The Premiere of the NIGHT of the JUMPs in Basel was marked by some crashes. The riders had their problems with the track. But still it was amazing Freestyle Motocross and with the victory of Mat Rebeaud it could not have a better ending. In the ranking of the FIM Freestyle MX World Championships only small changes happened. Romain Izzo still leads ahead of Remi Bizouard. Ailo Gaup stays 3rd ahead of Libor Podmol. With his victory Mat Rebeaud climbed to 5th position. Next points will be given at the second day of the NIGHT of the JUMPs in Basel on Saturday.
