Meanwhile, in Denmark, the Denmark Mountain Bike Club hosted the annual Backyard Bust-Up jumps event generously hosted by the Ross family from Denmark.

The event has a number of dirt jumps and a kicker ramp to a massive air bag landing mat, which allows riders a soft landing in the event they do not execute their jump correctly.

DMBC president Nathan Davenport said it was a fantastic event. “The event is a real fun-filled highlight in their calendar,” he said.

“We were stoked to see the young boys and girls showing their ‘steeze-to-please’ (style).”
