FMX Gladiator Games 2024

On December 14th, the 22nd edition of the oldest freestyle motocross event in Europe will begin at the O2 Arena in Prague. The adrenaline event of the year will once again have two acts, the afternoon one starting at 1:30 PM and the evening one at 7:00 PM. The afternoon show is, of course, intended for parents with younger children. Otherwise, the program for both shows will be the same.

New edition

Prague is usually one of the last FMX events of the year. It is a destination for the best riders in the world. This year will be no different. It is hard to highlight just one rider; they are all part of the world elite. Julien Vanstippen, Petr Pilát, Edgar Torronteras, Matěj Česák, or Jason Cesco on a snow scooter. Each name is a legend. The organizers have also invited several new faces this year that caught their attention during the year. Among them is Jose Mincha from Spain, who performs several variations of the FRONT flip, which is a forward rotation somersault. Another newcomer to the FMX Gladiator Games will be Swede Marcus Ohlsson, for whom a 300 kg snow scooter is no obstacle, and his tricks are on par with his colleagues on motocross bikes. The aggressive Polish rider Mikolaj Tempka will also have a chance to showcase himself to the demanding Prague audience. For the second time, the audience will be introduced to Matyáš Novotný, who is only 12 years old.

Last week, František Máca was seriously injured during an event in Ostrava, so he will likely only be in the O2 arena as a spectator. Unfortunately, injuries are part of freestyle motocross. Especially when tricks are constantly evolving and riders get fired up. All our representatives, led by Petr "Pilník" Pilát, who jumped with broken ribs in the O2 arena last year, could tell you about that. Pilník is preparing a special show for the audience, and as we know him, it will definitely be worth it.

Tickets for the FMX Gladiator Games on December 14 at 1:30 PM and 7 PM can be purchased on the Ticketportal website.
