The FIM Freestyle MX World Championships 2009 are close to it’s final decision.

On upcoming Saturday the FMX riders will fight for the second last points of the World Cup at the NIGHT of the JUMPs in Windhoek/Namibia. Due to the security cancellation of the contests in Zagreb only 40 points are left to collect for the overall ranking. Last years World Champ Remi Bizouard leads with 27/28 points ahead of Jose Miralles and Libor Podmol. If the French rider wins at Tony Rust Race Track, he would defend his title automatic. Should Bizouard end up behind Miralles and Podmol, but looses only 7 or 8 points to them, he still would hold the crown.

But not only the fight for the title will put the temperature high in the Namibian desert. Brody Wilson (148 points) and Brice Izzo (140 points) still have their chances to reach the podium.

Also the local heroes Nick de Wit (South Africa), Alistar Sayer (Botswana) and Colin Stantan (South Africa) will guarantee more spectacular runs. In front of their African crowd they will do whatever they can to reach the finals. Nick de Wit returns to the IFMXF track in Namibia after nearly 3 years absence. Alistar Sayer made his NIGHT of the JUMPs experience already in Cologne this year. Colin Stantan will give his debut on the NIGHT of the JUMPs and FIM Freestyle MX World Championship track.

Steve Mini, Massimo Bianconcini and both Germans Fabian Bauersachs and Hannes Ackermann will smash down their best tricks on the African dirt to collect maximal points for the overall ranking. In the next weeks the field of riders for the NIGHT of the JUMPs / FIM Freestyle MX World Championships will be announced. So everyone wants to present his best FMX to make sure being on the riders list.
