The NIGHT of the JUMPs crew met once again in Berlin only one week after the World Championship kick-off in Basel. 12 riders from six nations took part in the second round of the FIM Freestyle MX World Championship in the sold-out Mercedes Benz Arena in Germany.

Libor Podmol and Maikel Melero were neck and neck for the victory. Podmol had an impressive run with the California Roll, Surfer to Tsunami Flip, Egg Roll and the Volt. The Czech star looked to have beaten the Spanish reigning World Champion, until Melero brought some of his biggest tricks including the California Roll, Seat Grab Indy Flip and Nac-Nac Flair. There would only be 4 points separating the pair, which meant Melero could celebrate his 12th victory in 12 months.

With the win in Berlin on the first night, Melero has increased his overall championship points with 40 points and the Aussie young-gun Pat Bowden is sitting in second place with 30 points.
