason
Mat Rebeaud
Brian Foster
Myles Richmond
Larry Linkogle

Here we go! It has been a minute since the last podcast!
10 years ago in Hamburg, Germany, Hannes Ackermann took his first major win at NIGHT of the JUMPs against some of the world's best riders! The following year, he would suffer a horrendous crash, broken back and take 9 years to get back to the point he can ride consistently at NOTJ. This weekend, he'll be back in Hamburg and bringing the heat with some new tricks and lets see if he can snatch a win. But it's going to be tough to get past his younger brother and 3x World Champ, Luc Ackermann and 6 more riders ready to throw down! Tune in for the latest preview with Clint Esposito and Steve Sommerfeld from the Two Wheels to Freedom YT The competition will go down this Saturday night, tune into NIGHT of the JUMPs YouTube LiveStream 7:00pm local German time UNofficial Track Walk - if you buy tickets and want the exclusive track walk with Steve, please message on Riders Lounge Podcast Instagram with proof of ticket and see you at 17:15 for the VIP walk!
This was a wild one! NIGHT of the JUMPs 3rd round of competition came to Budapest, Hungary for the very first time and the second best qualifier crashed out and nearly wiped our the reigning World Champion!
Did you guys know about this one? I didn't!
While I was driving on the German autobahn trying to figure out AI audio enhancements to make my recording sound better than listening to a guy talking into a phone microphone in an empty van full of road-noise... Luc Ackermann was Tsunami-Flipping from one semi-trailer to another truck, at speed, over a 9 metre high street sign.
