Who is flying upside down in the sky there against the picturesque backdrop of the Cologne Cathedral?It's German freestyle motocross world champion and X Games winner Luc Ackermann, who is launching off on a spectacular ride on land, water and air with never seen before tricks. For this, he creatively uses the urban obstacles of Duisburg's shipping port as a freestyle course and ends with a huge backflip finale over a 25-meter gap between two moving cargo ships on the Rhine.Three world´s first tricks and a supersize freestyle parkourNine world records, a world championship title and an X Games gold medal: Luc Ackermann loves special challenges and masters them with flying colors. Plagued by competition cancellations, he set his own new goals. True to his motto "Go Big or Go Home," it quickly became clear over the course of the past one and a half years of planning that they were big as usual. Three "World's Firsts" - tricks that no one before him had ever jumped before - were to be his goals. For the "Backflip Bonk" he jumps halfway backwards onto a container suspended twelve meters above the ground, touches the underside upside down with his rear tire and completes the rotation. The "360° Sand Curtain", a lateral 360°-degree rotation around its own axis, is garnished by falling sand from an excavator shovel and the 25-meter wide "Tsunami Backflip", in which Luc flies above the Rhine while only hanging on his handlebars, complete the trick trio.Watch the full clip of "Luc Ackermann: FMX Unloaded" here on YouTube (24th November 2021, 3pm CET):https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zNElyQOugZs
