2024 Backyard Battle Stops in Spain for an Epic Rip Through the Countryside.

The final stop of the 2024 Backyard Battle series recently arrived in Spain at Adolf Silva’s private jump compound ‘Loco Camp,’ hosting an epic lineup of riders to shred the multiple lines on offer. 

The 'Loco Camp' layout includes two sections. The first area of the compound features berms, hips, and steep lips, making this a freeride playground. The other section of the compound caters to Silva's obsession with big air, which has a straighter approach, fewer technical slopestyle jumps, and more big gaps. The first jump featured a massive double gap that saw a ton of big tricks and huge rotations all week. 

Some torrential rain in the days leading up wasn’t enough to stop the laps from going down on the main sections. Although the jumps took a bit of a beating from the weather, the riders all picked up the tools to get the lines rideable on day one. Keeping the jumps covered overnight to prevent any further damage was crucial for the days of riding ahead. With Adolf’s spot being suitable for MTB and BMX, there was a diverse lineup of riders across multiple disciplines. 

Tom Van Den Bogaard brought his stylish bag of tricks, Sergio Layos and Louis Reboul rode both BMX and MTB with relative ease, Lukas Schafer, being who he is, threw down his effortlessly smooth style. Adolf stretched superman-style maneuvers beyond comprehension. Backyard Builds newcomer Alessio Tonoli stoked everybody with his loose style and unique combos proving that he will be someone to look out for in the future. 

Adolf gave out the following rider-voted awards at the end of the week:

• Best Trick: Dorian Macher - Awarded for putting down a flip tuck to late whip on the big line.

• Best Style: Alessio ‘Cornflakes’ Tonoli - His first appearance at BYB turned some heads, bringing huge whips, cool combos, and wild-looking 360’s earned him the most stylish rider of the week.

• Biggest Loco: Daniel Ruso - This rider always has something up his sleeve at BYB, consistently doing some of the wildest rotations on the biggest features, a double flip on the first jump in the big line sealed the deal.

• King of Loco Camp: Louis Reboul - Undeniably one of the most talented riders to touch a bike, he is always first to pick up a shovel and usually last to put down his bike. Louis did some of the best biking on wheels of varied sizes all week.
