Night of the Jumps: Beijing's FMX Grand Prix Premiere

Hardcore motorcyclists and casual voyeurs, listen up: on August 17 and 18, Night of the Jumps is bringing the 2013 Freestyle Motorcross World Championship to Beijing’s MasterCard Center, and tickets are selling out fast.

The best freestyling motorcyclists in the world will be maneuvering it up in front of judges from all over the planet, duking it out for the title of World Champion. In the 11 years it’s been around, Night of the Jumps has showcased Freestyle Motorcross on four continents in 25 countries, and this is China's second time hosting an FMX event: last September, the International Sports Arena of Guangzhou premiered China’s FMX Grand Prix. China's motorcycle culture may be pretty sparse right now, but it sounds as if things are looking up for Chinese motorcycle aficionados. I guess we'll just have to head out to MasterCard Center and see for ourselves.
