episode 85: $40,000 for the First and (last time) Monster Energy Cup happened in 2011 / TBT
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!
