He is the 1998 World Freestyle Motocross Champion and won the Red Bull X-Fighters competition in 2001. He is attributed as being "one of the founding fathers of freestyle motocross" and became known as "Mad" Mike Jones after an Italian promoter described his stunts as "Mad".

This is a podcast from the all new NIGHT of the JUMPs Podcast and thought you want to hear it over here on the Riders Lounge. And we've got some pretty huge news! Dany Torres, the legend of Red Bull X-Fighters with the most ever head to head wins and taking a World Tour series win, will return to FMX for the first time since his retirement after having a full knee replacement. And he'll be making his return at NIGHT of the JUMPs in the Freestyle of Nations event in Berlin on February 24/25. Dany will be riding with Maikel Melero again, who were both part of the first ever Freestyle of Nations win in 2014 for Team Spain. This time with Jose Miralles retired, Marc Pinyol will jump in to fill the gaps! Riding for Team Germany on home soil will be Luc Ackermann! The current World Champion and X Games gold medallist will be joined by the real local from Berlin, Kai Haase. Kai is one of the most naturally talented riders in all forms of 2 wheel dirt action, having competed in Supercross, Motocross, Hard Enduro, Speedway, Flat Track and Downhill MTB. And to fill out the German team, they've brought in the wild card again of David Rinaldo after his last performance helped them snag a win in Cologne 2022. Team Czech Republic will be tough to beat with the European Champion Petr Pilat, followed by the younger of the Podmols, Filip Podmol and the young style cat Matej Cesak!

Hi and welcome to the Riders Lounge Podcast, I'm Steve Sommerfeld your host for today's online chat with another of Freestyle Motocross' top riders and who has actually just picked up his 5th Brazilian FMX Championship, all the way from Sao Paolo in Brazil, it's Fred Kyrillos. While we still are in a holding pattern of no events, I'm stoked Fred was able to put the tools down and jump on for a chat to talk about the latest competition, how it felt to ride in the middle of Covid without a crowd and to stand on top of the box again, in a country with such a deep pool of talent in FMX. When I look at Brazil's Freestyle Motocross scene, it still feels a lot like when I was riding in Australia. There are a lot of guys, a lot of old guys, a lot of new guys always coming through and it's good to see they are still putting on a national competition every year, and even having some international flavour thrown into the mix! I'm sure as most of the followers of this podcast, you're already following FMX pretty closely and would know Fred, but if you might not have heard of the name, he's been in almost every single event going around at one point in time. From NIGHT of the JUMPs to X Games, Red Bull X-Fighters, Nitro World Games and anything in between. He's one of those guys who has learned a lot from the big events, and brought that knowledge back to Brazil to help push not just himself but everyone around him and to continue building the sport there.

Before having millions of YouTube views like today, Sebastian Westberg had a meteoric rise to the top echelons of FMX after winning the chance to ride at Red Bull X-Fighters as the first "Novillero" with a Fan Vote in 2016 in Madrid, Spain. But one day before the event, he broke his leg in the foam pit training on a Flair 540! Somehow he slipped his foot into his boot and competed and made a name for himself in the famous Plaza de Toros Las Ventas bullfighting ring! Since then, Seb has spent so much time creating his annual YouTube viral videos with fellow Finnish stunt rider, Niko Säkkinen on the Road Bike! The latest edition is out now, simply called DIRTBIKE VS. STREETBIKE 4.0 and is already going viral. You can watch here to see what the hype is about! Thank you to the listener's of this podcast, who wanted to hear from riders on how they approach their Social Media, so this episode Seb discusses his secrets to his YouTube success with DIRTBIKE VS.

Undoubtedly one of the greatest ever Freestyle Motocross riders, Levi Sherwood stunned the FMX world when he won at his first ever appearance of the 2009 Red Bull X-Fighters event in Mexico City. Levi then stunned the world when he retired from competition only 10 years later in 2019, at the age of 28, when he was seemingly at the peak of his career. After a huge 2017 season, winning everything from X Games Gold in Freestyle MX and Best Trick, Nitro World Games and Red Bull X-Fighters, no one would have predicted Levi's retirement. Is it a coincidence that Levi's final X-Fighters was also the final ever X-Fighters!? You probably already know almost everything about the Rubber Kid from New Zealand, so in this episode, we go into the process of retirement but more importantly his next step into engineering with CNC, Titanium and of course what he's becoming so known for on social media, his Carbon Fibre work and creating his new projects. Motorcycle Manufacturer's and Factory Race Teams spend millions and millions of dollars every year on development. And Levi Sherwood, a one-man-band has modified his KTM 250sx to weigh in only at 89.5 kilograms wet (ready to ride, with fuel/oils/fluids!) We cover almost everything, from Dirt Bike geometry, how a proper BMX 360 could be pulled, but maybe destroying FMX at the same time. Also the work going into creating potentially a new Standard in Freestyle MX Ramp Production, and of course, his thoughts on what happened to Clinton Moore at X Games and that Next Gen crash. Thank you so much to Levi for taking the time to chat and I hope you enjoy this new Podcast!
