Watch Twitch, Tyler Bereman, and Darryn Durham take it Into The Hills

Some crispy freeriding from Beaumont, So-Cal The guys at Transworld Motocross were recently treated to an afternoon with Stenberg, Bereman and Durham - after a burst of rainfall cooked up perfect riding conditions. With a simple GoPro setup in tow, here's the best of the shoot - steezy freeriding at its finest.

Slow Motion Double Grab

Yeah, yeah - we know you're fed up with 100fps slow motion footage. But you're just going to have to deal with it for a couple more minutes after watching this video of Norwegian FMX star Ailo Guap performing a double grab. In, rather worryingly, what looks like his ganddad's pyjamas... Regardless, it you didn't already, being able to see the athletic talent and just how much time these guys are in the air and not even touching their bikes will give you a new respect for Freestyle Motocross dudes.

Rock The Ramp

 FMX4Ever recently put on Rock the Ramp, a weekend of music, FMX and partying in Zelzate, Belgium. And boy did it go off! Check out the video to see 11 riders from six countries going at it in front of 2500 wild fans. Wish we’d have been there!

Libor Podmol FMX

 It shouldn’t be a secret by now. Here at Big Air Jam, we love Libor Podmol. The guy has some unmatched skills and a style that most riders would kill for. Well the dude just went even higher in our estimation after releasing this rear facing GoPro of him playing around at his home track in Czech Republic. Seriously, even when this guy is clowning around he’s still sick.

Immersed With Rob Adelberg

Being at most FMX events, we thought we had a pretty good handle on how riders are feeling going in to a big event. It was interested to see this short documentary with the Mulisha rider then, as he discusses his feelings going into the event and explains his motivation to keep pushing himself in this increasingly competitive sport. With some exclusive footage from training as well as from the big event itself, this is an edit not too miss!

JEFFREY HERLINGS AND PIRELLI FIM MOTOCROSS MX2 WORLD CHAMPIONS

The Dutch KTM star defends his championship with three rounds to spare providing Pirelli with their 59th Motocross Championship while the Scorpion MX again ‘owns’ MX1 

Loket (Czech Republic), 5 August 2013 ­– Pirelli won its 59th FIM Motocross World Championship thanks to the performance of eighteen year old Dutchman Jeffrey Herlings who closed out the MX2 category with three rounds to run.

The KTM rider guided his factory 250SX-F with Pirelli Scorpion MX MidSoft 32F front and Scorpion MX MidSoft 32 rear to victory and confirmed his second title after winning all fourteen of seventeen rounds in the series so far. In the Czech Republic Herlings was again unstoppable and logged his twelfth double of the year ahead of other Pirelli riders Christophe Charlier, Aleksandr Tonkov, Alex Lupino and team-mate Jordi Tixier; the latter maintaining second spot in the MX2 standings.

While the MX2 class followed the formbook, MX1 was a little different as works Suzuki and Pirelli rider Clement Desalle celebrated his second triumph of the campaign with a resolute double run. The Belgian classified ahead of team-mate Kevin Strijbos; his countryman posting second and fourth positions. Like other Pirelli representatives in the category he used Scorpion MX MidSoft 32F front and Scorpion MX MidSoft 32 rear with dimensions of 120/90-19 to offer the best chance of traction on the stony terrain that hardly any grip.

MX1 points leader Antonio Cairoli could only finish fifth overall, just beaten by team-mate Ken De Dycker and unable to find a decent feeling on the track across the weekend. In the first race he stalled his bike and lost ground, recovering to take fourth, while in the second moto he crashed in the opening phases trying to pass Jeremy Van Horebeek and again had to fight for positions to take seventh. Despite the events of the Grand Prix of Czech Republic, Cairoli can still count on an advantage of ninety points over Desalle and can toast a seventh title come the next round of the series at Bastogne for the Grand Prix of Belgium on August 18th.

At Loket the Scorpion MX also shone in the sixth fixture in the European EMX250 Championship where a fifth victory was obtained by series leader Valentin Guillod.

This is a huge accolade for the young people; they are delighted to be participating in such a prestigious event and are looking forward to be judges on the night.

"The young people appreciate the amount of skills that are required by bikers in these events and know only too well the hard work and dedication it takes to become professional bikers; they are very worthy candidates and I'm so pleased that they have been asked to judge at this level."

Some of the finest freestyle motocross riders in Europe will be showing off their gravity defying skills featuring the UK's best freestyle riders including Chris Birch - X-fighters pilot and current British Champion; Jamie Squibb - former Big Air Jam Champion; John Pearson - first rider in the UK to pull the back flip on a motocross bike; Danny Veale, Stuart Macey, Ben Robinson and Jon Ritchie.Doors open at 6pm and the event promises to be a fun-packed night for all the family.

FMX Trick List - Bar Tricks

Shoalin Bar Hop 

Cordova

Stripper

Dead Body

Stale Fish

The freestyle motocross, bar hop trick is a relatively easy trick to learn. It also serves as the base move for other, more advanced tricks, some riders get on well with bar tricks, some then tend to shy away from them depending on the learning experience of the bar tricks. It can be very easy with the bar tricks to get caught up with the feet and end a pile on the floor!  Once a rider has mastered the basic Bar Hop of getting the legs through the bars, and when the bar Hop Has been perfected and stretched out , variations can then follow such as the Shoalin Bar Hop and then the super stretched out Dead Body. Also once you`ve got a Bar Hop dialled there is also the Mcmetz , where a rider will let go of both hands on the handle bars so the feet can be brought back around on to the bike and the rider then grabbing back on to the handle bars. Stale Fish a kind of wrapping the legs around one the arms on the bars .Sterilizer which if you can do bar hop is basically landing the bike in the bar hop position being sat on the handle bars when landing.A rider can also work on putting the feet on to the top of the bars and then work on the Cordova where a rider places the feet on to the bars and then arches the body back .The stripper is a kind of mixture of the bar hop and Cordova , where in the Cordova position a rider puts one foot through the bars.

Trick List - Back Flip

Chris Birch Upside Down On His KTM 250

In 1998, Adam Owsley did a complete backflip into a pond on a KX250. Carey Hart was the first to attempt one to dirt at the 2000 Gravity Games, nearly riding away but suffering a crash after over-rotating his flip off the backside of a landing. Pastrana also attempted a similar one off the same year at XGames after his run. In 2001, Carey attempted one again at the XGames best trick competition, and crashed badly when he came off his bike while beginning his rotation. In April 2002, Caleb Wyatt tried several off of a specially made dirt hill, and eventually rode away from an attempt. Only months later in the summer of 2002, It was 2005 before the first back flip was pulled by a UK rider , and that rider was John Pearson from Preston at local riding spot to John on a step up.At the Big Air Jam 2006 competition John achieved gold in the sick trick competition by flipping the big gaps !  In the UK there are only a few riders now and still performing the Back flip John being the first and one of those select few, Chris Birch another rider who has stepped up and now has the back flip and over the winter months been working on combination  variations of the flip over 75ft ramp gap.

Trick List - Superman Seat Grab

Superman seat grab - Carey Hart was the first person to publicly do this BMX trick at the first IFMA events in 1998-1999, and since then the seat grab has evolved some what from the early days. Riders can now vary the Standard Seat grab in many ways, and one of the first ways a rider will try to improve their stock seat grab,by crossing the legs and making it into an Indian Air Seat Grab. From here a rider will try to work on getting the Seat Grab inverted , meaning the rider will progress to try and get their feet up above their head making the Seat Grab into a Hart Attack Seat Grab. It is then possible to style up the Hart Attack Seat Grab ,by either arching the legs and back, the Scorpion Hart Attack Seat Grab, or again by crossing the legs and making it in to a Hart Attack Seat Grab Indian Air. Also by getting the head to look back adds a certain style value.  A rider can then add more technical value to the Seat Grab combinations by either doing all the variations mention previously with 2 hands the Double Grab and all the variations as mentioned,  or by either hanging on to the seat with just one hand Seat Grab and all the variations. A rider in the early days of their FMX career will be keen to get the Seat Grab on to their trick list as many other tricks can then be achieved in quick succession once the basic seat grab has been nailed.
