The World Champion Maikel Melero, winner of the first and of the second round. @Night of the Jumps The second round of the European Freestyle Championship produced another great spectacle in Austria to end the weekend of competition on Sunday. For the sixth time the Night of the Jumps FMX riders have converged on Linz, this year with two contests and probably the most spectacular contest seen on Austrian soil. After the event of the previous day where some of the hardest tricks in Freestyle Motocross were thrown down, on Sunday the riders went even further. The crowd were treated in qualifying to Double Grab flips, Hart Attack Flips, 360 and Surfer Take-Off to Tsunami Flip. However to reach the final it would be the reigning World Champion, Maikel Melero also with Remi Bizouard, Rob Adelberg, Petr Pilat, Pat Bowden and Jose Miralles. Six riders competed in the LifeProof Best

The World Champion Maikel Melero, winner of the first day. @Night of the Jumps A spectacular start to the Night of the Jumps season as the Tips Arena crowd witnessed an aerial assault of Freestyle MX action in Linz on Saturday night. Kicking off the European Freestyle Motocross Championship were the 11 FMX riders from six nations. In the mix was the Austrian local hero, Thomas Wirnsberger who against a top-class field was unable to assert himself and move into the finals. Rob Adelberg whose 2016 ambition is to win the FIM World Championship, was unable to take top honours on the podium. He put together an impeccable run and went for a California Roll to No-Hand-Landing on the Double Up. It would almost guarantee him a victory, if it weren’t for Melero who started his final run with a Double Grab Backflip and finished with his own version of
