There’s nothing better than some pumptrack action over winter to sharpen up your skills, it’s time to get your pump on! How about this for some inspiration, world class pumptrack action inside a nightclub, featuring international downhillers, bmxers and dirt jumpers!
The 2nd annual PUMP BATTLE SERIES – CLUB EDITION hosted by Joost Wichman & Twan van Gendt at the City Lido Club.
Racers from all disciplines duelled through the club and partied all night.
Check out the thrills, spills, and party.
Joost Wichman & Twan van Gendt threw down an unique pumptrack event.
The former World Champion MTB and Olympic BMX finalist built up a Bikeparkitect modular pumptrack inside a club.
Over 70 riders from different bike disciplines competed against each other on the tight oval pumptrack.
Riders such as Noel Niederberger (DH), Martijn Jaspers (BMX racing) or Desmond Tessemaker (Masters of Dirt) could’t stop young BMX talent, and member of the National Olympic talent team, Niels Bensink to earn his second PBS win in a row.
Niels taking the win was not the only talk of the town afterwards. The visitors of Club City Lido went wild during this unique event, which had every ingredient for an insane night.
Live DJ act with drummer, showgirls and of course lots of speed!
Another highlight of the night was the DTX13 freestyle BMX show, with a backflip through one of the chandeliers. Rick Koekoek, the guinness book world record holder, jumped of the balcony with his bike. Well, you get the picture. It was one of those nights
The next Pump Battle Series will be held the 10th of May during the Papendal Bike event in Arnhem.
