  Martin Soderstrom. After watching Martin's just released video edit we were all expecting to see him on the podium, unfortunately the Swedish trick machine crashed during practice on a barspin to tailwhip. Luckily he's mostly all right with just a concussion and a few stitches, he should be back at the next tour stop in Switzerland. Heal up quickly!

 There are even riders who wasnt there and appear in the rankings, and other as Andreu that doesnt appear and they were there...
But sure Andreu was 3th!

Anybody knows why?

 I think it is because they haven't paid the the inscription to enter at the FMB ranking

 No, Andreu doesn't compete because he doesn't like to compete. He hate competitions. He only wants to ride, not to compete.

 they pay him to enter the fmb, like they did last year? and @PabloCrew stop copying his interview, he competes but just rides as he would normally, so technically he still competes but doesnt get competitive he just has fun

 Sam Pilgrim can definitely afford a front tooth now. I hope he gets a gold one, he can pay for it with all his giant checks

 Sad for MacDuff. Qualified for the finals but went down in practice... Destroyed the rear wheel and injured himself. Matt's a warrior we'll see him back at these events soon!

 probably Sam will take a part in most of american events so he remain at top3. besides that a lot of events takes place in europe so others riders will stay at top10

 is it mandatory for dirt jumpers to dress like douchey bros with oversized energy drink caps when they're not riding?

 I don't think it's mandatory as not all of them are wearing it...why? what do you wear when you're not riding, or in-between runs in the FMB World Tour?

 DH guys are the same. They're just reppin' their sponsors. That's no excuse for the horrible skinny jeans though.

Doesn't matter anyway, it's the riding that counts and these guys all kill it. Nuff said Wink
