$40,000 for the First and (last time) Monster Energy Cup happened in 2011 / TBT
Riders Lounge Podcast - Freeride / Freestyle Motocross and Action SportsShow Notes
This truly was "Best Trick"! Only 1 jump for each rider, make it stick.
And whoever wins takes home $40,000.
Maybe that's why Monster Energy didn't bring this competition back again after the first year in 2011. It was too expensive for 1 jump!
This could be one of the best FMX competitions, but it only happened once!
With Mark Monea landing the 'Carry On', Jacko Strong front flipping, Cam Sinclair Double Flipping, Kyle Loza going for the Bike Flip and Todd Potter throwing Backflip Combos like noone's business.
Find out who won this competition and can you work out why we never saw another FMX Best Trick again from Monster Energy? We think it's a hell of a shame and would love to see it happen again somehow!

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.
