Night of the Jumps
NIGHT of the JUMPs tonight in Frankfurt – you can watch live on www.extreme.com
Interview: 5 Mins with FsX Team Rider Jamie Squibb
When we heard our FreestyleXtreme team rider Jamie Squibb got an invite to ride the final round of the 2014 World FMX Championships at Night of the Jumps, we were stoked – but not as stoked as Jamie was! As it turned out we were going to be in Frankfurt for this epic weekend of FMX as well, so between practice sessions on day two, we managed to sit down with Squibby and fire some questions at him…
So Squibby, How long has it been since you last rode a Night of the Jumps contest?
Haha, you’re making me show my age now. The last one was in France, in 2004 with the likes of Mad Mike Jones. So ten years ago now which is pretty scary, haha!
How’s your experience been here in Frankfurt so far?
Yeah it’s been awesome. I’ll be honest though, I was pretty nervous coming here. I just wanted to make sure I rode my best and showed everyone I was up to the job you know. I’m really happy with how last night’s run went. I managed to get the full run figured out and memorized, I got my Flip Lever and GPR settings all dialled in and it felt like it all flowed together well. Today I felt a lot more relaxed. I actually learned a new trick just now in practice and I’ve changed a couple of tricks up for my run tonight. I think I’m going to try and slow the run down a bit tonight, and just work on improving it in a few areas. I’m just so stoked to be here haha.
Squibbfreestyle Team Update
So the past few weeks have been mega busy with the show season now in full swing. Team Rider Stu Macey unfortunately over jumped the ramp and broke both ankles at the BHP Fuel Fest @ West Point Arena, Exeter. We are pleased to let you know that Stu has had the ok and is out of hospital and now recovering at home.
From the BHP Fest it was on to the Weston-Super-Mare Pro Nationals festival where Jamie pulled out all the stops throwing down super flips, backflips and no hander landers for the crowds viewing pleasure.
We were also joined by the media crew from Virgin life insurance, they spent a few days at the training compound and then shot for an entire day for their new internet advert that will be released in the near future starring Jamie and his side kick Kenny…. watch this space.
Jamie met with F2 Football Freestylers to film the last episode in a series of shows in a park in London – you can watch the show here.
Most recently Jamie has just returned from Goodwood Festival of Speed where he had the pleasure of riding alongside FMX Legends such as Edgar Torrontaras, Steve Sommerfield, Petr Pilat, Emma McFerran, Hannes Ackermann and not forgetting UK talent Dave Wiggins! The show was amazing from beginning to end with the best of BMX, FMX and Trials Riders from around the globe…
Here are some shots from recent events.
