FIM Freestyle MX World Championship Basel

On the 24th and 25th of April 2010 the IFMXF brings the NIGHT of the JUMPs / FIM Freestyle MX World Championship back to the St. Jakobshalle in Basel. For the 10th anniversary of the NIGHT of the JUMPs the official World Champion will be crowned for the 5th time. Two of the World Championship rounds take part in Basel and the fight for the win is harder than ever. 12 riders from 10 different nations will risk everything for important World Championship points.



The NIGHT of the JUMPs is the oldest and biggest international Freestyle MX series worldwide. It is the perfect mixture of international top sport (FIM Freestyle MX World Championship) and classical show elements as pyrotechnics and special light shows.

The first NIGHT oft he JUMPs took part in 2001. Since 10 years the series has developed to the top sport series in Freestyle Motocross. World Champions were crowned and Superstars were born over the years, those who are no invited to the other big shows of the continent. We are curious which idols will rise from this year’s series. For 2010 even more rider battle for the title that was won by Mat Rebeaud (SUI ’06), Ailo Gaup (NOR’ 07) and Remi Bizouard (FRA ’08 and ’09) before.

In 2010 a group of the world’s best riders out of 10 nations will be invited to the FIM Freestyle MX World Championship contests. For the event in Basel the three times vice world champion Libor Podmol (CZE), the current vice world champion Jose Miralles (ESP), Brody Wilson (USA), Alastair Sayer (BOT), Brice Izzo (FRA), Massimo Bianconcini (ITA), Rob Adelberg (AUS), the Tandem-Backflipper Petr Pilat (CZE), Chris Birch (GBR), William van den Putte (BEL) and Lukas Weis (GER) are seeded. The last place in the field went to Hannes Ackermann from good old Germany. All riders will show the newest and hardest backflip combinations and the whole range of the existing non-flip tricks in Basel. More extreme Freestyle sport has never been seen in Switzerland before.
