After the Snowmobile backflip in Munich for the first time, the crowd were ready to see what was coming in the final. Leonardo Fini managed to get past Ryan Brown after Ryan made a mistake on his Seat Grab Backflip. Libor Podmol was able to fix his mistakes from the qualification and put together a much better run in the finals, despite his broken hand to land the Egg Roll, TP Roll, Surfer Tsunami Flip and Cliffhanger Flip and taking 2nd place on the podium.
Pat Bowden pushed for his first ever NIGHT of the JUMPs win with a Double Grab Flip, Ruler Flip, Hart Flip, Suicide No Hand Flip to No Hand Lander and Rock Solid Flip, but it was only enough for third place. The local hero, Luc Ackermann crashed on his California Roll attempt and was unable to get past the other riders to make it to the podium. If he had landed it, perhaps he could have made it to the top spot for the night. The German rider, however fell back to sixth place with the crash.
The reigning three time world champion, Maikel Melero, was the final rider of the night and delivered a lightning fast run including the Egg Roll, Nac Flair, California Roll, Seat Grab Flip, Tsunami Flip and Lazyboy Flip. With high scoring points, he secured another factory in front of Libor Podmol and Pat Bowden. ?
The next international event for NIGHT of the JUMPs will take place on 3rd of June, 2017 in the Barclaycard Arena, Hamburg. The Munich fans can already save the date in the calendar of 21st of April 2018 when NIGHT of the JUMPs will return with the longest running FMX series in the Olympic Hall.
