Idaten Jump is a children's mountain biking anime that was broadcast in Japan on TV Tokyo from October 1st, 2005, to September 9th, 2006. The show is an adaption of Toshihiro Fujiwara's manga series of the same name, which ran for 31 chapters in Kodansha's monthly Comic BomBom anthology magazine between April 2004 and October 2006. Produced by Trans Arts for Aniplex, the animated adaptation lasted 52 episodes.

The anime has been dubbed into English twice. An edited version produced by Hasbro aired in Canada and the United States between 2006 and 2007. A second, uncut English dub was made for broadcast across Animax Asia beginning in 2009. Neither version was released on home video or on any current official streaming services. Unofficial recordings have been limited, leaving many episodes unavailable.

An English version of the show quietly debuted on Cartoon Network in the United States at 6AM on December 7, 2006.[1] It was commissioned by American toy company Hasbro and was produced in-house at Cake Mix Studios, with recording done at D-Spot in Los Angeles. The dub later began airing on YTV in Canada beginning January 9, 2007. Cartoon Network's premiere run of the series ended on May 11, 2007 after 26 episodes had aired.[2] The show was removed from the channel's lineup shortly after. An additional 10 episodes reportedly aired in Canada, ending its run on October 6, 2007. The show was then removed from YTV's schedule in December 2007. It is not known if 36 episodes represents the entirety of Hasbro's production or if additional episodes were left unaired.

Various clips and full-length episodes were available on Hasbro's MonkeyBarTV streaming site, which was shutdown in 2009. This was the last time the dub was ever officially available.

Availability

For many years, the dub's presence was limited to just episodes 1 and 13, as uploaded to YouTube by series producer James Mastroianni and Guvnor Media. A number of fan recordings have also surfaced:
