Masters of Dirt Freestyle Firestorm is here!
The Freestyle Firestorm European Tour kick-off in Zagreb was more than just the first tour stop – it was a statement. A statement for uncompromising action, international top athletes, and the next generation of freestyle sports.
On January 16, 2026, Zagreb became the stage for a tour launch that left no room for doubt: Masters of Dirt is back! Close to 8,000 fans packed the arena, transforming it into a boiling sea of action, sound, and adrenaline.
The opening in Zagreb was not just the first stop of the tour, but a powerful declaration of what the Freestyle Firestorm Tour stands for.
Freestyle Motocross, BMX, MTB, Quad, Scooter and even Snowmobile athletes delivered an exceptionally high technical level, featuring massive jumps, demanding tricks, and precisely timed runs. Enhanced by lighting, pyro, and sound elements, the show left the audience barely any time to catch their breath. With every run, the energy intensified, and the crowd quite literally carried the riders over the ramps.
One of the most technically demanding tricks of the evening was delivered by José Mincha, the newest member of the Masters of Dirt family. His Frontflip Suicide left the arena holding its breath and ranked among the most spectacular moments of the tour opener.
The spotlight was also on the next generation of freestyle: Harley Beckett, at just 7 years old the youngest rider of the 2026 Freestyle Firestorm Tour, impressed with a massive, cleanly landed backflip and was rewarded with standing ovations.
Additional surprise moments were delivered by Skullbunny, M.O.D.’s official mascot, who entered the track alongside the kids during the “Future Fire” segment and, with a massive and completely unexpected backflip, quickly became one of the stars of the show.
The evening was rounded off by Marin Ranteš, Zagreb’s own BMX Olympic participant, who delivered multiple standout tricks and was ultimately voted Fan Favorite by the crowd.
In 2026, Masters of Dirt once again stays true to its mission of pushing boundaries and continuously redefining freestyle sports. Different disciplines, generations, and styles merged into a show that is not simply watched, but truly experienced.
