41 riders in one backflip train - the record is set
This past weekend saw the 2013 Masters of Dirt 'Next Level' tour kick off in Vienna Austria.



When headliner Jimmy Blaze wrecked his Buggy during a backflip gone wrong on Saturday night, the crew scrambled to give the Sunday crowd a fitting replacement.

A few short calls, tweets and messages later and the M.O.D family had rounded up a whole lot of extra FMX riders for the Sunday show - many of whom drove through the night to be in Vienna by Sunday afternoon.

The idea? The biggest backflip train ever.
So, without any rehearsal beforehand, it was attempted in front of a live audience directly in the show this Sunday. The first go saw 40 of the 41 riders stick their flips. So they all lined up again and on the second run it all came together and the new record was set.
41 riders (18 FMX, 2 Snowmobile and 21 bicycles) all backflipping, and the crowd loved it!

Thanks to all of our riding buddies who jumped in and helped us make it happen! Check out the video of the action.
