7th Annual MTX Free-Style Competition Jump Concludes
- 14 years ago
And now to the Czech Republic, where many gathered for the seventh annual free-style motocross racing competitions. The race takes place on the track of Petr Kuchar - an FMX pioneer in the country and the most famous Czech free-style rider.
Riders from the Czech Republic, Poland, Hungary and Slovakia come in great numbers to attend the 7th year of the Monster FMX JAM show.
Racers say the show is so attractive because its track is not only interesting, but very sophisticated technically.
[Ondrej Zaruba, FMX Rider]:
“This is my third time here because, basically, I've been jumping for three years. Kuchar's got a 30 meter high ramp here which is totally great. There's so much time there to do your jim-dandy tricks.”
Among participants was 10-year-old Martin Cesak, one of the world’s youngest free-style riders.
[Martin Cesak, FMX Rider]:
“The weather's not too great, there's wind. I just hope it'll work out because I was looking forward to this show so much. I hope it'll be alright.”
Martin has been training in Hustopece for one week.
His father, Kamil, supports him, even building Martin a training facility.
But Kamil admits how relieved he feels when his son finishes training unharmed.
In the first half, each rider performed six jumps that were judged for their style and technique.
Small motorbikes and pitt bikes in the second half of the show also had their share of mesmerizing jumps.
Together with BMXs they made the show more appealing.
The third part of the show judged speed and style, with coupled riders racing along the jump circuit.
The winner of the speed and style discipline was Ondrej Zaruba, who's been doing FXM for two-and-a-half years.
Even though the weather throughout the day was windy, the rain at least held off, avoiding complications for riders.
To top off a great day full of complicated and fascinating tricks, by the end, even the sun came out and the wind died down, marking the event a success.
