DIRT Surfer take-off Tsunami Flip!? Companion from FMX na Roca in Brazil 2025
Riders Lounge Podcast - Freeride / Freestyle Motocross and Action SportsShow Notes
It takes a lot for anyone to come close to surprising Javier Villegas, the veteran FMX rider from Chile and former World Champion.
But Nico Ferreira came with the big tricks at the Brazilian FMX Championships now known as FMX na Roca with a Surfer take-off to Tsunami backflip over a Dirt Jump!!! And it was only like 65ft and mellow as hell on a step-down. How the hell did Nico get that done?
Either way, it was enough to narrowly take the win over Javier in Brazil!

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!

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.
