promptly ruined the occasion for himself with a dead sailor. Brice Izzo did better, showing his Clicker to Superflip combo for the first time. Remi Bizouard’s Rulerflip was good enough to get him onto the podium but he once again had to admit defeat, this time by a slender onepoint margin to David Rinaldo, who laid on a trophy-winning display of new triple combos. In the meantime, Libor Podmol advanced to third place and had to sweat it out while the last rider up, Dany Torres, went into his run. But in his eagerness to impress, the Spanish rider botched the first trick of his run; an untidy landing from his Paris Hilton Flip bumped him down to sixth on the night. This left David Rinaldo to claim his second grand prix victory of the season. NIGHT of the JUMPs in Gdansk had one extra highlight for the fans, as former kickboxing world champion and Polish MP Iwona Guzowska partnered Petr Pilat in a tandem backflip. Next up was the Swiss Grand Prix double bill in Basel’s Sankt Jakobshalle arena, a venue that has now hosted the FIM Freestyle MX World Championship on seven occasions. With reigning champion Remi Bizouard ruled out of contention due to injury, the other top riders were determined to seize the initiative. David Rinaldo and Maikel Melero each performed a Double Seatgrab Flip, but almost incredibly, even this trick wasn’t enough for a podium on the night.
