The Magic of Night of the Jumps
What makes Night of the Jumps such a standout event? It’s more than just a showcase of talent—it’s an immersive experience that combines the raw power of extreme sports with the creativity and theatricality of live entertainment.

The two-hour shows, held on Saturday nights, featured daring FMX, BMX and Scooter jumps, with high-flying action, along with the FTA's choreographed routines that highlighted the unique skills of each athlete. A high-energy halftime performance ensured there wasn’t a dull moment in the packed arenas. This wasn’t just a competition; it was a celebration of what makes freestyle trampoline one of the most "fun to watch" new action sports.
Athlete Dedication Shines
The athletes who participated embodied the spirit of dedication and artistry that defines the sport. Traveling in from across Europe, they committed not only to performing but also to rigorous Saturday rehearsals that ensured the precision and creativity fans expect from Night of the Jumps.
