episode 58: Any pressure on the defending KING of the Whip 1 hour before competition? with Scotty Billett
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...
episode 59: Ryan van der Spuy's full blown Best Whip competition idea turns to gold at King of the Whip
Normally a Best Whip competition is just a small side act, of a bigger Freestyle Motocross competition or Motocross / Supercross race...
episode 60: Becoming South Africa's top FMX rider with Dallan Goldman from King of the Whip 2022
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...
episode 61: Convincing a Factory MX race team that you want to whip FMX ramps! Dalton Venter interview.
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...
episode 62: How bad can I say South African names before hosting King of the Whip with Jacques Human
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...
episode 63: 15 year kid just blew everyone away with the coolest whips! Ryan Adler with 5 ramp sessions ever!
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...
episode 64: NOTJ Preview: Dany Torres returning from retirement next weekend in Berlin!
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...
episode 65: Crashes galore and upsets at first 2 rounds of NOTJ in Berlin 2023!
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...
episode 66: The FMX Community is getting stronger! YouTube chat on a Live Stream felt like FreestyleMTX.com!
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...
episode 67: Munich Madness strikes again! Harry's big crash, Spain wins, Luc Wins and Scooters get a bigger cheer than everyone else!
What is it with Munich, Germany?
Has all the beer flowed into the river and everything goes a bit haywire?
Harry Bink unfortunately didn't get the bike he hoped for when it cut out on him on the ramp, just before he was about to show the world what the Next Gen ramp is all about!
And with that, the World Team were unable to do well at all in the points chase, which led to a Team Spain win with Melero, Pinyol and Parra getting the victory on the night for their team...
