Four riders race downhill on a prepared BMX like track, simply trying to get down first. In recent years the tracks have been rougher and less like those used in BMX. Four-cross was added to the UCI Mountain Bike World Cup and the UCI Mountain Bike &amp; Trials World Championships in 2002, replacing dual slalom. It was removed from the World Cup following the 2011 series. A replacement world series, the 4X Pro Tour, was launched in 2012.<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-131148 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-medium'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2015\/08\/1_foto-jbc-revelations-2015-galerie-po-z\u00e1vodu-jan-kasl.webp'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2015\/08\/1_foto-jbc-revelations-2015-galerie-po-z\u00e1vodu-jan-kasl-300x200.webp\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2015\/08\/1_foto-jbc-revelations-2015-galerie-po-z\u00e1vodu-jan-kasl-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2015\/08\/1_foto-jbc-revelations-2015-galerie-po-z\u00e1vodu-jan-kasl-1024x683.webp 1024w, https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2015\/08\/1_foto-jbc-revelations-2015-galerie-po-z\u00e1vodu-jan-kasl-768x512.webp 768w, https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2015\/08\/1_foto-jbc-revelations-2015-galerie-po-z\u00e1vodu-jan-kasl-272x182.webp 272w, https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2015\/08\/1_foto-jbc-revelations-2015-galerie-po-z\u00e1vodu-jan-kasl.webp 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2015\/08\/slavik-scaled.webp'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2015\/08\/slavik-300x200.webp\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2015\/08\/slavik-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2015\/08\/slavik-1024x681.webp 1024w, https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2015\/08\/slavik-768x511.webp 768w, https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2015\/08\/slavik-1536x1022.webp 1536w, https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2015\/08\/slavik-2048x1363.webp 2048w, https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2015\/08\/slavik-1920x1277.webp 1920w, https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2015\/08\/slavik-272x182.webp 272w, https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2015\/08\/slavik-1920x1277.webp 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2015\/08\/AG9C9602-1.webp'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2015\/08\/AG9C9602-1-300x200.webp\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2015\/08\/AG9C9602-1-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2015\/08\/AG9C9602-1-1024x683.webp 1024w, https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2015\/08\/AG9C9602-1-768x512.webp 768w, https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2015\/08\/AG9C9602-1-1536x1024.webp 1536w, https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2015\/08\/AG9C9602-1-2048x1365.webp 2048w, https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2015\/08\/AG9C9602-1-1920x1280.webp 1920w, https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2015\/08\/AG9C9602-1-272x182.webp 272w, https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2015\/08\/AG9C9602-1-1920x1280.webp 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After a very successful JBC 4X Revelations in 2013 and 2014 the JBC 4X Revelations were back once again.
